Primary Identifier | IPR017572 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Cyt_b558/566_suA |
description | This entry represents CbsA, a novel, highly glycosylated, mono-haem cytochrome b558/566 found in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and several other members of the Sulfolobales, a branch of the Crenarchaeota [, ]. Encoded at the same locus as CbsA are: CbsB, a hydrophobic protein, SoxL, a Rieske iron-sulphur protein, SoxN, a predicted membrane-bound b-type cytochrome b, and OdsN, a protein of unknown function. Transcriptional studies suggest that these proteins may form a complex analogous to the cytochrome bc1 complex. The redox-active subunits of this complex would consist of CbsA, SoxL and SoxN, while CbsB and OdsN would be additional non-redox-active subunits. |
