摘要

We isolated cDNA clones for cytochromes b_(561) from sheep and porcine adrenal medullae using the RT-PCR technique. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of various species showed that there are two fully-conserved regions in this cytochrome. In addition, one methionyl and six histidyl residues (potential heme ligands) are fully-conserved. Based on a plausible structural model in which a polypeptide spans the vesicle membranes six times and holds two heme B molecules, the first conserved sequence (~(69)ALLVYRVFR~(77)) is located on the extravesicular side of an α-helical segment and the second one (~(120)SLHSW~(124)) is located in an intravesicular loop connecting two α-helical segments, respectively. Consideration of the relative locations of the fully-conserved sequences, and the methionyl and histidyl residues in the model led to a proposal that the first and second conserved sequences are likely to form the binding sites for extravesicular ascorbic acid and intravesicular semidehydroascorbic acid, respectively. A mild alkaline-treatment of purified bovine cytochrome b_(561) in oxidized state led to a specific loss of an electron-accepting ability from ascorbic acid for a half of the heme center, suggesting a distinct role for each of the two hemes.
