Although the role of TorA in the reduction of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) has been clearly established, no direct evidence for TorC involvement has been presented. TorC belongs to the NirT/NapC c-type cytochrome family based on homologies of its N-terminal tetrahemic domain (TorC(N)) to the cytochromes of this family, but TorC contains a C-terminal extension (TorC(C)) with an additional heme-binding site. In this study, we show that both domains are required for the anaerobic bacterial growth with TMAO. The intact TorC protein and its two domains, TorC(N) and TorC(C), were produced independently and purified for a biochemical characterization. The reduced form of TorC exhibited visible absorption maxima at 552, 523, and 417 nm. Mediated redox potentiometry of the heme centers of the purified components identified two negative midpoint potentials (-177 and -98 mV) localized in the tetrahemic TorC(N) and one positive midpoint potential (+120 mV) in the monohemic TorC(C). In agreement with these values, the in vitro reconstitution of electron transfer between TorC, TorC(N), or TorC(C) and TorA showed that only TorC and TorC(C) were capable of electron transfer to TorA. Surprisingly, interaction studies revealed that only TorC and TorC(N) strongly bind TorA. Therefore, TorC(C) directly transfers electrons to TorA, whereas TorC(N), which probably receives electrons from the menaquinone pool, is involved in both the electron transfer to TorC(C) and the binding to TorA."xsd:string |
