Characterization of a cytochrome b(558) ferric/cupric reductase from rabbit duodenal brush border membranes
Abstract
Iron and probably also copper are absorbed by the intestine in their reduced form. A b-type cytochrome, Dcytb, has recently been cloned from mouse and has been proposed to be the corresponding reductase. However, the nature of the cytochrome and the reduction reaction remain unknown. Here we describe the isolation and functional characterization of a novel b-type cytochrome from rabbit enterocytes. The 33 kDa heme protein was solubilized from brush border membranes with Triton X-100 and purified by successive ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Spectroscopic analysis of the heme revealed a b(558) cytochrome. The purified hemoprotein exhibited ascorbate-stimulated reduction of iron(III) and copper(II). The rate constants, k(1), for these reactions were 1.38 +/- 0.12 and 0.64 +/- 0.16 min(-1), respectively. Cytochrome b(558) may be the rabbit Dcytb homologue. A novel mechanism of how cytochrome b(558) could shuttle electrons from cytoplasmic ascorbate to luminal dehydroascorbate is proposed.
