The covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c, and therefore the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria, is dependent on both NADH plus a cytosolic cofactor that has been identified to be FMN or FAD. NADH in concert with flavin nucleotides mediates the reduction of heme. Heme in the reduced state is a prerequisite for its covalent attachment to apocytochrome c by the enzyme cytochrome c heme lyase and thus for subsequent translocation of cytochrome c across the outer mitochondrial membrane during import.
血红素与脱辅基细胞色素c的共价连接,进而细胞色素c导入线粒体,依赖于NADH以及一种已被鉴定为FMN或FAD的胞质辅因子。NADH与黄素核苷酸协同介导血红素的还原。还原态的血红素是其通过细胞色素c血红素裂解酶与脱辅基细胞色素c共价连接的前提条件,因此也是细胞色素c在导入过程中跨线粒体外膜转运的前提条件。
