MtrC - Outer membrane protein, a decaheme c-type cytochrome
MtrC is a periplasmic decaheme cytochrome protein. MtrC is part of a group of proteins involved in the extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathway of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The EET pathway enables the bacterium to transfer electrons to external insoluble electron acceptors, such as metal oxides. MtrC protein sits on the outside of the outer membrane of the cell (as seen in the illustration). The MtrC protein is part of a larger complex of proteins, including MtrA (), and MtrB. which work together to facilitate the extracellular electron transfer process. MtrC is re-oxidised by reducing terminal electron acceptors, such as electrodes, via direct or mediated electron transfer.
