Tetraheme cytochrome c protein/ quinol dehydrogenase cymA
Two extracellular electron transfer pathways have been identified in the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by Shewanella oneidensis. These are indirect electron transfer, mediated by secreted electron shuttles, and direct extracellular electron transfer (DET) which involves direct contact with the extracellular material. The DET pathway involves c-type cytochromes in the bacterial membrane which includes cymA. cymA is an inner membrane protein that is essential for the reduction of extracellular materials. It accepts electrons from the cytoplasmic menaquinone pool where the electrons are then shuttled to outer membrane proteins for extracellular reduction.
