Apart from Fe2+ in heme, three additional metal ion binding sites for Na+, Ca2+, and Fe2+ are found, wherein the ions mostly form coordination bonds with the amino acid residues on the loop (G93-Y111) that interacts with heme. These ions seem to enhance the stability of heme insertion by increasing the loop's steadiness. The basic N-terminal end, together with helix alpha4 and loop G126-Y136, contributes positive charge to the region. In contrast, the acidic C-terminal end provides a negatively charged surface, yielding several electrostatic contact points with partner proteins for electron transfer. The need for an adapter protein bridging MDH to CytcL within appropriate proximity for electron transfer is satisfied by protein MxaJ. Native Ma-CytcL is purified from Methylophaga aminisulfidivorans cell culture by anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration.
