Location of the MT-CYB gene in the human mitochondrial genome (coral box).

Cytochrome b is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MT-CYB gene.[5] Its gene product is a subunit of the respiratory chain protein ubiquinol–cytochrome c reductase (UQCR, complex III or cytochrome bc1 complex), which consists of the products of one mitochondrially encoded gene, MT-CYB (mitochondrial cytochrome b), and ten nuclear genes—UQCRC1, UQCRC2, CYC1, UQCRFS1 (Rieske protein), UQCRB, "11kDa protein", UQCRH (cyt c1 Hinge protein), Rieske protein presequence, "cyt c1 associated protein", and Rieske-associated protein.

Structure

The MT-CYB gene is located on the p arm of

mitochondrial genome encoded cytochrome b and ten other nucleus encoded subunits. These subunits include three respiratory subunits (MT-CYB, CYC1 and UQCRFS1), two core proteins (UQCRC1 and UQCRC2) and six low-molecular weight proteins (UQCRH/QCR6, UQCRB/QCR7, UQCRQ/QCR8, UQCR10/QCR9, UQCR11/QCR10 and a cleavage product of UQCRFS1). The total molecular mass of the complex is about 450 kDa.[10][9]

Function

The mitochondrial

mitochondrial membrane that is then used for ATP synthesis.[9]

Clinical significance

Mutations in MT-CYB can result in mitochondrial deficiencies and associated disorders. It is majorly associated with a complex III deficiency, a deficiency in an enzyme complex which catalyzes electron transfer from

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, muscle weakness, myoglobinuria, blood acidosis, renal tubulopathy, and more.[9][10] Complex III deficiency is known to be rare among mitochondrial diseases and may follow a maternal or mendelian mode of inheritance due to its duality of genetic origin.[8]
