Cytochrome c[sub 1] is a subunit of the cytochrome bc[sub 1] complex (Complex III) of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. Complex III, which mediates electron transfer for ubiquinol to cytochrome c, consists of 10-11 subunits:core proteins I and II, cytochromes b and c[sub 1], the Rieske iron-sulfur protein, the ubiquinone-binding protein, the hinge protein, and 3-4 subunits of low molecular weight. The human ubiquinone-binding protein and the cytochrome c[sub 1] subunit have both been assigned to human chromosome 8 by somatic cell hybrid mapping. In this study, the authors used in situ hybridization to confirm the localization of the cytochrome c[sub 1] gene to chromosome 8 and to assign it regionally to q24.3. 8 refs., 1 fig.
