Cytochrome c maturation (CCM) is the process of covalent attachment of a heme group to the conserved cysteines to form the holocytochrome. Here, the authors report that the non-adaptive convergent evolution at the pathway level leads to mosaic distribution of CCM systems I and III among Archaeplastida species.
