The nitrogenase enzyme system catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia. This group contains both alpha and beta subunits of component 1 of the three known genetically distinct types of nitrogenase systems: a molybdenum-dependent nitrogenase (Mo-nitrogenase), a vanadium-dependent nitrogenase (V-nitrogenase), and an iron-only nitrogenase (Fe-nitrogenase) and, both subunits of Protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase and chlorophyllide (chlide) reductase. The nitrogenase systems consist of component 1 (MoFe protein, VFe protein or, FeFe protein respectively) and, component 2 (Fe protein). The most widespread and best characterized nitrogenase is the Mo-nitrogenase. MoFe is an alpha2beta2 tetramer, the alternative nitrogenases are alpha2beta2delta2 hexamers whose alpha and beta subunits are similar to the alpha and beta subunits of MoFe. For MoFe, each alphabeta pair contains one P-cluster (at the alphabeta interface) and, one molecule of iron molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) contained within the alpha subunit. The Fe protein contains a single [4Fe-4S] cluster from which, electrons are transferred to the P-cluster of the MoFe and in turn, to FeMoCo at the site of substrate reduction. The V-nitrogenase requires an iron-vanadium cofactor (FeVco), the iron only-nitrogenase an iron only cofactor (FeFeco). These cofactors are analogous to the FeMoco. The V-nitrogenase has P clusters identical to those of MoFe. Pchlide reductase and chlide reductase participate in the Mg-branch of the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway. Pchlide reductase catalyzes the reduction of the D-ring of Pchlide during the synthesis of chlorophylls (Chl) and bacteriochlorophylls (BChl). Chlide-a reductase catalyzes the reduction of the B-ring of Chlide-a during the synthesis of BChl-a. The Pchlide reductase NB complex is a an N2B2 heterotetramer resembling nitrogenase FeMo, N and B proteins are homologous to the FeMo alpha and beta subunits respectively. The NB complex may serve as a catalytic site for Pchlide reduction and, the ZY complex as a site of chlide reduction, similar to MoFe for nitrogen reduction.

A distinct clade in a phylogenetic tree contains molybdenum-iron, vanadium-iron, and iron-iron forms of nitrogenase beta subunit and is excluded from this model. Nitrogenase, also called dinitrogenase, is responsible for nitrogen fixation. Note: the trusted cutoff score has recently been lowered to include an additional family in which the beta subunit is shorter by about 50 amino acids at the N-terminus. In species with the shorter form of the beta subunit, the alpha subunit has a novel insert of similar length. [Central intermediary metabolism, Nitrogen fixation]

if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
click on the bars or triangles to view your query sequence embedded in a multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
The table lists conserved domains identified on the query sequence. Click on the plus sign (+) on the left to display full descriptions, alignments, and scores.
Click on the domain model's accession number to view the multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
To view your query sequence embedded in that multiple sequence alignment, click on the colored bars in the Graphical Summary portion of the search results page,
or click on the triangles, if present, that represent functional sites (conserved features)
mapped to the query sequence.
Concise Display shows only the best scoring domain model, in each hit category listed below except non-specific hits, for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Standard Display shows only the best scoring domain model from each source, in each hit category listed below for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
Retrieve proteins that contain one or more of the domains present in the query sequence, using the Conserved Domain Architecture Retrieval Tool
(CDART).
Modify your query to search against a different database and/or use advanced search options
