Protein Family Models

This family includes proteins containing domains which bind to iron-sulfur clusters. Members include bacterial ferredoxins, various dehydrogenases, and various reductases. The structure of the domain is an alpha-antiparallel beta sandwich. (from Pfam)

4Fe-4S single cluster domain-containing protein binds iron-sulfur clusters

Date:

2022-10-06

This enzyme [1] is a member of the radical-SAM family (PF04055) and utilizes S-adenosyl methionine, an iron-sulfur cluster and a reductant (dihydroflavodoxin [2]) to produce a glycine-centered radical in the class III (anaerobic) ribonucleotide triphosphate reductase (NrdD, TIGR02487). The two components form an alpha-2/beta-2 heterodimer.
