FunFam 26153: Nitrogenase iron protein 2

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Nitrogenase. [EC: 1.18.6.1]
8 reduced ferredoxin + 8 H(+) + N(2) + 16 ATP + 16 H(2)O = 8 oxidized ferredoxin + H(2) + 2 NH(3) + 16 ADP + 16 phosphate.
  • Composed of two proteins that can be separated but are both required for nitrogenase activity.
  • Dinitrogen reductase is a [4Fe-4S] protein, which, with two molecules of ATP and ferredoxin, generates an electron.
  • The electron is transferred to the other protein, dinitrogenase (molybdoferredoxin).
  • Dinitrogenase is a molybdenum-iron protein that reduces dinitrogen in three succesive two-electron reductions from nitrogen to diimine to hydrazine to two molecules of ammonia; the molybdenum may be replaced by vanadium or iron.
  • The reduction is initiated by formation of hydrogen in stoichiometric amounts.
  • Acetylene is reduced to ethylene (but only very slowly to ethane), azide to nitrogen and ammonia, and cyanide to methane and ammonia.
  • In the absence of a suitable substrate, hydrogen is slowly formed.
  • Ferredoxin may be replaced by flavodoxin (see EC 1.19.6.1).
  • Formerly EC 1.18.2.1.

Histidine kinase. [EC: 2.7.13.3]
ATP + protein L-histidine = ADP + protein N-phospho-L-histidine.
  • This entry has been included to accommodate those protein-histidine kinases for which the phosphorylation site has not been established (i.e. either the pros- or tele-nitrogen of histidine).
  • A number of histones can act as acceptor.
