Type: | Binding_site | Name: | Adrenodoxin, iron-sulphur binding site |
Description: | Adrenodoxin, putidaredoxin and terpredoxin are soluble 2Fe-2S iron-sulphur proteins that act as single electron carriers. They are a subgroup of the ferredoxinfamily of iron-sulphur proteins. In mitochondrial monooxygenase systems, adrenodoxin transfers an electron fromNADPH:adrenodoxin reductase to membrane-bound P450. In bacteria, putidaredoxin and terpredoxin serve as electron carriers between corresponding NADH-dependent ferredoxinreductases and soluble P450 [, ]. The exact functions of other membersof this family are not known.In these proteins, four cysteine residues bind the iron-sulphur cluster. The patterns in this entry identifies three of these cysteines, which are involved in Fe-S binding. | Short Name: | Adrenodoxin_Fe-S_BS |
