| Type: | Family | Name: | Electron transport complex, RsxE |
| Description: | The six-subunit complex RnfABCDGE in Rhodobacter capsulatus(Rhodopseudomonas capsulata) encodes an apparent NADH oxidoreductase responsible for electron transport to nitrogenase, necessary for nitrogen fixation []. A closely related complex in Escherichia coli, RsxABCDGE (Reducer of SoxR), reduces the 2Fe-2S-containing superoxide sensor SoxR, active as a transcription factor when oxidized []. This family of putative NADH oxidoreductase complexes exists in many of the same species as the related NQR, a Na(+)-translocating NADH-quinone reductase, but is distinct. This entry describes the E subunit. | Short Name: | RsxE |
