Type: | Family | Name: | DMSO reductase family, type II, haem b-binding subunit |
Description: | The DMSO reductase family is a large and rapidly expanding group of enzymes found in bacteria and archaea that share a common form of molybdenum cofactor known as bis(molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide)Mo []. This entry represents a haem b-binding subunit, typically called the gamma subunit, found in various type II DMSO reductase family enzymes that, in addition to the molybdopterin subunit also contain an iron-sulphur subunit. These include two distinct but very closely related periplasmic proteins of anaerobic respiration: selenate reductase and chlorate reductase []. Other proteins containing this subunit include dimethyl sulphide dehydrogenase and ethylbenzene dehydrogenase [, , ]. | Short Name: | DMSO_Rdtase_II_haem_b-bd_su |
