Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2021 Dihydroorotate:quinone oxidoreductases (DHOQOs) are membrane bound enzymes responsible for oxidizing dihydroorotate (DHO) to orotate with concomitant reduction of quinone to quinol. They have FMN as prosthetic group and are part of the monotopic quinone reductase superfamily.

Catalytic Importance of Acidic Amino Acids on Subunit NuoB of the Escherichia coli NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase (Complex I) [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from Escherichia coli is composed of 13 subunits called NuoA through NuoN and contains one FMN and 9 iron-sulfur clusters as redox groups. Electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone is coupled with the translocation of protons across the membrane by a yet unknown mechanism.

Unique amino acids cluster for switching from the dehydrogenase to oxidase form of xanthine oxidoreductase [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 In mammals, xanthine oxidoreductase is synthesized as a dehydrogenase (XDH) but can be readily converted to its oxidase form (XO) either by proteolysis or modification of cysteine residues. The crystal structures of bovine milk XDH and XO demonstrated that atoms in the highly charged active-site loop (Gln-423–Lys-433) around the FAD ...

Identification and Amino Acid Sequences of Tryptic Peptides of a Novel Ferredoxin-NADP+ Oxidoreductase from Rice [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1996 A 37-kDa protein purified from rice thylakoid membranes has been identified as a ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase based on its catalysis of the reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium via NADPH and its recognition by antibodies against ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase.

FAD/NADH Dependent Oxidoreductases: From Different Amino Acid Sequences to Similar Protein Shapes for Playing an Ancient Function [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019 Flavoprotein oxidoreductases are members of a large protein family of specialized dehydrogenases, which include type II NADH dehydrogenase, pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductases, ferredoxin-NAD+ reductases, NADH oxidases, and NADH peroxidases, playing a crucial role in the metabolism of several prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
