Ferredoxin containing bacteriocins suggest a novel mechanism of iron uptake in Pectobacterium spp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In order to kill competing strains of the same or closely related bacterial species, many bacteria produce potent narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics known as bacteriocins. Two sequenced strains of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum

Purification and structural characterization of the Na+-translocating ferredoxin: NAD+ reductase (Rnf) complex of Clostridium tetanomorphum [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Rnf reversibly reduces NAD+ by ferredoxin coupled with Na+/H+ pumping for microbial ion gradient or reduced ferredoxin formation. Here, a cryo-EM structure provides information about the participating iron and flavin cofactors, the electron transfer ...

Salutary Effects of Overexpression of Rsm22, an Assembly Factor for the Mitochondrial Ribosome, on Frataxin/Yfh1 Depletion Phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
BiomoleculesFrataxin is a component of the iron–sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly complex in mitochondria, and deficiency is associated with Friedreich ataxia (FA). The yeast homolog Yfh1 resembles and cross-complements with its human equivalent, and frataxin bypass ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Flavin-based electron bifurcation is a newly discovered mechanism, by which a hydride electron pair from NAD(P)H, coenzyme F420H2, H2, or formate is split by flavoproteins into one-electron with a more negative reduction potential and one with a more ...

Ferredoxin Gene Mutation in Iranian Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2013 Background: Trichomonas vaginalis causes trichomoniasis and metronidazole is its chosen drug for treatment. Ferredoxin has role in electron transport and carbohydrate metabolism and the conversion of an inactive form of metronidazole (CO) to its active ...

mBioNitrogenases are the only enzymes able to fix gaseous nitrogen into bioavailable ammonia and hence are essential for sustaining life. Catalysis by nitrogenases requires both a large amount of ATP and electrons donated by strongly reducing ferredoxins or ...

Effect of Artemisinin on the Redox System of NADPH/FNR/Ferredoxin from Malaria Parasites
Antioxidants, 2022 FNR and ferredoxin constitute a redox cascade, which provides reducing power in the plastid of malaria parasites. Recently, mutation of ferredoxin (D97Y) was reported to be strongly related to the parasite’s resistance to the front-line antimalarial drug

mBio, 2023 Nitrogenase is the key enzyme involved in nitrogen fixation and uses low potential electrons delivered by ferredoxin (Fd) or flavodoxin (Fld) to reduce dinitrogen gas (N2) to produce ammonia, generating hydrogen gas (H2) as an obligate product of this ...
