Inorganics, 2022 Iron–sulfur clusters (Fe–S or ISC) are essential cofactors that function in a wide range of biological pathways. In mammalian cells, Fe–S biosynthesis primarily relies on mitochondria and involves a concerted group of evolutionary-conserved proteins ...

Steroidogenic electron-transfer factors and their diseases [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2021 Most steroidogenesis disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding the steroidogenic enzymes, but work in the past 20 years has identified related disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding the cofactors that transport electrons from NADPH

A molecular perspective on the limits of life: Enzymes under pressure [PDF]
, 2016 From a purely operational standpoint, the existence of microbes that can grow under extreme conditions, or "extremophiles", leads to the question of how the molecules making up these microbes can maintain both their structure and function. While microbes

Mechanism of cyanobacterial ferredoxin-dependent flavin thioredoxin reductase reveals thiolate-FAD charge transfer and catalytic asymmetry in a homodimer. [PDF]
FEBS JFerredoxin‐dependent flavin thioredoxin reductases (FFTRs) regenerate reduced thioredoxin, sustaining dithiol–disulfide exchange reactions that regulate protein activity in select organisms. In cyanobacterial FFTRs, we describe the formation of a thiolate–flavin charge transfer complex, asynchronous reduction of the two FAD cofactors within the ...

The NADPH-Dependent thioredoxin reductase C-2-Cys peroxiredoxin redox system modulates the activity of thioredoxin x in arabidopsis chloroplasts [PDF]
, 2018 The chloroplast redox network is composed of a complex set of thioredoxins (Trxs), reduced by ferredoxin (Fdx) via a Fdx-dependent Trx reductase (FTR), and an NADPH-dependent Trx reductase with a joint Trx domain, NTRC, which efficiently reduces 2-Cys ...

Ferredoxin from Bacillus polymyxa
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1971 A ferredoxin has been purified from Bacillus polymyxa, strain Hino, a facultative N2-fixing organism. Optical and electron spin resonance spectra of the ferredoxin have been recorded, and its molecular weight is approximately 9,000. The ferredoxin is reduced reversibly by H2 in the presence of hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum or B.
