Plant type ferredoxins and ferredoxin‐dependent metabolism [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2013
Ferredoxin (Fd) are small [Fe‐S] cluster containing proteins, which act as the first soluble acceptors of electrons on the stromal side of the chloroplast electron transport chain. In addition to their primary function in photosynthesis, Fds are also involved in a number of other essential metabolic reactions, including biosynthesis of chlorophyll ...

Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and low abundant ferredoxins support aerobic photomixotrophic growth in cyanobacteria

eLife, 2022
The decarboxylation of pyruvate is a central reaction in the carbon metabolism of all organisms. It is catalyzed by the pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) and the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex.

Bioinformatic approach for the identification of plant species that accumulate palmitoleic acid

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Palmitoleic acid is a fatty acid that possesses nutritional, health, and industrial applications. However, it accumulates in the seed oil of few plant species that often lack agronomic value.

The interaction of ferredoxin‐linked sulfite reductase with ferredoxin [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1987
Spinach sulfite reductase has been shown to co‐migrate during gel filtration chromatography at low ionic strength with spinach ferredoxin. No co‐migration was observed at high ionic strength. These results indicate that the two proteins form a high‐affinity, electrostatically stabilized complex, as had previously been demonstrated for three other ...

Structural Insights into a Fusion Protein between a Glutaredoxin-like and a Ferredoxin-Disulfide Reductase Domain from an Extremophile Bacterium

Inorganics, 2022
In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, ferredoxin–thioredoxin reductases (FTRs) are key proteins reducing several types of chloroplastic thioredoxins (TRXs) in light conditions.

A bacteria-specific 2[4Fe-4S] ferredoxin is essential in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Ferredoxins are small iron-sulfur proteins belonging to all domains of life. A sub-group binds two [4Fe-4S] clusters with unequal and extremely low values of the reduction potentials.

Quantitative proteomic analysis to reveal expression differences for butanol production from glycerol and glucose by Clostridium sp. strain CT7

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Clostridium sp. strain CT7 is a new emerging microbial cell factory with high butanol production ratio owing to its non-traditional butanol fermentation mode with uncoupled acetone and 1,3-propanediol formation.

FdC1 and Leaf-Type Ferredoxins Channel Electrons From Photosystem I to Different Downstream Electron Acceptors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant-type ferredoxins in Arabidopsis transfer electrons from the photosystem I to multiple redox-driven enzymes involved in the assimilation of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Fantastic [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Where to Find Them

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
[FeFe]-hydrogenases are complex metalloenzymes, key to microbial energy metabolism in numerous organisms. During anaerobic metabolism, they dissipate excess reducing equivalents by using protons from water as terminal electron acceptors, leading to ...
