Ferredoxin

From Proteopedia

Revision as of 10:05, 14 June 2011

Ferredoxin (Fd) is found in chloroplasts which mediates electron transfer and contains an iron-sulfur cluster. It is involved in the photosynthesis process where its iron atoms accept or discharge electrons when they are being oxidized or reduced. The iron-sulfur cluster can contain 2Fe-2S and is termed plant-like or 3Fe-4S or 4Fe-4S clusters (e.g. 4Fe-4S Thermotoga maritima 1vjw to the right). Adrenodoxin (ADR) is a ferredoxin containing a 2Fe-2S group involved in electron transfer from NADPH+ to a cytochrome P-450 in the adrenal gland. Putidaredoxin (PUT) and terpredoxin (TER) are involved in the same reaction in bacteria and contain a 2Fe-2S group.

Fd is short for ferredoxin. Two forms of D14C [3Fe-4S] Pyrococcus furiosus ferredoxin are obtained when purified at pH 8.0: a monomer and a dimer connected by an intermolecular disulfide bond (see static image at the left). When purified at pH 5.8, only the monomer is obtained. The [3Fe-4S] form diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and showed only the .
