Function
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides[1]. There are 3 classes of RNR.
- Class I RNR is a tetramer composed from large (RNR1) and small (RNR2) subunits. Class I RNR is iron-dependent and produces tyrosyl radical. Thimidine triphosphate (TTP) is an effector in the reaction.
- Class II RNR reduces ribonucleotide triphosphates using coenzyme B12.
- Class III RNR generate glycine radical using S-adenosyl methionine and Fe-S center.
For details on human RNR2 see P53R2.
For mouse RNR see Mouse Ribonucleotide Reductase R2.
For RNR small subunit with nitrotyrosine modification see Nitrotyrosine.
