Description

Enzyme

Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FRN), also called ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase, is a flavoprotein which can be mainly found in chloroplasts, mitochondria and bacteria. In plants, this cellular component is an hydrophilic protein of about 35 kDa and binds to the stromal surface of the thylakoid membrane.

This protein is involved in the last step of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Indeed, ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the electron transfer between the electron carrier protein ferredoxin (Fd) and NADP(H).

Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase of spinach has two structural domains :

  • The first domain, at the N-ter of the protein, is an antiparallel beta barrel that contains the binding site for the FAD cofactor [1].
  • The second domain, at the C-ter of the protein, contains an alpha-helix-beta strand fold [1]. This terminal domain is where the NADP+ binds [2].

The interface between these two domains is actually the active site of the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase.
