| Description | This entry represents the flavin-binding domain superfamily of flavocytochrome c sulphide dehydrogenase (FCSD), enzymes found in sulphur-oxidising bacteria such as the purple phototrophic bacteria Chromatium vinosum [ , ]. These enzymes are complexes of flavoprotein and a dihaem cytochrome that carry out hydrogen sulphide-dependent cytochrome C reduction. The dihaem cytochrome folds into two domains, each of which resembles mitochondrial cytochrome c, with the two haem groups bound to the interior of the subunit. The flavoprotein subunit has a glutathione reductase-like fold consisting of a beta(3,4)-alpha(3) core, and an alpha+beta sandwich. The active site of the flavoprotein subunit contains a catalytically important disulphide bridge located above the pyrimidine portion of the flavin ring []. Electrons are transferred from the flavin to one of the haem groups in the cytochrome. This entry represents a flavoprotein domain required for binding to flavin, and subsequent electron transfer. |
