Protein Domain : Fumarate reductase, flavoprotein subunit IPR005884

Type  Family
Description  In bacteria two distinct, membrane-bound, enzyme complexes are responsible for the interconversion of fumarate and succinate ( ): fumaratereductase (Frd) is used in anaerobic growth, and succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) is used in aerobic growth. Both complexes consist of two main components: amembrane-extrinsic component composed of a FAD-binding flavoprotein and an iron-sulphur protein; and an hydrophobic component composed of a membraneanchor protein and/or a cytochrome B. In eukaryotes mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) ( ) is an enzyme composed of two subunits: a FAD flavoprotein and and iron-sulphurprotein. The flavoprotein subunit is a protein of about 60 to 70 Kd to which FAD is covalently bound to a histidine residue which is located in the N-terminalsection of the protein [ ]. The sequence around that histidine is well conserved in Frd and Sdh from various bacterial and eukaryotic species [].The terms succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase may be used interchangeably in certain systems. However, a number of species have distinct complexes, with the fumarate reductase active under anaerobic conditions. This model represents the fumarate reductase flavoprotein subunit from several such species in which a distinct succinate dehydrogenase is also found.
