Identification
Name:Formate dehydrogenase, nitrate-inducible, iron-sulfur subunit
Synonyms:
  • Anaerobic formate dehydrogenase iron-sulfur subunit
  • Formate dehydrogenase-N subunit beta
  • FDH-N subunit beta
Gene Name:fdnH
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in electron carrier activity
Specific Function:Formate dehydrogenase allows E.coli to use formate as major electron donor during anaerobic respiration, when nitrate is used as electron acceptor. The beta chain is an electron transfer unit containing 4 cysteine clusters involved in the formation of iron-sulfur centers. Electrons are transferred from the gamma chain to the molybdenum cofactor of the alpha subunit
Cellular Location:Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein
