| Description | This family represents NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase subunit 5, organellar chromatophore 2 (NU5C2 or NdhF2). Proteins in this entry are mainly found in Cyanobacteria. These enzymes are responsible for the following reaction:plastoquinone + H ++ NADPH = plastoquinol + H ++ NADP+ It is restricted to two paralogs in each completed cyanobacterial genome, in which several subtypes of ndhF are found. Included in this family is NdhF3, shown to play a role in high-affinity CO2 uptake in Synechococcus sp. (strain PCC 7002) (Agmenellum quadruplicatum). In all cases, neighbouring genes include a paralog of ndhD but do include other NAD(P)H dehydrogenase subunits. Instead, genes related to C02 uptake tend to be found nearby [ ].In the amoeba Paulinella chromatophora, which carries an endosymbiotic cyanobacterium, more than 30 cyanobacterial genes have moved to its cell nucleus [ ]. | Name | NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase subunit 5, organellar chromatophore 2 |
