Description | Flavodoxins are electron-transfer proteins that function in various electron transport systems. Flavodoxins bind one FMN molecule, which serves as a redox-active prosthetic group [ ] and are functionally interchangeable with ferredoxins. They have been isolated from prokaryotes, cyanobacteria, and some eukaryotic algae.This entry represents a conserved site, indicative of the N-terminal region of Flavodoxin proteins that spans an FMN-binding site [ ].This conserved site is also found in Protoporphyrinogen IX dehydrogenase (quinone), encoded by the gene hemG in gamma-proteobacteria. Protoporphyrinogen IX dehydrogenase (quinone) is a member of a class of the long chain flavodoxin family, and was found to show protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity [ ]. | Name | Flavodoxin, conserved site |
