Abstract

The alpha-helical ferredoxin domain contains two Fe4-S4 clusters, typical of bacterial ferredoxin. Iron-sulphur proteins play an important role in electron transfer processes and in various enzymatic reactions. In eukaryotes, the mitochondria are the major site of Fe-S cluster biosynthesis in the cell, used for the assembly of mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial Fe-S proteins. The alpha-helical ferredoxin domain is present in several proteins involved in redox reactions, including the C-terminal of the respiratory proteins succinate dehydrogenase (SQR) in bacteria/mitochondria, and fumarate reductase (QFR) in bacteria. SQR is analogous to the mitochondrial respiratory complex II, and is involved in the electron transport pathway from succinate as a donor to the acceptor ubiquinone. SQR helps prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species and is used during aerobic respiration, whereas QFR does not and, consequently, is used to catalyse the final step of anaerobic respiration using the acceptor fumarate [PubMed11850430].

The alpha-helical ferredoxin domain is also present in the N-terminal of the cytosolic protein dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, (DPD) which catalyses the NADPH-dependent, rate-limiting step in pyrimidine degradation, converting pyrimidines to 5,6-dihydro compounds [PubMed11796730]. DPD catalysis involves electron transfer from NADPH to the substrate via the Fe4-S4 centre and FAD. In mammals, this pathway produces the neurotransmitter beta-alanine.

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 7 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a alpha-helical ferredoxin domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 7 hidden Markov models representing the alpha-helical ferredoxin superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
