Ferredoxin-nitrite reductase
Definition:
EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.7 Acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors > 1.7.7 With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor > 1.7.7.1 ferredoxin-nitrite reductase
Ferredoxin-nitrite reductase is an iron protein containing siroheme and a [4Fe-4S] cluster that carries out the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia, using six molecules of reduced ferredoxin as electron donor. It is found across eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea and is a key enzyme of nitrate and nitrite assimilation.
