[NiFe] Group 3d-hydrogenase

This entry was last updated at: Feb. 9, 2018, 6:37 a.m.

Properties

Group	[NiFe] Group 3: Cofactor-coupled bidirectional [NiFe] hydrogenases
Subgroup	[NiFe] Group 3d: NAD-coupled
Function	Generates reductant for hydrogenotrophic carbon-fixation by directly coupling oxidation of H₂ to reduction of NAD. Also acts in reverse direction to catalyse fermentative NADH-dependent production of H₂. Electrons flow between H₂-activating hydrogenase subunits to NAD-activating diaphorase subunits.
Activity	Bidirectional
Oxygen tolerance	O₂-tolerant
Localisation	Cytosolic

Distribution

Ecosystem distribution	Diverse soil and aquatic environments
Taxonomic distribution	Encoded in diverse Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria

Genetic Organisation
