| UniProt functional annotation for Q8GC87 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8GC87. |
| Organism: | Desulfovibrio gigas (strain ATCC 19364 / DSM 1382 / NCIMB 9332 / VKM B-1759). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Desulfovibrionales; Desulfovibrionaceae; Desulfovibrio. | |
| Function: | Beta chain of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) catalyzes the reversible two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. FDH loses activity in the presence of air, but this activity can be restored. This chain is an electron transfer unit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587462, ECO:0000269|Ref.3}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=[4Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49883; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11372198}; Note=Binds 3 [4Fe-4S] clusters. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11372198}; | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer of alpha (FdhA) and beta (FdhB) subunits. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11372198, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12220497, ECO:0000269|Ref.2}. | |
