UniProt functional annotation for P80306

UniProt code: P80306.

Organism: Rhodobacter capsulatus (Rhodopseudomonas capsulata).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhodobacterales; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacter.
 
Function: Ferredoxins are small electron carrier proteins that participate in various redox reactions. FdVI is an essential protein required for growth of R.capsulatus. May be involved in Fe-S cluster assembly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9150228, ECO:0000303|PubMed:16402206}.
 
Cofactor: Name=[2Fe-2S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49601; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11173487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16402206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8026503}; Note=Binds 1 [2Fe-2S] cluster. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11173487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16402206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8026503};
Induction: Seems to be constitutively expressed. Is expressed at a similar level under N-limited and N-sufficient conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9150228}.
Disruption phenotype: Disruption of this gene is lethal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9150228}.
