UniProt functional annotation for Q8YQD8

UniProt code: Q8YQD8.

Organism: Nostoc sp. (strain PCC 7120 / SAG 25.82 / UTEX 2576).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Nostocales; Nostocaceae; Nostoc.
 
Function: Mediates electron transfer from NADH to oxygen, reducing it to water. This modular protein has 3 redox cofactors, in other organisms the same activity requires 2 or 3 proteins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Cofactor: Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Note=Binds 2 iron ions per subunit.;
Miscellaneous: By homology with NorV in E.coli, could be involved in nitric oxide detoxification. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: In the N-terminal section; belongs to the zinc metallo- hydrolase group 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the flavodoxin reductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
