UniProt functional annotation for P69054

UniProt code: P69054.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Membrane-anchoring subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH).
 
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Note=The heme is bound between the two transmembrane subunits.;
Pathway: Carbohydrate metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle.
Subunit: Part of an enzyme complex containing four subunits: a flavoprotein, an iron-sulfur protein, plus two membrane-anchoring proteins, SdhC and SdhD. The complex can form homotrimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12560550, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16407191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19710024}.
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Miscellaneous: His-84 provides an axial ligand to heme b556 in the wild-type enzyme. The retention of low spin heme b556 in the SdhC 'Leu- 84' mutant suggests that swapping of the heme axial ligand by His-91 or His-30 is possible.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome b560 family. {ECO:0000305}.
