| UniProt functional annotation for K7N5M0 | |||
| UniProt code: K7N5M0. |
| Organism: | Blastochloris viridis (Rhodopseudomonas viridis). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Hyphomicrobiaceae; Blastochloris. | |
| Function: | Iron-storage protein. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000623}. | |
| Function: | Iron-storage protein, whose ferroxidase center binds Fe(2+) ions, oxidizes them by dioxygen to Fe(3+), and participates in the subsequent Fe(3+) oxide mineral core formation within the central cavity of the protein complex. {ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=4 Fe(2+) + 4 H(+) + O2 = 4 Fe(3+) + 2 H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11148, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:29034; EC=1.16.3.1; Evidence={ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=heme b; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60344; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00001970}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the bacterioferritin family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00008093, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000623}. | |
