NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase-G iron-sulfur binding region
NADH-G_4Fe-4S_3
SMART accession number:SM00929
Description: -
Interpro abstract (IPR019574):

This entry describes the G subunit (one of 14 subunits, A to N) of the NADH-quinone oxidoreductase complex I which generally couples NADH and ubiquinone oxidation/reduction in bacteria and mammalian mitochondria while translocating protons, but may act on NADPH and/or plastoquinone in cyanobacteria and plant chloroplasts. This family does not contain related subunits from formate dehydrogenase complexes.

This entry represents the iron-sulphur binding domain of the G subunit. This domain consists of just two alpha helices separated by a loop region that coordinates a [4Fe-4S] cluster through an unusual H-x(3)-C-x(2)-C-x(5)-C motif that includes one His and three Cys residues [ (PUBMED:9756865) (PUBMED:10694885) (PUBMED:18603533) ].

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) ( EC 1.6.5.3 ) is a respiratory-chain enzyme that catalyses the transfer of two electrons from NADH to ubiquinone in a reaction that is associated with proton translocation across the membrane (NADH + ubiquinone = NAD+ + ubiquinol) [ (PUBMED:1470679) ]. Complex I is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are predominantly formed by electron transfer from FMNH(2). Complex I is found in bacteria, cyanobacteria (as a NADH-plastoquinone oxidoreductase), archaea [ (PUBMED:10940377) ], mitochondria, and in the hydrogenosome, a mitochondria-derived organelle. In general, the bacterial complex consists of 14 different subunits, while the mitochondrial complex contains homologues to these subunits in addition to approximately 31 additional proteins [ (PUBMED:18394423) ].
