| SMART ACC: | SM000887 |
| Description: | Eythylbenzene dehydrogenase is a heterotrimer of three subunits that catalyses the anaerobic degradation of hydrocarbons. The alpha subunit contains the catalytic centre as a Molybdenum cofactor-complex. This removes an electron-pair from the hydrocarbon and passes it along an electron transport system involving iron-sulphur complexes held in the beta subunit and a Haem b molecule contained in the gamma subunit. The electron-pair is then subsequently passed to an as yet unknown receiver. The enzyme is found in a variety of different bacteria. |

| InterPro abstract: | This entry represents a haem-binding domain found in cytochromes b558/566 (subunit A), c-551 and c-552, as well as in members of the type-II members of the microbial dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) reductase family. The DMSO reductase family is a large and rapidly expanding group of enzymes found in bacteria and archaea that share a common form of molybdenum cofactor known as bis(molybdopterin … expand |
