General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | SORs can be classified as 1Fe-SORs, or neelaredoxins, or as 2Fe-SORs, or desulfoferrodoxins, according to the number of metal centres. Both share a common active site in which the reduction of superoxide anion occurs. This site is composed of a pentacoordinated iron with four equatorial histidine imidazoles and one axial cysteine sulfur in a square-pyramidal geometry [Fe(Cys)(His)4] | Ignicoccus hospitalis |
physiological function | the neelaredoxin-type SOR keeps toxic oxygen species levels under control. SORs are involved in scavenging superoxide radicals from the cell by catalyzing the reduction of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide | Ignicoccus hospitalis |
