rubredoxin:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Requires FAD. The enzyme from Clostridium acetobutylicum reduces rubredoxin, ferricyanide and dichlorophenolindophenol, but not ferredoxin or flavodoxin. The reaction does not occur when NADPH is substituted for NADH. Contains iron at the redox centre.
the enzyme and two rubredoxins form a system indipensable for metabolizing n-alkanes, they constitute an electron transport pathway that shuttles reducing equivalents from carbon metabolism to the membrane-bound alkane hydroxylases AlkB1 and AlkB2
rubredoxin-rubredoxin reductase complex formation, only a small number of direct interactions govern mutual recognition of RdxR and Rdx, corroborating the transient nature of the complex, overview, substrate binding structure and mechanism, the enzyme discriminates between two types of rubredoxins, RubA2 and RubA1, overview

RdxR consists of two cofactor-binding domains and a C-terminal domain essential for the specific recognition of Rdx, crystal structure analysis, dimerization restricts access to the NAD(P)H binding pocket and results in a steric clash between the modeled adenine moiety of NAD(P)H and alpha-helix alpha8' of the neighboring molecule, RdxR dimers form at high protein concentrations used during crystallization, rather than being functionally relevant, overview
