A flavoprotein (FAD). This activity occurs in some prokaryotes and algae that possess flavodoxin, and provides low-potential electrons for a variety of reactions such as nitrogen fixation, sulfur assimilation and amino acid biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms it is involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The enzyme also catalyses EC 1.18.1.2, ferredoxin---NADP+ reductase.

flavodoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase
A flavoprotein (FAD). This activity occurs in some prokaryotes and algae that possess flavodoxin, and provides low-potential electrons for a variety of reactions such as nitrogen fixation, sulfur assimilation and amino acid biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms it is involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The enzyme also catalyses EC 1.18.1.2, ferredoxin---NADP+ reductase.
the enzyme reduces flavodoxin I, flavodoxin II and ferredoxin, ferredoxin being the kinetically and thermodynamically preferred partner, i.e. reaction of EC 1.18.2.1. Flavodoxin I and flavodoxin II behave similarly with respect to FNR, with affinities about 4- to 7fold weaker and reduction rates that are 10- to 100fold slower than those for ferredoxin. Flavodoxin I and flavodoxin II can obtain electrons from reduced Fd at rates that are comparable to those obtained with reduced FNR
substrate flavodoxin is more structured when the FMN cofactor is bound. Holo-flavodoxin is capable of associating with NADP+-dependent flavodoxin oxidoreductase, whereas there is no detectable interaction between apo-flavodoxin and the protein
the electron-transfer route is NADPH to FLDR to flavodoxin. The midpoint reduction potentials of the oxidized/semiquinone and semiquinone/hydroquinone couples of FLDR are 2308 mV and 2268 mV, respectively. Binding of 2'-adenosine monophosphate increases the midpoint reduction potentials for both FLDR couples

Escherichia coli cells deficient in the soxRS-induced ferredoxin (flavodoxin)-NADP(H) reductase FPR, display abnormal sensitivity to methyl viologen. Neither bacteriostatic effects nor inactivation of oxidant-sensitive hydrolyases can be detected in mutant cells exposed to methyl viologen. FPR inactivation does not affect the methyl viologen-driven soxRS response, FPR overexpression leads to enhanced stimulation of the regulon, with concomitant oxidation of the NADPH pool. Accumulation of a site-directed FPR mutant that uses NAD(H) instead of NADP(H) has no effect on soxRS induction and fails to protect FPR deficient cells from methyl viologen toxicity

CRYSTALLIZATION (Commentary)
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
molecular modelling indicates that movement of the C-terminal tryptophan (W248) is necessary to permit close approach of the nicotinamide ring of NADPH to the flavin. Residues R174 and R184 are located close to the adenosine ribose 2'-phosphate group, and R144 is likely to interact with the nicotinamide ribose 5'-phosphate group
mutant uses NAD(H) instead of NADP(H), expression of the mutant has no effect on soxRS induction and fails to protect FPR deficient cells from methyl viologen toxicity
FNR reduced in the presence of NADPH is slowly inactivated under all conditions. Reactivity towards flavodoxin is lost most rapidly (kinact of 0.031 per min) with less than 10% of the original activity remaining after 30 min, reactivity towards ferredoxin is not as rapidly affected (kinact of 0.0065 per min) with 80% of the original activity remaining after 30 min
