Subunits | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
homodimer | QFR is a homodimer, each protomer comprising two hydrophilic subunits, A and B, and one transmembrane subunit C, together with six redox cofactors including two b-hemes. One menaquinone molecule is bound near heme bL in the hydrophobic subunit C. Two heterotrimeric complexes, each comprising subunits A, B and C, form one stable homodimer (A2B2C2) with major contacts between two C subunit. The formation of the homo-dimer, (A2B2C2), arises from contact of the two C subunits | Megalodesulfovibrio gigas |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | one menaquinone molecule is bound near heme bL in the hydrophobic subunit C. This location of the menaquinone-binding site differs from the menaquinol-binding cavity proposed previously for QFR from Wolinella succinogenes. The observed bound menaquinone might serve as an additional redox cofactor to mediate the proton-coupled electron transport across the membrane | Megalodesulfovibrio gigas |
metabolism | QFR catalyzes the coupled reduction of fumarate to succinate with the oxidation of hydroquinone (quinol) to quinone on opposite sides of the inner cytoplasmic membrane. The reverse reaction, namely, the coupled oxidation of succinate to fumarate with the reduction of quinone to quinol, is catalyzed by the well-studied succinate:quinone reductase (SQR, EC 1.3.5.1), often referred to as complex II in the respiratory electron-transport chain of aerobic organisms | Megalodesulfovibrio gigas |
additional information | quinol:fumarate reductase (QFR) is an integral membrane protein with three subunits: a flavoprotein (subunit A), an iron-sulphur protein (subunit B), and a membrane-embedded subunit (subunit C) | Megalodesulfovibrio gigas |
physiological function | the membrane-embedded quinol:fumarate reductase (QFR) in anaerobic bacteria catalyzes the reduction of fumarate to succinate by quinol in the anaerobic respiratory chain | Megalodesulfovibrio gigas |
