Fumarate reductase subunit D

UniProtKB accession:  P0A8Q3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Two distinct, membrane-bound, FAD-containing enzymes are responsible for the catalysis of fumarate and succinate interconversion; fumarate reductase is used in anaerobic growth, and succinate dehydrogenase is used in aerobic growth. Anchors the catalytic components of the fumarate reductase complex to the cell inner membrane, binds quinones (PubMed:10373108). The QFR enzyme complex binds 2 quinones in or near the membrane; 1 near the [3Fe-4S] cluster (QP is proximal to the [3Fe-4S] cluster, on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane) while QD (the distal cluster) is on the other side of the membrane. It is not clear if both of the quinol-binding sites are functionally relevant (PubMed:10373108, PubMed:11850430).
