EC 1.16.1.9 Details
EC number
1.16.1.9
Accepted name
ferric-chelate reductase (NADPH)
Reaction
2 Fe(II)-siderophore + NADP+ + H+ = 2 Fe(III)-siderophore + NADPH
Other name(s)
ferric chelate reductase (ambiguous), iron chelate reductase (ambiguous), NADPH:Fe3+-EDTA reductase, NADPH-dependent ferric reductase, yqjH (gene name), Fe(II):NADP+ oxidoreductase
Systematic name
Fe(II)-siderophore:NADP+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
120720-17-4
Comment
Contains FAD. The enzyme, which is widespread among bacteria, catalyses the reduction of ferric iron bound to a variety of iron chelators (siderophores), including ferric triscatecholates and ferric dicitrate, resulting in the release of ferrous iron. The enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli has the highest efficiency with the hydrolysed ferric enterobactin complex ferric N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-serine [3]. cf. EC 1.16.1.7, ferric-chelate reductase (NADH) and EC 1.16.1.10, ferric-chelate reductase [NAD(P)H].
