EC 1.18.1.4 Details
EC number
1.18.1.4
Accepted name
rubredoxin—NAD(P)+ reductase
Reaction
2 reduced rubredoxin + NAD(P)+ + H+ = 2 oxidized rubredoxin + NAD(P)H
Other name(s)
rubredoxin-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) reductase,
rubredoxin-nicotinamide adenine,
dinucleotide phosphate reductase,
NAD(P)+-rubredoxin oxidoreductase,
NAD(P)H-rubredoxin oxidoreductase
Systematic name
rubredoxin:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
80237-97-4
Comment
The enzyme from Pyrococcus furiosus requires FAD. It reduces a number of electron carriers, including benzyl viologen, menadione and 2,6-dichloroindophenol, but rubredoxin is the most efficient. Ferredoxin is not utilized.
