EC 1.8.98.5 Details
EC number
1.8.98.5
Accepted name
H2:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide,ferredoxin reductase
Reaction
2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + CoB + CoM + 2 H+ = 2 H2 + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + CoM-S-S-CoB
Systematic name
CoB,CoM,ferredoxin:H2 oxidoreductase
Comment
This enzyme complex is found in H2-oxidizing CO2-reducing methanogenic archaea such as Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus. It consists of a cytoplasmic complex of HdrABC reductase and MvhAGD hydrogenase. Electron pairs donated by the hydrogenase are transferred via its δ subunit to the HdrA subunit of the reductase, where they are bifurcated, reducing both ferredoxin and CoB-CoM heterodisulfide. The reductase can also form a similar complex with formate dehydrogenase, see EC 1.8.98.6, formate:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide,ferredoxin reductase. cf. EC 1.8.7.3, ferredoxin:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide reductase, EC 1.8.98.4, coenzyme F420:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide,ferredoxin reductase, and EC 1.8.98.1, dihydromethanophenazine:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide reductase.
