Protein Domain : Nitrogen fixation protein NifW

Primary Identifier  IPR004893 Type  Family
Short Name  NifW
description  Nitrogenase is a complex metalloenzyme composed of two proteins designated the Fe-protein and the MoFe-protein. Apart fromthese twoproteins, a number of accessory proteins are essential for the maturation and assembly of nitrogenase. Even thoughexperimental evidence suggests that these accessory proteins are required for nitrogenase activity, the exact roles played by many ofthese proteins in the functions of nitrogenase are unclear []. Using yeast two-hybrid screening it has been shown that NifW caninteract with itself as well as NifZ.
