| Primary Identifier | IPR011887 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | TorA |
| description | This very narrowly defined family represents trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) reductase TorA. TorA typically is located in the periplasm, has a Tat (twin-arginine translocation)-dependent signal sequence, and is encoded in a torCAD operon. TorA reduces TMAO into trimethylamine; an anaerobic reaction coupled to energy-yielding reactions [, ]. The torC gene, located upstream from torA encodes a pentahemic c-type cytochrome, likely to be involved in electron transfer to the TorA terminal reductase []. |
