| description | Ferredoxin thioredoxin reductase is a [4FE-4S]protein present in organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis, and plays an important role in the ferredoxin/thioredoxin regulatory chain. It converts an electron signal (photoreduced ferredoxin) to a thiol signal (reduced thioredoxin), regulating enzymes by reduction of specific disulphide groups. It catalyses the light-dependent activation of several photosynthetis enzymes. Ferredoxin thioredoxin reductase is a heterodimer of subunit alpha and subunit beta. Subunit alpha is the variable subunit, and beta is the catalytic chain [].The structure of the beta subunit has been determined and found to fold around the FeS cluster []. |
