Abstract excerpt
2-Oxoacid:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (OFOR) catalyzes the coenzyme A-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids, at an analogous metabolic position to 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase multienzyme complex. The enzyme from Sulfolobus sp. strain 7, a thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon, is a heterodimer comprising two subunits, a (632 amino acids) and b (305 amino acids). In contrast to other OFORs, the Sulfolobus enzyme...
