IPR000049

Description

IPR000049 is a Electron transfer flavoprotein, beta-subunit, conserved site.

<p>The electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) [[cite:PUB00004936], [cite:PUB00005086]] serves as a specific electron acceptor for various mitochondrial dehydrogenases. ETF transfers electrons to the main respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. ETF is an heterodimer that consist of an alpha and a beta subunit and which bind one molecule of FAD per dimer. A similar system also exists in some bacteria. The beta subunit of ETF is a protein of about 28 Kd which is structurally related to the bacterial nitrogen fixation protein fixA which could play a role in a redox process and feed electrons to ferredoxin. The beta subunit protein is distantly related to and forms a heterodimer with the alpha subunit [interpro:IPR001308].</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function Electron transfer activity Any molecular entity that serves as an electron acceptor and electron donor in an electron transport chain. An electron transport chain is a process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient.
