Fumarate reductase (cytochrome)

UniProtKB accession:  P83223

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Flavocytochrome that catalyzes the reduction of fumarate to succinate (PubMed:12196158, PubMed:12899636, PubMed:22458729). Is essential for fumarate respiration during anaerobic growth, acting as the terminal reductase (By similarity). Receives electrons from the membrane-bound tetraheme c-type cytochrome CymA (PubMed:12196158, PubMed:12899636, PubMed:19837833, PubMed:22458729). Under ferric iron-reducing conditions, can be part of an electron transport chain to ferric iron, by accepting electrons from CymA and transfering them to the c-type cytochrome MtrA (PubMed:19837833). Also plays an important role in the reduction of selenite to elemental selenium (PubMed:24435070). May act as a transient electron storage protein (PubMed:19837833).
