Abstract

Sulphite reductases (SiRs) and related nitrite reductases (NiRs) catalyse the six-electron reduction reactions of sulphite to sulphide, and nitrite to ammonia, respectively. The Escherichia coli SiR enzyme is a complex composed of two proteins, a flavoprotein alpha-component (SiR-FP) and a hemoprotein beta-component (SiR-HP), and has an alpha(8)beta(4) quaternary structure [PubMed10984484]. SiR-FP contains both FAD and FMN, while SiR-HP contains a Fe(4)S(4) cluster coupled to a sirohaem through a cysteine bridge. Electrons are transferred from NADPH to FAD, and on to FMN in SiR-FP, from which they are transferred to the metal centre of SiR-HP, where they reduce the siroheme-bound sulphite.

SiR-HP has a two-fold symmetry, which generates a distinctive three-domain alpha/beta fold that controls assembly and reactivity [PubMed7569952]. This entry describes the ferrodoxin-like (alpha/beta sandwich) domain, which consists of a duplication containing two subdomains of this fold.

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 2 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Sulfite reductase, domains 1 and 3 domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 2 hidden Markov models representing the Sulfite reductase, domains 1 and 3 superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
