Fold: Heme-binding four-helical bundle

core: four transmembrane helices, up-and-down bundle, binds one or two heme groups in between the helices

Lineage:

  1. Root: scop
  2. Class: Membrane and cell surface proteins and peptides [56835]
    Does not include proteins in the immune system
  3. Fold: Heme-binding four-helical bundle [81344]
    core: four transmembrane helices, up-and-down bundle, binds one or two heme groups in between the helices

Superfamilies:

  1. Transmembrane di-heme cytochromes [81342] (2)
    Three of the four heme-ligands are conserved between the two families; both heme groups bind similarly but not identically

    1. Cytochrome b of cytochrome bc1 complex (Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase) [81642] (5) picpic
      a part (domain) of a larger mitochondrial cytochrome b subunit, separate subunit in plants and cyanobacteria
    2. Formate dehydrogenase N, cytochrome (gamma) subunit [75645] (1) picpic
  2. Respiratory nitrate reductase 1 gamma chain [103501] (1)
    possible link between the two other superfamilies: this subunit corresponds to the gamma subunit of a functionally related Formate dehydrogenase N complex but is structurally closer to the Fumarate reductase subunit FrdC

    1. Respiratory nitrate reductase 1 gamma chain [103502] (1) picpic
  3. Fumarate reductase respiratory complex transmembrane subunits [81343] (2)
    two distinct families: in one family the common fold is contained in a single-chain subunit, in the other it is formed by two chains
    link to SUPERFAMILY database - Superfamily
    1. Fumarate reductase respiratory complex cytochrome b subunit, FrdC [56910] (1) picpic
      duplication: consists of two structural repeats; the heme-binding sites are related by pseudo two fold symmetry
    2. Succinate dehydrogenase/Fumarate reductase transmembrane subunits (SdhC/FrdC and SdhD/FrdD) [81373] (4) picpic
      consists of two homologous non-identical subunits that form a heterodimer; may or may not contain heme groups
