Protein
[FeFe] hydrogenase maturase subunit HydE
Organism
Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / MSB8 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099)
Function
Required for the maturation of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase HydA (By similarity). Catalyzes the reductive cleavage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (in vitro), suggesting it may contribute to the biosynthesis of an essential sulfur-containing ligand that binds to the hydrogenase active site [2Fe-2S] cluster (PubMed:16137685).
Similarity
Belongs to the radical SAM superfamily. HydE family.
