Protein
Hydrogenase maturation factor HybG
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Involved in the maturation of [NiFe] hydrogenases. Involved in the biosynthesis of the Fe(CN)(2)CO cofactor (PubMed:16412426). HybG delivers iron-bound CO(2) to HypD where reduction to CO probably occurs (PubMed:23851071). In complex with HypD, accepts the cyanide ligand generated by HypF and HypE, and also coordinates the carbon monoxide ligand (By similarity). Involved in the maturation of the hydrogenase 2. Also participates in the maturation of hydrogenase 1 (PubMed:11292801).
Similarity
Belongs to the HupF/HypC family.
