Protein
Sulfhydrogenase 1 subunit alpha
Organism
Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1)
Function
Part of a bifunctional enzyme complex that functions as an NADPH-dependent hydrogen-evolving hydrogenase with sulfur-reducing activity. May play a role in hydrogen cycling during fermentative growth. Activity not exhibited with NAD. The alpha and delta subunits form the hydrogenase component that catalyzes the reduction of protons to evolve hydrogen.
Similarity
Belongs to the [NiFe]/[NiFeSe] hydrogenase large subunit family.
