nqo5

Gene
nqo5
Protein
NADH-quinone oxidoreductase chain 5
Organism
Paracoccus denitrificans
Length
207 amino acids
Function
NDH-1 shuttles electrons from NADH, via FMN and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) centers, to quinones in the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme in this species is believed to be ubiquinone. Couples the redox reaction to proton translocation (for every two electrons transferred, four hydrogen ions are translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane), and thus conserves the redox energy in a proton gradient.
Similarity
Belongs to the complex I 30 kDa subunit family.
Mass
23.731 kDa

Protein
NADH-quinone oxidoreductase subunit 5
Organism
Thermus thermophilus (strain HB8 / ATCC 27634 / DSM 579)
Length
207 amino acids
Function
NDH-1 shuttles electrons from NADH, via FMN and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) centers, to quinones in the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme in this species is menaquinone. Couples the redox reaction to proton translocation (for every two electrons transferred, four hydrogen ions are translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane), and thus conserves the redox energy in a proton gradient required for the synthesis of ATP. The Nqo5 subunit may be involved in the stabilization of the complex.
