Comments This is not possible to make an automatic distinction of the 2 subclasses, 1A and 1B, that constitute this family, and which differ in their structural organization and use of electron acceptors. The 1A enzyme is a homodimer of two PyrD subunits and use fumarate as the natural electron acceptor (EC 1.3.98.1). The 1B enzyme, in contrast use NAD(+) as its natural electron acceptor (EC 1.3.1.14) and is a heterotetramer composed of a central, FMN-containing, PyrD homodimer resembling the 1A homodimer, and two additional PyrK subunits which contain FAD and a 2Fe-2S cluster. In bacteria the gene coding for PyrD type B and pyrK are adjacent genes; this rule does not seem to be always verified in archaea.
