FUNCTIONThe key enzymatic reactions in nitrogen fixation are catalyzed by the nitrogenase complex, which has 2 components: the iron protein and the molybdenum-iron protein.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=16 ATP + 16 H2O + N2 + 8 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = 16 ADP + 6 H(+) + H2 + 2 NH4(+) + 8 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + 16 phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21448, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10001, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17997, ChEBI:CHEBI:18276, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33737, ChEBI:CHEBI:33738, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=1.18.6.1;
COFACTOR Name=[4Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49883; Note=Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per dimer.;
SUBUNITHomodimer.
case <FT:4>
PTMThe reversible ADP-ribosylation of #{Arg-101} inactivates the nitrogenase reductase and regulates nitrogenase activity.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the NifH/BchL/ChlL family.
