Protein attributes

Sequence length	294 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Function	The key enzymatic reactions in nitrogen fixation are catalyzed by the nitrogenase complex, which has 2 components: the iron protein and the molybdenum-iron protein By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00533
Catalytic activity	8 reduced ferredoxin + 8 H+ + N2 + 16 ATP + 16 H2O = 8 oxidized ferredoxin + H2 + 2 NH3 + 16 ADP + 16 phosphate. HAMAP-Rule MF_00533
Cofactor	Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per dimer By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00533
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00533
Post-translational modification	The reversible ADP-ribosylation of Arg-100 inactivates the nitrogenase reductase and regulates nitrogenase activity By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00533
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the NifH/BchL/ChlL family.
