General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. May have a pyroglycolytic (saccharolytic) role.

Catalytic activity

An aldehyde + H2O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = a carboxylate + 2 H+ + 2 reduced ferredoxin.

Cofactor

Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit.

Binds 1 tungstopterin cofactor per subunit.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by arsenite, iodoacetate and cyanide.

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Miscellaneous

A significant amount of formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity has been observed.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the AOR/FOR family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

Significant activity only with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and only at low concentration (0.5 mM).

KM=0.72 mM for formaldehyde Ref.4

Vmax=295 µmol/min/mg enzyme with formaldehyde as substrate

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is above 10.

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is above 90 degrees Celsius.
