| SMART accession number: | SM00890 |
|---|---|
| Description: | EKR is a short, 33 residue, domain found in bacterial and some lower eukaryotic species which lies between a POR (pyruvate ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductase) and the 4Fe-4S binding domain Fer4. It contains a characteristic EKR sequence motif. The exact function of this domain is not known. |
| Interpro abstract (IPR019456): | EKR is a short, 33 residue, domain found in bacterial and some lower eukaryotic species which lies between a POR (pyruvate ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductase) domain (IPR019752) and the 4Fe-4S binding domain (IPR017896). It contains a characteristic EKR sequence motif. The exact function of this domain is not known. |
| GO process: | oxidation-reduction process (GO:0055114) |
| GO function: | oxidoreductase activity, acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors (GO:0016903) |
