Arsenate reductase (azurin) ( EC 1.20.9.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- arsenite + H2O + 2 azurinox arsenate + 2 azurinred + 2 H+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are arsenite, water, and oxidised azurin, whereas its 3 products are arsenate, reduced azurin, and hydrogen ion.
Classification
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on phosphorus or arsenic in donor with a copper protein as acceptor.
Nomenclature
The systematic name of this enzyme class is arsenite:azurin oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called arsenite oxidase.
Structure and function
The enzyme contains a molybdopterin centre comprising two
molybdopterin
guanosine dinucleotide cofactors bound to
molybdenum, a
[3Fe-4S] cluster and a
Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster. Also uses a c-type
cytochrome or
O
2 as acceptors.
