Reduction of methemoglobins M Hyde Park, M Saskatoon and M Milwaukee by
ferredoxin and ferredoxin-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reductase system.
Genes involved in the electron transport chain were lacking, leading the authors to postulate substrate-level phosphorylation through phosphoglycerate, pyruvate, and acetate kinases, as well as the production of molecular hydrogen by pyruvate
ferredoxin oxidoreductase (Pamp et al., 2012).
The query results showed that 296 sequences hit to "Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) like region, conserved site," followed by 124 and 102 unigenes that match the genes encoding "2Fe-2S
ferredoxin, iron-sulfur binding site," and "thiolase," respectively (Table 2).
The pyruvate is then oxidized through a pyruvateferredoxin oxidoreductase producing acetyl-CoA, C[O.sub.2] and reduced
ferredoxin. NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase oxidizes NADH and reduces
ferredoxin.

FERREDOXIN:SULFITE-REDUCTASE BY RNA INTERFERENCE
The clostridia system also requires
ferredoxin (Baldwin, 1965).
Russell and Martin offer yet another piece of circumstantial evidence that life may have emerged from iron sulfide-catalyzed chemistry: Many of the large proteins that drive basic biochemical reactions today--such as
ferredoxin, a protein that mediates metabolic reactions--rely on smaller iron sulfur cofactors.
Rubisco activase is regulated by the ferredoxin/thioredoxin system and
ferredoxin then can donate electrons to
ferredoxin:thioredoxin reductase which then reduces the thioredoxins.
The S[O.sup.4.sub.2-] ions participate in the synthesis of chlorophyll and formation of the
ferredoxin complex; this latter helps the transport of electrons during the production of reducing power in the photosynthetic process and favors the accumulation of carbohydrates and other N components (Lester et al., 2005), preponderant factors for the increment in mango yield.
