Thioredoxin (TRX)-like [2Fe-2S] Ferredoxin (Fd) family; composed of [2Fe-2S] Fds with a TRX fold (TRX-like Fds) and proteins containing domains similar to TRX-like Fd including formate dehydrogenases, NAD-reducing hydrogenases and the subunit E of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (NuoE). TRX-like Fds are soluble low-potential electron carriers containing a single [2Fe-2S] cluster. The exact role of TRX-like Fd is still unclear. It has been suggested that it may be involved in nitrogen fixation. Its homologous domains in large redox enzymes (such as Nuo and hydrogenases) function as electron carriers.
