| V500D | variant of the flavin binding reductase (SiRFP) binds NADP+ with an affinity similar to that of wild-type enzyme. The variant is reduced by about 60% in its ability to transfer electrons to the iron-containing oxidase (SiRHP). | Escherichia coli |

| dodecamer | NADPH-dependent assimilatory sulfite reductase (SiR) is composed of two subunits. One is a multidomain flavin binding reductase (SiRFP) and the other an iron-containing oxidase (SiRHP). Tight binding between SiRFP and SiRHP is incompatible with the electron transfer-competent interface, suggesting that the dodecameric holoenzyme consists of four SiRFP/SiRHP heterodimers and four free SiRFP molecules. Six electrons come two at a time from three NADPH cofactors to complete catalysis, which means that SiRHP must interact with SiRFP three times for every SO3(2-) that binds | Escherichia coli |
