DESCRIPTION

Also known as MBHLA_PYRFU, mbhL, mbh12. Alpha subunit of a hydrogen-evolving hydrogenase that utilizes protons both as a substrate for hydrogen production and proton translocation. Acts by coupling the redox reaction via ferredoxin and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters to proton translocation across the membrane thereby conserving the redox energy in a proton gradient. The membrane-bound hydrogenase complex is composed of MbhK and MbhL, and may also contain MbhJ.
