DESCRIPTION

Also known as MBHJ_PYRFU, mbhJ, mbh10. Probable 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, but may also contain MbhJ.
