GN MERA. OS Pseudomonas fluorescens. OG Plasmid pMER327. OC Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; OC Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas. OX NCBI_TaxID=294; RN [1] RP SEQUENCE FROM N.A. RX MEDLINE=94341572; PubMed=8063107; RA Hobman J., Kholodii G., Nikiforov V., Ritchie D.A., Strike P., RA Yurieva O.; RT "The sequence of the mer operon of pMER327/419 and transposon ends of RT pMER327/419, 330 and 05."; RL Gene 146:73-78(1994). CC -!- FUNCTION: Resistance to Hg(2+) in bacteria appears to be governed CC by a specialized system which includes mercuric reductase. MerA CC protein is responsible for volatilizing mercury as Hg(0). CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hg + NADP(+) + H(+) = Hg(2+) + NADPH. CC -!- COFACTOR: Binds 1 FAD per subunit (By similarity). CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The active site is a redox-active disulfide bond. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide CC oxidoreductase family. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 HMA domain.
