EC 1.16.3.2     
Accepted name: bacterial non-heme ferritin
Reaction: 4 Fe(II) + O2 + 6 H2O = 4 [FeO(OH)] + 8 H+ (overall reaction)
(1a) 2 Fe(II) + O2 + 4 H2O = 2 [FeO(OH)] + 4 H+ + H2O2
(1b) 2 Fe(II) + H2O2 + 2 H2O = 2 [FeO(OH)] + 4 H+
Glossary: [FeO(OH)] = iron(III) oxide-hydroxide
Other name(s): FtnA; HuHF
Systematic name: Fe(II):oxygen oxidoreductase ([FeO(OH)]core-producing)
Comments: Ferritins are intracellular iron-storage and detoxification proteins found in all kingdoms of life. They are formed from two subunits that co-assemble in various ratios to form a spherical protein shell. Thousands of mineralized iron atoms are stored within the core of the structure. The product of dioxygen reduction by the bacterial non-heme ferritin is hydrogen peroxide, which is consumed in a subsequent reaction.
