The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• 2'-deoxyribonucleoside diphosphate + thioredoxin disulfide + H2O = ribonucleoside diphosphate + thioredoxin (according to Swiss-Prot)
• required for stationary-phase mutagenesis [Pubmed|27920297]

Protein family

• ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase large chain family (according to Swiss-Prot)

Paralogous protein(s)

• [protein|FD4CD7DB35AA20DBBEC0A4DA5D88282D89CCDA6D|NrdEB]

Effectors of protein activity

• ATP stimulates CDP reduction [Pubmed|24401092]
• dATP at concentrations up to ~10 µM stimulate CDP reduction, while higher concentrations inhibit this activity, inhibition by dATP is enhanced by binding of dAMP to the N-terminal domain of NrdE [Pubmed|29712847,24401092]

Structure

• [PDB|1PEM] (from ''S. typhimurium'', 45% identity) [Pubmed|12818204]

Additional information

• subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation [PubMed|17981983]
