Research progress on Rubredoxin

Most of rubredoxin is concentrated from the strict anaerobic bacteria, including the bacteria, the ancient bacteria and a few micro aerobic bacteria in nature. In plants, these proteins are relatively few. It acts as a cofactor or electron donor to participate in multiple biochemical pathways. Researches show that these proteins both in plants, and in microorganisms play an important role in helped biological against oxidative stress. In this paper, we introduced the classification, structure and role of rubredoxinin microbes and plants, with aim to provide reference for further research in the future.
