P21524 RIR1_YEAST 2''-deoxyribonucleoside diphosphate + thioredoxin disulfide + H(2)O = ribonucleoside diphosphate + thioredoxin. Heterotetramer of two large (R1) and two small (R2) subunits. S.cerevisiae has two different R1 subunits (RNR1 and RNR3) and two different R2 subunits (RNR2 and RNR4). The functional form of the small subunits is a RNR2-RNR4 heterodimer, where RNR2 provides the iron-radical center and RNR4 is required for proper folding of RNR2 and assembly with the large subunits. Under normal growth conditions, the active form of the large subunits is a homodimer of the constitutively expressed RNR1. In damaged cells or cells arrested for DNA synthesis, the reductase consists of multiple species because of the association of the small subunits (RNR2-RNR4) with either the RNR1 homodimer or a heterodimer of RNR1 and the damage-inducible RNR3. RNR1 interacts with the ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor SML1. Cytoplasm.

Comments
(C) Electron transfer from the active site redox-active cysteine pair (Cys218 & Cys443) to the substrate nucleotide.
This enzyme belongs to the class I ribonucleotide reductases (RNR). The class I enzyme can be further subdivided into Ia and Ib. This entry is for the subclass Ia, whose subunits are large subunits (R1) and small ones (R2). Moreover, Unlike the other homologous counterpart enzyme, both the subunits have got two different subunits, RNR1 and RNR3 for the large one, and RNR2 and RNR4 for the large one.
The functional form of the small subunits is a RNR2-RNR4 heterodimer, in which RNR2 gives active site for radical generation with cofactor di-iron bound, and RNR4 supports the folding of the RNR2 subunit (see [4]).
Futhermore, this enzyme has different domains, from other counterpart enzymes, at the N-terminus and C-terminus. The tertiary structure of the C-terminal domain, which is an additional domain, has not been determined yet.
The class Ia enzyme has got a allosteric regulation by ATP.
According to the counterpart enzyme from Salmonella typhimurium (M00204 in EzCatDB), this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions:
(A) Electron transfer from thioredoxin (an external donor) to the redox-active Cys883-Cys886 of RNR1 (or Cys864-Cys867 of RNR3) (disulfide) at the C-terminus of the R1 subunit.
(B) Electron transfer from the C-terminus redox-active cysteine pair to the active site redox-active Cys218-Cys443.
(D) Radical formation at Tyr183 of the R2 subunit (RNR2):
(E) Radical transfer from Tyr183 to the di-iron site of the R2 subunit (RNR2).
(F) Radical transfer from the di-iron site to the active site Cys428, through Tyr741/Tyr742 of the R1 subunit, generating a thiyl radical at Cys428.
(G) Radical reaction for the substrate nucleotide at the active site Cys428.
#####
Other classes are as follows:
Class I enzymes: M00011 (class Ia), M00204 (class Ib)
Clsss II enzyme (e.g. adenocylcobalamine-dependent rebonucleotide reductase from Lactobacillus leichmannii, E.C 1.17.4.2).
Class III enzyme (E.C. 1.17.4.2): M00203
