Cytokinin dehydrogenase 1, FAD and cytokinin binding
Members of this family adopt an alpha+beta sandwich structure with an antiparallel beta-sheet, in a ferredoxin-like fold. They are predominantly found in plant cytokinin dehydrogenase 1, where they are capable of binding both FAD and cytokinin substrates. The substrate displays a 'plug-into-socket' binding mode that seals the catalytic site and precisely positions the carbon atom undergoing oxidation in close contact with the reactive locus of the flavin.
