5.B.1.5.1
Plasma membrane Fe3+ and Cu2+ reductase, Fre1 (transfers electrons from NADPH in the cytoplasm to Fe3+ and Cu2+ in the extracellular millieu) (Rees and Thiele, 2007).  Thus, it, as well as Fre2 (TC# 5.B.1.7.2), mediate the reductive uptake of Fe3+-salts and Fe3+ bound to catecholate or hydroxamate siderophores. Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+, which then dissociates from the siderophore and can be imported by the high-affinity Fe2+ transport complex in the plasma membrane. Also participates in Cu2+ reduction and Cu+ uptake (Dancis et al. 1992; Hassett and Kosman 1995; Lesuisse et al. 1996; Georgatsou et al. 1997; Shi et al. 2003).
