| UniProt functional annotation for Q05603 | |||
| UniProt code: Q05603. |
| Organism: | Salmonella typhimurium (strain LT2 / SGSC1412 / ATCC 700720). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Salmonella. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the synthesis of alpha-ribazole-5'-phosphate from nicotinate mononucleotide (NAMN) and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) (PubMed:8206834, PubMed:10587435, PubMed:11441022, Ref.7, PubMed:24121107). Able to use a variety of other nucleotide bases as substrate to create alternative lower ligands for cobamide (PubMed:11441022, Ref.7, PubMed:24121107). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587435, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11441022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24121107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8206834, ECO:0000269|Ref.7}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole + nicotinate beta-D-ribonucleotide = alpha-ribazole 5'-phosphate + H(+) + nicotinate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11196, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15890, ChEBI:CHEBI:32544, ChEBI:CHEBI:57502, ChEBI:CHEBI:57918; EC=2.4.2.21; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:8206834}; | |
| Pathway: | Nucleoside biosynthesis; alpha-ribazole biosynthesis; alpha- ribazole from 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole: step 1/2. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587435, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24121107, ECO:0000269|Ref.7}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | No growth on cobinamide (CBI); double cobB-cobT deletion mutants do not grow on CBI and DMB (PubMed:8206834). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8206834}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | In vitro assays of this enzyme are performed at pH 10 because at physiological pH (7.0) its activity is undetectable; this makes it difficult to assess the role of mutagenesis of potential proton acceptor active site residues (Glu-174 and Glu-317) (PubMed:24121107). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24121107}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the CobT family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAA27271.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAA69297.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
