| UniProt functional annotation for O66145 | |||
| UniProt code: O66145. |
| Organism: | Citrobacter amalonaticus. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Citrobacter. | |
| Function: | Involved in the methylaspartate cycle. Catalyzes the formation of the alpha,beta-unsaturated bond by the reversible anti elimination of ammonia from L-threo-beta-methylaspartate (L-threo- (2S,3S)-3-methylaspartate) to give mesaconate (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=(2S,3S)-3-methyl-L-aspartate = mesaconate + NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12829, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:36986, ChEBI:CHEBI:58724; EC=4.3.1.2; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11796115}; | |
| Pathway: | Amino-acid degradation; L-glutamate degradation via mesaconate pathway; acetate and pyruvate from L-glutamate: step 2/4. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11796115}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the methylaspartate ammonia-lyase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
