| UniProt functional annotation for P0ACB2 | |||
| UniProt code: P0ACB2. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=2 5-aminolevulinate = H(+) + 2 H2O + porphobilinogen; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24064, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:58126, ChEBI:CHEBI:356416; EC=4.2.1.24; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10194344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11444968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11909869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7592604}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10194344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11444968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11909869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7592604}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Allosteric enzyme. Stimulated by magnesium ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7592604}. | |
| Pathway: | Porphyrin-containing compound metabolism; protoporphyrin-IX biosynthesis; coproporphyrinogen-III from 5-aminolevulinate: step 1/4. | |
| Subunit: | Homooctamer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10194344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11444968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11909869}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ALAD family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAB18092.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=BAA12842.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
