| UniProt functional annotation for P05373 | |||
| UniProt code: P05373. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| 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:10386874}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386874}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by divalent lead ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9406553}. | |
| Pathway: | Porphyrin-containing compound metabolism; protoporphyrin-IX biosynthesis; coproporphyrinogen-III from 5-aminolevulinate: step 1/4. | |
| Subunit: | Homooctamer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386874, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10739915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11545591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9406553}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 11600 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ALAD family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
