| UniProt functional annotation for P09147 | |||
| UniProt code: P09147. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD. It is only active on UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=UDP-alpha-D-glucose = UDP-alpha-D-galactose; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22168, ChEBI:CHEBI:58885, ChEBI:CHEBI:66914; EC=5.1.3.2; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524}; | |

| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=18 uM for UDP-Gal (at pH 8.5) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8241178, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271498}; KM=160 uM for UDP-Gal (at pH 8.5 and 27 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8241178, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271498}; KM=225 uM for UDP-Glc (at pH 8.5 and 27 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8241178, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271498}; Note=Kcat is 760 sec(-1) for UDP-Glc (at pH 8.5 and 27 degrees Celsius) and 24 sec(-1) for UDP-Gal (at pH 8.5).; | |
| Pathway: | Carbohydrate metabolism; galactose metabolism. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12019271, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1579570, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4305667, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8611497, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8611559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8652544, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8931134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9174344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271498, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9708982}. | |
| Induction: | By D-galactose and D-fucose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14235524}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
