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};
Cofactor: Name=NAD(+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57540; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12019271, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8241178, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8611497, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8611559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8652544, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8931134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9174344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9708982};
Activity regulation: Inhibited by UDP-phenol and NaBH3CN. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1579570, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9271498}.
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}.
