UniProt functional annotation for Q56839

UniProt code: Q56839.

Organism: Xanthobacter autotrophicus (strain ATCC BAA-1158 / Py2).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Xanthobacteraceae; Xanthobacter.
 
Function: Catalyzes the reductive cleavage of the thioether linkage of 2-ketopropyl-coenzyme M, and the subsequent carboxylation of the ketopropyl cleavage product, yielding the products acetoacetate and free coenzyme M.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=acetoacetate + coenzyme M + NADP(+) = 2-oxopropyl-coenzyme M + CO2 + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16977, ChEBI:CHEBI:13705, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57552, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58319, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.8.1.5;
Cofactor: Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Note=Binds 1 FAD per subunit.;
Pathway: Alkene metabolism; propylene degradation.
Subunit: Homodimer. Component II of the aliphatic epoxide carboxylation complex together with components I, III and IV.
Miscellaneous: The active site is a redox-active disulfide bond.
Similarity: Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
