UniProt functional annotation for Q5SJF8

UniProt code: Q5SJF8.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of the chorismate, which leads to the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. Catalyzes the reversible NADPH linked reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate (DHSA) to yield shikimate (SA). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00222}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=NADP(+) + shikimate = 3-dehydroshikimate + H(+) + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17737, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16630, ChEBI:CHEBI:36208, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.1.1.25; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00222};
Pathway: Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; chorismate biosynthesis; chorismate from D-erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate: step 4/7. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00222}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00222, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17825835}.
Similarity: Belongs to the shikimate dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00222}.
