UniProt functional annotation for Q8ZNF9

UniProt code: Q8ZNF9.

Organism: Salmonella typhimurium (strain LT2 / SGSC1412 / ATCC 700720).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Salmonella.
 
Function: Catalyzes the dehydration of L-rhamnonate to 2-keto-3-deoxy- L-rhamnonate (KDR). Can also dehydrate L-lyxonate and L-mannonate, although less efficiently, but not 2-keto-4-hydroxyheptane-1,7-dioate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-rhamnonate = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-rhamnonate + H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23080, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:58118, ChEBI:CHEBI:58371; EC=4.2.1.90;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.25 mM for L-rhamnonate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}; KM=1.6 mM for L-lyxonate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}; KM=0.06 mM for L-mannonate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}; Note=The catalytic efficiency observed with L-rhamnonate as substrate is 533- and 8-fold higher than that observed with L-lyxonate and L- mannonate, respectively.;
Subunit: Homooctamer; tetramer of dimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754693}.
Miscellaneous: Reaction proceeds via a syn dehydration.
Similarity: Belongs to the mandelate racemase/muconate lactonizing enzyme family. RhamD subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
