| UniProt functional annotation for O05581 | |||
| UniProt code: O05581. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes specifically the acetylation of the epsilon-amino group of a highly conserved lysine residue in acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS). This acetylation results in the inactivation of ACS activity and could be important for mycobacteria to adjust to environmental changes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20507997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21627103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22773105}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:22773105}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Autoinhibited and allosterically activated by 3,5- cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). An extensive conformational rearrangement relieves this autoinhibition by means of a substrate- mimicking lid that covers the protein-substrate binding surface. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21627103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22773105}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22773105}. | |
