UniProt functional annotation for P24215

UniProt code: P24215.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Catalyzes the dehydration of D-mannonate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=D-mannonate = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20097, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:17767, ChEBI:CHEBI:57990; EC=4.2.1.8; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546};
Cofactor: Name=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546}; Note=Mn(2+) can substitute for iron, but in higher concentrations. Cannot use Fe(3+), Ni(2+) or Mg(2+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546};
Activity regulation: Is inhibited by high concentrations of Fe(2+) (> 2 mM), and by EDTA or other iron chelators in vitro. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546}.
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is about 7.5. The activity at pH 6.5 and 8.6 is only about 20% of the maximal achievable activity at optimum pH. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3038546};
Pathway: Carbohydrate metabolism; pentose and glucuronate interconversion.
Induction: By fructuronate. Its expression is subjected to catabolite repression by glucose.
Similarity: Belongs to the mannonate dehydratase family. {ECO:0000305}.
