| UniProt functional annotation for P74416 | |||
| UniProt code: P74416. |
| Organism: | Synechocystis sp. (strain PCC 6803 / Kazusa). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Merismopediaceae; Synechocystis; unclassified Synechocystis. | |
| Function: | The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The P protein binds the alpha-amino group of glycine through its pyridoxal phosphate cofactor; CO(2) is released and the remaining methylamine moiety is then transferred to the lipoamide cofactor of the H protein. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00711}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=glycine + H(+) + N(6)-lipoyl-L-lysyl-[glycine-cleavage complex H protein] = (R)-N(6)-(S(8)-aminomethyldihydrolipoyl)-L-lysyl- [glycine-cleavage complex H protein] + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24304, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10494, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10495, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57305, ChEBI:CHEBI:83099, ChEBI:CHEBI:83143; EC=1.4.4.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00711}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00711}; | |
| Subunit: | The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, T, L and H. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00711}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the GcvP family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00711}. | |
