| UniProt functional annotation for Q9M8R4 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9M8R4. |
| Organism: | Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis. | |
| Function: | Possesses glyoxalase I activity. Catalyzes the conversion of hemimercaptal, formed from methylglyoxal and glutathione, to S- lactoylglutathione. May be involved in oxidative stress response. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23651081}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=(R)-S-lactoylglutathione = glutathione + methylglyoxal; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19069, ChEBI:CHEBI:17158, ChEBI:CHEBI:57474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57925; EC=4.4.1.5; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.1 mM for methylglyoxal {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23651081}; KM=0.27 mM for glutathione {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23651081}; Note=kcat is 1700 min(-1) with methylglyoxal as substrate. kcat is 2200 min(-1) with glutathione as substrate.; pH dependence: Optimum pH is 6.8. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23651081}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 45 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23651081}; | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23651081}. | |
| Ptm: | Cys-120 and Cys-313 are oxidized to sulfinic acid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22232184}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase C56 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
