UniProt functional annotation for A6T9C8

UniProt code: A6T9C8.

Organism: Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae (strain ATCC 700721 / MGH 78578).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Klebsiella.
 
Function: Involved in the uric acid degradation pathway. Catalyzes the conversion of oxamate to oxalate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27303801}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + oxamate = NH4(+) + oxalate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:51512, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:30623, ChEBI:CHEBI:58363; EC=3.5.1.126; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:27303801};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: Note=Kcat is 5.5 sec(-1) with oxamate as substrate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27303801};
Subunit: Heterodimer that consists of a 35.5 kDa large (alpha) subunit and a 20 kDa small (beta) subunit, which are synthesized from a single polypeptide. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27303801}.
Ptm: Cleaved by autocatalysis into a large (alpha) and a small (beta) subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27303801}.
Similarity: Belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
