UniProt functional annotation for P43379

UniProt code: P43379.

Organism: Bacillus circulans.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Cyclizes part of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan chain by formation of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic bond.; EC=2.4.1.19; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:7493956};
Cofactor: Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 3 Ca(2+) ions per subunit.;
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7857935}.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: May consist of two protein domains: the one in the N-terminal side cleaves the alpha-1,4-glucosidic bond in starch, and the other in the C-terminal side catalyzes other activities, including the reconstitution of an alpha-1,4-glucosidic linkage for cyclizing the maltooligosaccharide produced.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. {ECO:0000305}.
