UniProt functional annotation for Q9SWE5

UniProt code: Q9SWE5.

Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis.
 
Function: Involved in plant growth and salt and osmotic tolerance. Catalyzes the decarboxylation of 4'-phosphopantothenoylcysteine to 4'- phosphopantetheine, a key step in coenzyme A biosynthesis. The enzyme is also able to decarboxylate pantothenoylcysteine to pantothenoylcysteamine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12860978, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16415216}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + N-[(R)-4-phosphopantothenoyl]-L-cysteine = CO2 + D- pantetheine 4'-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16793, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:59458, ChEBI:CHEBI:61723; EC=4.1.1.36;
Cofactor: Name=FMN; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58210; Note=Binds 1 FMN per subunit.;
Pathway: Cofactor biosynthesis; coenzyme A biosynthesis; CoA from (R)- pantothenate: step 3/5.
Subunit: Homotrimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10986463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12614618}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in roots, shoots, leaves, flowers, developing siliques and seeds with highest expression in seed embryos and phloem. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10652125}.
Induction: By salt stress. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10652125}.
Disruption phenotype: No visible phenotype under normal growth conditions, but homozygous double mutants hal3a-1 and hal3b are embryonic lethal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16415216}.
Similarity: Belongs to the HFCD (homooligomeric flavin containing Cys decarboxylase) superfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
