| UniProt functional annotation for P23254 | |||
| UniProt code: P23254. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor, via a covalent intermediate with the cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8521838}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate = aldehydo-D-ribose 5-phosphate + D-xylulose 5-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10508, ChEBI:CHEBI:57483, ChEBI:CHEBI:57737, ChEBI:CHEBI:58273, ChEBI:CHEBI:59776; EC=2.2.1.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:8144674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8521838, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8999873}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; Name=Co(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:48828; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. Can also utilize other divalent metal cations, such as Ca(2+), Mn(2+) and Co(2+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=thiamine diphosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58937; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; Note=Binds 1 thiamine pyrophosphate per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186462}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11773632, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8144674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8176731, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8999873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9398292}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 40300 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
