| UniProt functional annotation for P28305 | |||
| UniProt code: P28305. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Involved in the biosynthesis of p-aminobenzoate (PABA), a precursor of tetrahydrofolate. Converts 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate into 4-aminobenzoate (PABA) and pyruvate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1644759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2251281}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=4-amino-4-deoxychorismate = 4-aminobenzoate + H(+) + pyruvate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16201, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17836, ChEBI:CHEBI:58406; EC=4.1.3.38; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:2251281}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10876155, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11841211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1644759}; | |
| Pathway: | Cofactor biosynthesis; tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis; 4- aminobenzoate from chorismate: step 2/2. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10876155, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11841211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1644759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2251281}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells lacking this gene are unable to produce PABA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1644759}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-IV pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
