| UniProt functional annotation for P38489 | |||
| UniProt code: P38489. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Reduction of a variety of nitroaromatic compounds using NADH (and to lesser extent NADPH) as source of reducing equivalents; two electrons are transferred. Capable of reducing nitrofurazone, quinones and the anti-tumor agent CB1954 (5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4- dinitrobenzamide). The reduction of CB1954 results in the generation of cytotoxic species. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684426}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridine + NAD(+) = 6,7-dihydropteridine + H(+) + NADH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17869, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:28889, ChEBI:CHEBI:30156, ChEBI:CHEBI:57540, ChEBI:CHEBI:57945; EC=1.5.1.34; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridine + NADP(+) = 6,7-dihydropteridine + H(+) + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17865, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:28889, ChEBI:CHEBI:30156, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.5.1.34; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FMN; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58210; | |
| Activity regulation: | Subject to competitive inhibition by dicoumarol, nicotinic acid and acetate with respect to NADH. Subject to uncompetitive inhibition by dicoumarol, nicotinic acid and acetate with respect to nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684426}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=350 uM for NADH {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684426}; KM=1850 uM for nitrofurazone {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684426}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11020276, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11491290, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12954054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15684426}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nitroreductase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
