UniProt functional annotation for P0A790

UniProt code: P0A790.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Catalyzes the pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylation of aspartate to produce beta-alanine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6767707}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + L-aspartate = beta-alanine + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19497, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:29991, ChEBI:CHEBI:57966; EC=4.1.1.11; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:6767707};
Cofactor: Name=pyruvate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:15361; Note=Binds 1 pyruvoyl group covalently per subunit.;
Activity regulation: Inhibited by hydroxylamine, sodium borohydride, D- cycloserine, hydrazine, semicarbazine and succinic dehydrazine (PubMed:6767707). D-serine is a competitive inhibitor (PubMed:6767707). Cleavage and catalytic activity are regulated by PanZ in a coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent fashion (PubMed:23170229, PubMed:25910242). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23170229, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25910242, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6767707}.
Pathway: Cofactor biosynthesis; (R)-pantothenate biosynthesis; beta- alanine from L-aspartate: step 1/1.
Subunit: Heterooctamer of four alpha and four beta subunits (PubMed:9546220). Interacts with PanZ (PubMed:23170229, PubMed:25910242). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23170229, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25910242, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9546220}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6767707}.
Ptm: Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme, which is activated by self-cleavage at a specific serine bond to produce a beta- subunit with a hydroxyl group at its C-terminus and an alpha-subunit with a pyruvoyl group at its N-terminus.
Similarity: Belongs to the PanD family. {ECO:0000305}.
