UniProt functional annotation for P0AF93

UniProt code: P0AF93.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Accelerates the release of ammonia from reactive enamine/imine intermediates of the PLP-dependent threonine dehydratase (IlvA) in the low water environment of the cell. It catalyzes the deamination of enamine/imine intermediates to yield 2-ketobutyrate and ammonia. It is required for the detoxification of reactive intermediates of IlvA due to their highly nucleophilic abilities. Involved in the isoleucine biosynthesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2-iminobutanoate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:39975, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16763, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:76545; EC=3.5.99.10;
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2-iminopropanoate + H2O = NH4(+) + pyruvate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:40671, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:44400; EC=3.5.99.10;
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-isoleucine biosynthesis; 2- oxobutanoate from L-threonine.
Subunit: Homotrimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10595546}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the RutC family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA97140.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
