UniProt functional annotation for Q9FCA6

UniProt code: Q9FCA6.

Organism: Streptomyces coelicolor (strain ATCC BAA-471 / A3(2) / M145).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptomycetales; Streptomycetaceae; Streptomyces; Streptomyces albidoflavus group.
 
Function: Catalyzes oxidative C-C coupling reaction to polymerize flaviolin and form highly conjugated pigments which protect the soil bacterium from deleterious effects of UV irradiation (three isomers of biflaviolin and one triflaviolin). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 flaviolin + H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = 3,3'-biflaviolin + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:26031, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10001, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:33737, ChEBI:CHEBI:33738, ChEBI:CHEBI:58696, ChEBI:CHEBI:77877; EC=1.14.19.69; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22203090};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 flaviolin + H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = 3,8'-biflaviolin + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:26035, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10001, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:33737, ChEBI:CHEBI:33738, ChEBI:CHEBI:58696, ChEBI:CHEBI:77840; EC=1.14.19.69; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22203090};
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22203090};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=7.3 uM for flaviolin (at pH 8.2 and 37 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22203090}; Note=kcat is 1.4 min(-1) with flaviolin as substrate (at pH 7.5 and 37 degrees Celsius). kcat is 0.02 min(-1) with 2-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinone as substrate (at pH 7.5 and 25 degrees Celsius). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228};
Pathway: Pigment biosynthesis. {ECO:0000303|PubMed:15659395}.
Miscellaneous: The structural studies suggest catalysis likely occurs through proton relay via a 'proton wire' formed by water molecules in the active site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22203090}.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000255|RuleBase:RU000461}.
