| UniProt functional annotation for P39304 | |||
| UniProt code: P39304. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3-keto-L-gulonate-6-P into L-xylulose-5-P. Is involved in the anaerobic L-ascorbate utilization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741871}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=3-dehydro-L-gulonate 6-phosphate + H(+) = CO2 + L-xylulose 5- phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14353, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57829, ChEBI:CHEBI:58774; EC=4.1.1.85; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.67 mM for 3-keto-L-gulonate-6-P {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15157077}; | |
| Pathway: | Cofactor degradation; L-ascorbate degradation; D-xylulose 5- phosphate from L-ascorbate: step 2/4. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11900527, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15157078, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15697207}. | |
| Induction: | Induced by L-ascorbate. Repressed by UlaR. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12374842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14996803}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The reaction mechanism proceeds via the formation of a Mg(2+) ion-stabilized 1,2-cis-enediolate intermediate. Water molecules competitively shuttle protons from the side chains of His-136 and Arg- 139 to alternate faces of this intermediate. The active site is located at the interface of the component polypeptides. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the HPS/KGPDC family. KGPDC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
