| UniProt functional annotation for P9WIQ1 | |||
| UniProt code: P9WIQ1. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the interconversion through a 2-keto intermediate of uridine diphosphogalactopyranose (UDP-GalP) into uridine diphosphogalactofuranose (UDP-GalF) which is a key building block for cell wall construction in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9692181}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=UDP-alpha-D-galactose = UDP-alpha-D-galactofuranose; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24132, ChEBI:CHEBI:66914, ChEBI:CHEBI:66915; EC=5.4.99.9; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843027}; | |
| Pathway: | Cell wall biogenesis; cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis. | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15843027}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the UDP-galactopyranose/dTDP-fucopyranose mutase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
