| UniProt functional annotation for Q53W83 | |||
| UniProt code: Q53W83. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Involved in the degradation of glucose via the semi- phosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) to produce 2-keto-3-deoxy-6- phosphogluconate (KDPG). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + ATP = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6- phospho-D-gluconate + ADP + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14797, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:57569, ChEBI:CHEBI:57990, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.1.45; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.32 mM for KDG (at 35 degrees Celsius and pH 7.4) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}; KM=3.6 mM for 2-keto-D-gluconate (at 35 degrees Celsius and pH 7.4) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}; Note=Kcat is 11 (sec-1) for KDG and 2.2 (sec-1) for 2-keto-D- gluconate (at 35 degrees Celsius and pH 7.4).; pH dependence: Optimum pH is between 6 and 9. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}; | |
| Pathway: | Carbohydrate acid metabolism; 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate degradation; D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and pyruvate from 2-dehydro- 3-deoxy-D-gluconate: step 1/2. | |
| Subunit: | Homohexamer; trimer of dimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15210349}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the carbohydrate kinase pfkB family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
