UniProt functional annotation for P00934

UniProt code: P00934.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Catalyzes the gamma-elimination of phosphate from L- phosphohomoserine and the beta-addition of water to produce L- threonine. To a lesser extent, is able to slowly catalyze the deamination of L-threonine into alpha-ketobutyrate and that of L-serine and 3-chloroalanine into pyruvate. Is also able to rapidly convert vinylglycine to threonine, which proves that the pyridoxal p-quinonoid of vinylglycine is an intermediate in the TS reaction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + O-phospho-L-homoserine = L-threonine + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10840, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57590, ChEBI:CHEBI:57926; EC=4.2.3.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888};
Cofactor: Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888};
Activity regulation: Is competitively inhibited by L-threo-3- hydroxyhomoserine phosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.5 mM for O-phospho-L-homoserine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888}; Vmax=9.3 umol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7907888};
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-threonine biosynthesis; L-threonine from L-aspartate: step 5/5.
Similarity: Belongs to the threonine synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
