UniProt functional annotation for P54885

UniProt code: P54885.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Catalyzes the NADPH dependent reduction of L-gamma-glutamyl 5-phosphate into L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde and phosphate. The product spontaneously undergoes cyclization to form 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde + NADP(+) + phosphate = H(+) + L- glutamyl 5-phosphate + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19541, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58066, ChEBI:CHEBI:58274, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.2.1.41;
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-proline biosynthesis; L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde from L-glutamate: step 2/2.
Miscellaneous: Present with 6920 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
