UniProt functional annotation for O54288

UniProt code: O54288.

Organism: Saccharolobus solfataricus (Sulfolobus solfataricus).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Saccharolobus.
 
Function: Involved in the degradation of glucose and galactose via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Catalyzes the reversible cleavage of 2-keto- 3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) forming pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively. It is also able to catalyze the reversible cleavage of 2- keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) and 2-keto-3- deoxygalactonate (KDGal). It is equally active with both D- and L- glyceraldehyde. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10527934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12824170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16330030}.
