UniProt functional annotation for O06553

UniProt code: O06553.

Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
 
Function: F420H(2)-dependent reductase able to catalyze the reduction of biliverdin-IXalpha to bilirubin-IXalpha in vitro. However, kinetic parameters show that it is less efficient than the biliverdin reductase Rv2074 and suggest biliverdin-IXalpha is unlikely to be the native substrate of Rv1155, which probably catalyzes the reduction of an alternative molecule in vivo (PubMed:27364382). Binds coenzyme F420, but does not bind FMN or other flavins (PubMed:25644473). Cannot use pyridoxine 5'-phosphate, pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate, pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP), the anti-tuberculosis drug PA-824 or aflatoxin analogs as substrates (PubMed:25644473). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25644473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}.
 
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=82.8 uM for biliverdin {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}; Note=kcat is 0.024 sec(-1) for the reduction of biliverdin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382};
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15620716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25644473}.
Similarity: Belongs to the F420H(2)-dependent biliverdin reductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
