| UniProt functional annotation for P11544 | |||
| UniProt code: P11544. |
| Organism: | Rhodosporidium toruloides (Yeast) (Rhodotorula gracilis). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Basidiomycota; Pucciniomycotina; Microbotryomycetes; Sporidiobolales; Sporidiobolaceae; Rhodotorula. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the non-oxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine to form trans-cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid respectively with similar efficiencies. Facilitates the commitment step in phenylpropanoid pathways that produce lignins, coumarins and flavonoids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-phenylalanine = (E)-cinnamate + NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21384, ChEBI:CHEBI:15669, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:58095; EC=4.3.1.25; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-tyrosine = (E)-4-coumarate + NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24906, ChEBI:CHEBI:12876, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:58315; EC=4.3.1.25; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.29 mM for L-phenylalanine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931, ECO:0000269|Ref.5}; KM=0.18 mM for L-tyrosine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931, ECO:0000269|Ref.5}; pH dependence: Optimum pH is 8.5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5102931, ECO:0000269|Ref.5}; | |
| Pathway: | Phenylpropanoid metabolism; trans-cinnamate biosynthesis; trans-cinnamate from L-phenylalanine: step 1/1. | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. Dimer of dimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15350127, ECO:0000269|Ref.5}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Ptm: | Contains an active site 4-methylidene-imidazol-5-one (MIO), which is formed autocatalytically by cyclization and dehydration of residues Ala-Ser-Gly. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PAL/histidase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
