| UniProt functional annotation for P9WLL7 | |||
| UniProt code: P9WLL7. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the F420H(2)-dependent reduction of biliverdin- IXalpha at C10 position, leading to bilirubin-IXalpha, a potent antioxidant. As biliverdin-IXalpha is produced in high amounts in macrophages infected with M.tuberculosis, its reduction by Rv2074 may play a role in protecting mycobacteria against oxidative stress, aiding the persistence of M.tuberculosis infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=bilirubin IXalpha + H(+) + oxidized coenzyme F420-(gamma- Glu)(n) = biliverdin IXalpha + reduced coenzyme F420-(gamma-Glu)(n); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:56092, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12939, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57977, ChEBI:CHEBI:57991, ChEBI:CHEBI:133980, ChEBI:CHEBI:139511; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=8.0 uM for biliverdin {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}; Note=kcat is 0.072 sec(-1). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27364382}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell surface {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27364382}. Secreted {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27364382}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the F420H(2)-dependent biliverdin reductase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
