UniProt functional annotation for Q89FH0

UniProt code: Q89FH0.

Organism: Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens (strain JCM 10833 / BCRC 13528 / IAM 13628 / NBRC 14792 / USDA 110).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Bradyrhizobiaceae; Bradyrhizobium.
 
Function: Catalyzes the dehydration of D-tartrate to oxaloacetate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=(S,S)-tartrate = H2O + oxaloacetate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18289, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16452, ChEBI:CHEBI:30927; EC=4.2.1.81; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653};
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.086 mM for D-tartrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653}; Note=kcat is 7.3 sec(-1) for D-tartrate.;
Subunit: Homooctamer; tetramer of dimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17144653}.
Miscellaneous: Reaction mechanism is a simple extension of the two-step reaction catalyzed by other members of the family: Lys-184 initiates the reaction by abstraction of the alpha-proton to generate a Mg(2+)- stabilized enediolate intermediate, and the vinylogous beta-elimination of the 3-OH group is general acid-catalyzed by the His-322, accomplishing the anti-elimination of water. The replacement of the leaving group by solvent-derived hydrogen is stereo-random, suggesting that the enol tautomer of oxaloacetate is the product (PubMed:17144653). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17144653}.
Similarity: Belongs to the mandelate racemase/muconate lactonizing enzyme family. {ECO:0000305}.
