UniProt functional annotation for P24197

UniProt code: P24197.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: In vitro, opens the cyclic ring of dihydroxy-phenylalanine (DOPA) between carbons 4 and 5, thus producing an unstable seco-DOPA that rearranges nonenzymatically to betalamic acid. The physiological substrate is unknown. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=L-dopa + O2 = 4-(L-alanin-3-yl)-2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconate 6- semialdehyde + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21220, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:57504, ChEBI:CHEBI:57639; EC=1.13.11.29; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480};
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=7.9 mM for L-DOPA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480}; Note=kcat is 0.17 min(-1) with L-DOPA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480}; pH dependence: Optimum pH is 8.0. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480};
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666480}.
Miscellaneous: Betalamic acid is the structural unit of the betalains, natural nitrogen-containing water-soluble pigments with high colorant and bioactive properties, characteristic of plants of the order Caryophyllales. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23666480}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DODA-type extradiol aromatic ring-opening dioxygenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAC76075.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
