UniProt functional annotation for P0A6T9

UniProt code: P0A6T9.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8375392}.
 
Cofactor: Name=(R)-lipoate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:83088; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00272}; Note=Binds 1 lipoyl cofactor covalently. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00272};
Subunit: The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, T, L and H. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8375392}.
Similarity: Belongs to the GcvH family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00272}.
