UniProt functional annotation for P9WPY3

UniProt code: P9WPY3.

Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
 
Function: Catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of shikimic acid using ATP as a cosubstrate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483005, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17020768}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + shikimate = 3-phosphoshikimate + ADP + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13121, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:36208, ChEBI:CHEBI:145989, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.1.71;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583379}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583379};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=410 uM for shikimate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054870}; KM=83 uM for ATP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054870};
Pathway: Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; chorismate biosynthesis; chorismate from D-erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate: step 5/7.
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11483005, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12054870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15358538, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16834327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17020768, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17183161}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Domain: Consists of three domains: the CORE domain which forms the binding site for nucleotides, the LID domain which closes over the active site upon ATP or shikimate binding, and the substrate-binding domain which functions to recognize and bind shikimate.
Miscellaneous: The phosphoryl transfer proceeds by an in-line associative mechanism. The random sequential binding of shikimate and nucleotide is associated with domain movements that suggest a synergic mechanism by which binding of the first substrate may enhance the affinity for the second substrate.
Miscellaneous: Was identified as a high-confidence drug target.
Similarity: Belongs to the shikimate kinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
