UniProt functional annotation for Q9A6Q5

UniProt code: Q9A6Q5.

Organism: Caulobacter vibrioides (strain ATCC 19089 / CB15) (Caulobacter crescentus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Caulobacterales; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacter.
 
Function: Catalyzes the synthesis of the hydroxymethylpyrimidine phosphate (HMP-P) moiety of thiamine from aminoimidazole ribotide (AIR) in a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent reaction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18953358}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=5-amino-1-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole + S-adenosyl-L- methionine = 4-amino-2-methyl-5-(phosphooxymethyl)pyrimidine + 5'- deoxyadenosine + CO + formate + 3 H(+) + L-methionine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24840, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15740, ChEBI:CHEBI:17245, ChEBI:CHEBI:17319, ChEBI:CHEBI:57844, ChEBI:CHEBI:58354, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:137981; EC=4.1.99.17; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18953358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20886485};
Cofactor: Name=[4Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49883; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:18953358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25813242}; Note=Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit. The cluster is coordinated with 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18953358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25813242};
Pathway: Cofactor biosynthesis; thiamine diphosphate biosynthesis.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18953358}.
