| UniProt functional annotation for P27988 | |||
| UniProt code: P27988. |
| Organism: | Moorella thermoacetica (Clostridium thermoaceticum). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Thermoanaerobacterales; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Moorella group; Moorella. | |
| Function: | The beta subunit generates CO from CO(2), while the alpha subunit (this protein) combines the CO with CoA and a methyl group to form acetyl-CoA. The methyl group, which is incorporated into acetyl- CoA, is transferred to the alpha subunit by a corrinoid iron-sulfur protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12386327}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=[Co(I) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + acetyl-CoA + H(+) = [methyl- Co(III) corrinoid Fe-S protein] + CO + CoA; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:45212, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11110, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11111, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17245, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288, ChEBI:CHEBI:85033, ChEBI:CHEBI:85035; EC=2.3.1.169; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12386327}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ni cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:25516; Note=Binds 2 nickel ions per subunit.; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=[4Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49883; Note=Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit.; | |
| Subunit: | Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains. | |
