UniProt functional annotation for Q6GIL8

UniProt code: Q6GIL8.

Organism: Staphylococcus aureus (strain MRSA252).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Staphylococcaceae; Staphylococcus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate (G3P) to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) using the cofactor NAD. The first reaction step involves the formation of a hemiacetal intermediate between G3P and a cysteine residue, and this hemiacetal intermediate is then oxidized to a thioester, with concomitant reduction of NAD to NADH. The reduced NADH is then exchanged with the second NAD, and the thioester is attacked by a nucleophilic inorganic phosphate to produce BPG. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + NAD(+) + phosphate = (2R)-3- phospho-glyceroyl phosphate + H(+) + NADH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10300, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57540, ChEBI:CHEBI:57604, ChEBI:CHEBI:57945, ChEBI:CHEBI:59776; EC=1.2.1.12; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.31 mM for G3P {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151}; KM=316 mM for NAD {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151}; Note=Kcat is 70 sec(-1) for dehydrogenase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151}; pH dependence: Optimum pH is 8.7. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151};
Pathway: Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; pyruvate from D- glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate: step 1/5. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:20620151}.
Subunit: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20620151, ECO:0000269|Ref.3}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
