UniProt functional annotation for Q9FD71

UniProt code: Q9FD71.

Organism: Enterococcus faecalis (Streptococcus faecalis).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Enterococcaceae; Enterococcus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the condensation of acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA). Functions in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway leading to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a key precursor for the biosynthesis of isoprenoid compounds. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=acetoacetyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA + H2O = (3S)-hydroxy-3- methylglutaryl-CoA + CoA + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10188, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43074, ChEBI:CHEBI:57286, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288; EC=2.3.3.10; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621};
Activity regulation: Is sensitive to feedback substrate inhibition by acetoacetyl-CoA. Is inactivated by hymeglusin, which also blocks the growth of E.faecalis, indicating the critical role that the mevalonate pathway plays in isoprenoid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16245942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22510038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=350 uM for acetyl-CoA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; KM=10 uM for acetoacetyl-CoA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; KM=400 uM for acetyl-CoA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; KM=0.5 uM for acetoacetyl-CoA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; Vmax=10 umol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; Vmax=5.3 umol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23794621}; pH dependence: Optimum pH is about 9.8. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122};
Pathway: Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; (R)-mevalonate biosynthesis; (R)-mevalonate from acetyl-CoA: step 2/3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10894743}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16245942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22510038}.
Similarity: Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. HMG-CoA synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
