| UniProt functional annotation for Q837U7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q837U7. |
| Organism: | Enterococcus faecalis (strain ATCC 700802 / V583). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Enterococcaceae; Enterococcus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of N-carbamoylputrescine to form carbamoyl phosphate and putrescine. Is involved in the degradation pathway of the polyamine agmatine. Also has weak activity with ornithine and cadaverine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22363663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4621632}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=carbamoyl phosphate + putrescine = H(+) + N- carbamoylputrescine + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21936, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:58228, ChEBI:CHEBI:58318, ChEBI:CHEBI:326268; EC=2.1.3.6; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17028272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22363663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4621632}; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21938; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17028272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22363663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4621632}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by spermidine (PubMed:116850). Inhibited by N-(phosphonoacetyl)-putrescine (PubMed:17028272, PubMed:4621632, PubMed:22363663). Inhibited by N-(phosphonoacetyl)-L-ornithine (PubMed:22363663). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:116850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17028272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22363663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4621632}. | |
