UniProt functional annotation for P22619

UniProt code: P22619.

Organism: Paracoccus denitrificans.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhodobacterales; Rhodobacteraceae; Paracoccus.
 
Function: Methylamine dehydrogenase carries out the oxidation of methylamine. Electrons are passed from methylamine dehydrogenase to amicyanin.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + methylamine + 2 oxidized [amicyanin] = formaldehyde + 2 H(+) + NH4(+) + 2 reduced [amicyanin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:30207, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11100, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11101, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16842, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:29036, ChEBI:CHEBI:49552, ChEBI:CHEBI:59338; EC=1.4.9.1;
Cofactor: Name=tryptophan tryptophylquinone residue; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:20251; Note=Uses a protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor.;
Pathway: One-carbon metabolism; methylamine degradation; formaldehyde from methylamine: step 1/1.
Subunit: Heterotetramer of two light and two heavy chains. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1599920}.
Subcellular location: Periplasm.
Ptm: Predicted to be exported by the Tat system. The position of the signal peptide cleavage has not been experimentally proven.
Ptm: Tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) is formed by oxidation of the indole ring of a tryptophan to form tryptophylquinone followed by covalent cross-linking with another tryptophan residue.
Similarity: Belongs to the aromatic amine dehydrogenase light chain family. {ECO:0000305}.
