UniProt functional annotation for Q739M9

UniProt code: Q739M9.

Organism: Bacillus cereus (strain ATCC 10987 / NRS 248).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group.
 
Function: Metallothiol transferase which confers resistance to fosfomycin by catalyzing the addition of a thiol cofactor to fosfomycin. L-cysteine is probably the physiological thiol donor. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01512}.
 
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01512};
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01512}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01512}.
Similarity: Belongs to the fosfomycin resistance protein family. FosB subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01512}.
