UniProt functional annotation for P9WFX5

UniProt code: P9WFX5.

Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
 
Function: Catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoribosyl group of 5- phosphorylribose-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) to anthranilate to yield N-(5'- phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate (PRA).
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=diphosphate + N-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)anthranilate = 5- phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + anthranilate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11768, ChEBI:CHEBI:16567, ChEBI:CHEBI:18277, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:58017; EC=2.4.2.18; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00211};
