UniProt functional annotation for Q9HY79

UniProt code: Q9HY79.

Organism: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC 15692 / DSM 22644 / CIP 104116 / JCM 14847 / LMG 12228 / 1C / PRS 101 / PAO1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas.
 
Function: Iron-storage protein. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000623}.
 
Function: Iron-storage protein, whose ferroxidase center binds Fe(2+) ions, oxidizes them by dioxygen to Fe(3+), and participates in the subsequent Fe(3+) oxide mineral core formation within the central cavity of the protein complex. {ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=4 Fe(2+) + 4 H(+) + O2 = 4 Fe(3+) + 2 H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11148, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:29034; EC=1.16.3.1; Evidence={ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560};
Cofactor: Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00001962};
Similarity: Belongs to the bacterioferritin family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00008093, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR002560, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000623}.
