UniProt functional annotation for Q8EEB0

UniProt code: Q8EEB0.

Organism: Shewanella oneidensis (strain MR-1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Alteromonadales; Shewanellaceae; Shewanella.
 
Function: Catalyzes the first step of the biosynthesis of Kdo8N (8- amino-3,8-dideoxy-D-manno-octulosonate) from Kdo (3-deoxy-D-manno- octulosonate). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate + O2 = 3,8-dideoxy-8- oxo-alpha-D-manno-octulosonate + H2O2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:46888, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16240, ChEBI:CHEBI:85986, ChEBI:CHEBI:87090; EC=1.1.3.48; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030};
Cofactor: Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030}; Note=Shows highest activity with Mn(2+) and Fe(2+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030};
Activity regulation: Inhibited by EDTA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030}.
Pathway: Bacterial outer membrane biogenesis; lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030}.
Disruption phenotype: A double kdnA/kdnB deletion mutant shows increased sensitivity to polymyxin B and bile salts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413030}.
Miscellaneous: Kdo8N is found in lipopolysaccharides of members of the Shewanella genus. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23413030}.
Similarity: Belongs to the iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
