UniProt functional annotation for P07342

UniProt code: P07342.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + 2 pyruvate = (2S)-2-acetolactate + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:25249, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:58476; EC=2.2.1.6;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000250};
Cofactor: Name=thiamine diphosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58937; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 thiamine pyrophosphate per subunit. {ECO:0000250};
Activity regulation: The regulatory subunit ILV6 stimulates enzymatic activity seven- to tenfold and confers sensitivity to inhibition by valine and activation by ATP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10213630}.
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-isoleucine biosynthesis; L- isoleucine from 2-oxobutanoate: step 1/4.
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-valine biosynthesis; L-valine from pyruvate: step 1/4.
Subunit: Homodimer. The acetolactate synthase complex contains the catalytic regulatory subunit ILV2 and the regulatory small subunit ILV6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12496246}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion.
Miscellaneous: Contains 1 molecule of FAD per monomer. The role of this cofactor is not clear considering that the reaction does not involve redox chemistry.
Miscellaneous: Present with 31900 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the TPP enzyme family. {ECO:0000305}.
