| UniProt functional annotation for O58403 | |||
| UniProt code: O58403. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus horikoshii (strain ATCC 700860 / DSM 12428 / JCM 9974 / NBRC 100139 / OT-3). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-aspartate = D-aspartate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14973, ChEBI:CHEBI:29990, ChEBI:CHEBI:29991; EC=5.1.1.13; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17847084}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Weakly inhibited by citrate, but not by asparagine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17847084}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.7 mM for L-aspartate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17847084}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. The existence of the interchain disulfide bond seen in the crystal structures is uncertain, but disulfide bonds have been reported for cytoplasmic proteins from thermophiles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12051922, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17847084, ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the aspartate/glutamate racemases family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
