EC 1.1.3.50

Accepted name: C-glycoside oxidase

Reaction: carminate + O2 = 3'-dehydrocarminate + H2O2

Glossary: carminate = 7-carboxy-4,6-dihydroxy-8-methyl-9,10-dioxo-2-[(2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]anthracene-1,3-diolate

Other name(s): carA (gene name)

Systematic name: carminate:oxygen 3'-oxidoreductase (H2O2-forming)

Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). This bacterial enzyme participates in degradation of certain C-glucosides by catalysing the oxidation of the hydroxyl group at position 3 of the glycose moiety. The enzyme was found active with assorted C-glycosides, such as carminate, mangiferin, and C6-glycosylated flavonoids, but not with D-glucose or C8-glycosylated flavonoids.

EC 2.3.1.309

Accepted name: [β-tubulin]-L-lysine N-acetyltransferase

Reaction: acetyl-CoA + a [β-tubulin]-L-lysine = CoA + a [β-tubulin]-N6-acetyl-L-lysine

Other name(s): San; NatE; NAA50 (gene name)

Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:[β-tubulin]-L-lysine N6-acetyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme acetylates L-lysine at position 252 of β-tubulin, which is located at the interface of α/β-tubulin heterodimers and interacts with the phosphate group of the α-tubulin-bound GTP. The acetylation is thought to attenuate tubulin incorporation into microtubules. The enzyme catalysing this activity (NAA50) also catalyses the acetylation of certain N-terminal methionyl residues. That activity is classified as EC 2.3.1.258, N-terminal methionine Nα-acetyltransferase NatE. cf. EC 2.3.1.108, α-tubulin N-acetyltransferase.

EC 2.7.7.108

Accepted name: protein adenylyltransferase

Reaction: (1) ATP + a [protein]-L-serine = diphosphate + a [protein]-O-(5′-adenylyl)-L-serine
(1) ATP + a [protein]-L-threonine = diphosphate + a [protein]-O-(5′-adenylyl)-L-threonine
(1) ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = diphosphate + a [protein]-O-(5′-adenylyl)-L-tyrosine

Other name(s): AMPylase; selO (gene name); FMP40 (gene name); SELENOO (gene name); IbpA; VopS; DrrA; FICD (gene name)

Systematic name: [protein] L-serine/L-threonine/L-tyrosine adenylyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme, commonly referred to as AMPylase, transfers an adenylyl (adenosine 5'-phosphate) group from ATP to L-serine, L-threonine, and L-tyrosine residues in its target protein substrates. AMPylation is found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In bacteria AMPylases are abundant enzymes that either regulate the function of endogenous bacterial proteins or are translocated into host cells to hijack host cell signalling processes. Metazoans AMPylases are either enzymes containing a conserved Fic domain that primarily modify the ER-resident chaperone BiP, or mitochondrial selenocysteine-containing proteins (SelO) involved in redox signalling.

[EC 3.1.3.81 Transferred entry: diacylglycerol diphosphate phosphatase. Now EC 3.6.1.75, diacylglycerol diphosphate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.81 created 2010, deleted 2022)]

EC 3.6.1.75

Accepted name: diacylglycerol diphosphate phosphatase

Reaction: 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-diphosphate + H2O = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + phosphate

Other name(s): DGPP phosphatase; DGPP phosphohydrolase; DPP1; DPPL1; DPPL2; PAP2; pyrophosphate phosphatase

Systematic name: 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments: The bifunctional enzyme catalyses the dephosphorylation of diacylglycerol diphosphate to phosphatidate and the subsequent dephosphorylation of phosphatidate to diacylglycerol (cf. phosphatidate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4)). It regulates intracellular levels of diacylglycerol diphosphate and phosphatidate, phospholipid molecules believed to play a signalling role in stress response [6]. The phosphatase activity of the bifunctional enzyme is Mg2+-independent and N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive and is distinct from the Mg2+-dependent and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive enzyme EC 3.1.3.4 (phosphatidate phosphatase) [5].The diacylglycerol pyrophosphate phosphatase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is induced by zinc depletion, by inositol supplementation, and when cells enter the stationary phase [4].
