Acireductone dioxygenase

UniProtKB accession:  Q99JT9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes 2 different reactions between oxygen and the acireductone 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene) depending upon the metal bound in the active site (PubMed:26858196). Fe-containing acireductone dioxygenase (Fe-ARD) produces formate and 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate (KMTB), the alpha-ketoacid precursor of methionine in the methionine recycle pathway (PubMed:26858196). Ni-containing acireductone dioxygenase (Ni-ARD) produces methylthiopropionate, carbon monoxide and formate, and does not lie on the methionine recycle pathway (PubMed:26858196). Also down-regulates cell migration mediated by MMP14 (By similarity).
