This TIM alpha/beta barrel structure is found in xylose isomerase (Swiss:P19148) and in endonuclease IV (Swiss:P12638, EC:3.1.21.2). This domain is also found in the N termini of bacterial myo-inositol catabolism proteins. These are involved in the myo-inositol catabolism pathway, and is required for growth on myo-inositol in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae [1].
This domain is one of two barrel-shaped regions that together form the active enzyme, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase, EC:1.13.11.27. As can be deduced from the disposition of the various Glyoxalase families, _2, _3 and _4 in Pfam, Pfam:PF009 ...
This domain is one of two barrel-shaped regions that together form the active enzyme, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase, EC:1.13.11.27. As can be deduced from the disposition of the various Glyoxalase families, _2, _3 and _4 in Pfam, Pfam:PF00903, Pfam:PF12681, Pfam:PF13468, Pfam:PF13669, these two regions are similar to be indicative of a gene-duplication event. At the individual sequence level slight differences in conformation have given rise to slightly different functions. In the case of UniProt:P80064, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase catalyses the formation of homogentisate from 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, and the pyruvate part of the HPPD substrate (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate), derived from L-tyrosine, and the O2 molecule occupy the three free coordination sites of the catalytic iron atom in the C-terminal domain. In plants and photosynthetic bacteria, the tyrosine degradation pathway is crucial because homogentisate, a tyrosine degradation product, is a precursor for the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments, such as quinones or tocopherols [1].
