Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase C-terminal dimerisation region
This domain represents one of the two dimerisation regions of the protein, located at the edge of the dimer interface, at the C-terminus, being the last three beta strands, S6, S7, and S8 along with the last three residues to the end. In Swiss:P21159 ...
This domain represents one of the two dimerisation regions of the protein, located at the edge of the dimer interface, at the C-terminus, being the last three beta strands, S6, S7, and S8 along with the last three residues to the end. In Swiss:P21159, S6 runs from residues 178-192, S7 from 200-206 and S8 from 211-215. the extended loop, of residues 167-177 may well be involved in the pocket formed between the two dimers that positions the FMN molecule [1].To date, the only time functional oxidase or phenazine biosynthesis activities have been experimentally demonstrated is when the sequences contain both Pfam:PF01243 and Pfam:PF10590. It is unknown the role performed by each domain in bringing about molecular functions of either oxidase or phenazine activity [2].

Family of domains with putative PNPOx function. Family members were predicted to encode pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase, based on sequence similarity. However, there is no experimental data to validate the predicted activity and purified proteins, such as Swiss:Q06199 and its paralogs, do not possess this activity, nor do they bind to flavin mononucleotide (FMN). To date, the only time functional oxidase activity has been experimentally demonstrated is when the sequences contain both Pfam:PF01243 and Pfam:PF10590. Moreover, some of the family members that contain both domains have been shown to be involved in phenazine biosynthesis. While some molecular function has been experimentally validated for the proteins containing both domains, the role performed by each domain on its own is unknown [1].
Escherichia coli pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase is the enzyme catalysing the final step in the synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, a vital cofactor in many metabolic processes including amino acid metabolism. This means that the synthetic pathway is of great importance to the survival of the bacteria. The enzyme is also present in higher organisms, and the Escherichia coli form is expected to show significant sequence and structural homology to the mammalian form. Of particular interest is the second binding site of PLP which protects the product of the reaction from release into the cell so it can be transferred directly onto the enzymes that require it.
