IPR018951

Description

IPR018951 is a Fumarase C, C-terminal.

<p>Fumarase C catalyses the stereo-specific interconversion of fumarate to L-malate as part of the Krebs cycle. The full-length protein forms a tetramer with visible globular shape. FumaraseC_C is the C-terminal 65 residues referred to as domain 3. The core of the molecule consists of a bundle of 20 α-helices from the five-helix bundle of domain 2. The projections from the core of the tetramer are generated from domains 1 and 3 of each subunit [[cite:PUB00025036]]. This entry does not appear to be part of either the active site or the activation site but is helical in structure forming a little bundle.</p>

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Biological process Tricarboxylic acid cycle A nearly universal metabolic pathway in which the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A is effectively oxidized to two CO2 and four pairs of electrons are transferred to coenzymes. The acetyl group combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes successive transformations to isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate again, thus completing the cycle. In eukaryotes the tricarboxylic acid is confined to the mitochondria. See also glyoxylate cycle.
Molecular function Lyase activity Catalysis of the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. They differ from other enzymes in that two substrates are involved in one reaction direction, but only one in the other direction. When acting on the single substrate, a molecule is eliminated and this generates either a new double bond or a new ring.
