PROSITE documentation PDOC00815Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase signature
Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.5) is a FMN flavoprotein involved in the de novo synthesis of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and pyridoxal phosphate. It oxidizes pyridoxamine-5-P (PMP) and pyridoxine-5-P (PNP) to pyridoxal-5-P. The sequences of the enzyme from bacterial (genes pdxH or fprA) [1] and fungal (gene PDX3) [2] sources show that this protein has been highly conserved throughout evolution.
PdxH is evolutionary related [3] to one of the enzymes in the phenazine biosynthesis protein pathway, phzD (also known as phzG).
As a signature pattern, we selected a highly conserved region located in the C-terminal part of these enzymes.
