Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase, conserved site |
Description: | Imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase is the enzyme that catalyses the seventh step in the biosynthesis of histidine in bacteria, fungi and plants. In most organisms it is a monofunctional protein of about 22 to 29 kD. In some bacteria such as Escherichia coli, it is the C-terminal domain of a bifunctional protein that include a histidinol-phosphatase domain [].Both signature patterns in this entry cover two consecutive, conserved histidine residues. | Short Name: | ImidazoleglycerP_deHydtase_CS |
