Structural highlights
Function
NSAR_THET8 Acts as a N-succinylamino acid racemase (NSAR) that catalyzes the racemization of N-succinyl-L-phenylglycine (PubMed:24872444). Also converts 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC) to 2-succinylbenzoate (OSB) (PubMed:24872444). Catalyzes both N-succinylamino acid racemization and OSB synthesis at equivalent rates (PubMed:24872444). However, NSAR activity is probably the protein's biological function, because menaquinone biosynthesis genes are missing in this species (Probable).[1] [2]
