FunFam 34068: Oxidoreductase, zinc-binding dehydrogenase family

There are 9 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
NADPH:quinone reductase. [EC: 1.6.5.5]
NADPH + 2 quinone = NADP(+) + 2 semiquinone.
  • Specific for NADPH.
  • Catalyzes the one-electron reduction of certain quinones, with the orthoquinones 1,2-naphthoquinone and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone being the best substrates.
  • Dicoumarol (cf. EC 1.6.5.2) and nitrofurantoin are competitive inhibitors with respect to the quinone substrate.
  • The semiquinone free-radical product may be non-enzymically reduced to the hydroquinone or oxidized back to quinone in the presence of O(2).
  • Abundant in the lens of the eye of some mammalian species.

Alcohol dehydrogenase. [EC: 1.1.1.1]
(1) An alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH. (2) A secondary alcohol + NAD(+) = a ketone + NADH.

  • Alk-2-enals of shorter chain have lower affinities.
  • Exhibits high activities also for alk-2-enones such as but-3-en-2-one and pent-3-en-2-one.
  • Inactive with cyclohex-2-en-1-one and 12-oxophytodienoic acid.
  • Involved in the detoxification of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones (cf. EC 1.3.1.102).

Curcumin reductase. [EC: 1.3.1.n3]
Tetrahydrocurcumin + 2 NADP(+) = curcumin + 2 NADPH.
  • The enzyme, from the bacterium Escherichia coli is also active with 3-octene-2-one (59.7%), 3-hepten-2-one (28%), and resveratrol (14.8%).

15-oxoprostaglandin 13-reductase. [EC: 1.3.1.48]
11-alpha-hydroxy-9,15-dioxoprost-5-enoate + NAD(P)(+) = (5Z)-(13E)-11- alpha-hydroxy-9,15-dioxoprosta-5,13-dienoate + NAD(P)H.
  • Reduces 15-oxoprostaglandins to 13,14-dihydro derivatives.
  • The enzyme from placenta is specific for NAD(+).

Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase. [EC: 1.3.1.3]
(1) 5-beta-cholestan-3-one + NADP(+) = cholest-4-en-3-one + NADPH. (2) 17,21-dihydroxy-5-beta-pregnane-3,11,20-trione + NADP(+) = cortisone + NADPH.
  • The enzyme from human efficiently catalyzes the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5-beta-reduced metabolites; it can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, but to a lesser extent.
  • The bile acid intermediates 7-alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3- one and 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates.

(+)-pulegone reductase. [EC: 1.3.1.81]
(1) (-)-menthone + NADP(+) = (+)-pulegone + NADPH. (2) (+)-isomenthone + NADP(+) = (+)-pulegone + NADPH.
  • NADH cannot replace NADPH as reductant.
  • The Delta(8,9)-double bond of (+)-cis-isopulegone and the Delta(1,2)- double bond of (+-)-piperitone are not substrates.
  • The enzyme from peppermint (Mentha x piperita) converts (+)-pulegone into both (-)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone at a ratio of 70:30 for native enzyme but it does not catalyze the reverse reaction.

2-alkenal reductase (NADP(+)). [EC: 1.3.1.102]
An n-alkanal + NADP(+) = an alk-2-enal + NADPH.

  • Involved in the detoxification of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones.
  • Has very low activity with NAD as reductant (cf. EC 1.3.1.74).

Protein-N(pi)-phosphohistidine--D-mannose phosphotransferase. [EC: 2.7.1.191]
[Protein]-N(pi)-phospho-L-histidine + D-mannose(Side 1) = [protein]-L- histidine + D-mannose 6-phosphate(Side 2).
  • This enzyme is a component (known as enzyme II) of a phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent, sugar transporting phosphotransferase system (PTS).
  • The system, which is found only in prokaryotes, simultaneously transports its substrate from the periplasm or extracellular space into the cytoplasm and phosphorylates it.
  • The phosphate donor, which is shared among the different systems, is a phospho-carrier protein of low molecular mass that has been phosphorylated by EC 2.7.3.9.
  • Enzyme II, on the other hand, is specific for a particular substrate, although in some cases alternative substrates can be transported with lower efficiency.
  • The reaction involves a successive transfer of the phosphate group to several amino acids within the enzyme before the final transfer to the substrate.
  • Formerly EC 2.7.1.69.
