Comments
This enzyme belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily, along with Drosophia alcohol dehydrogenase (S00319 in EzCatDB). This enzyme has got a catalytic triad composed of conserved residues, Ser, Tyr, and Lys. The conformation of these residues, compared to that of the NAD molecule, seems to be similar to that of the homologous enzymes. Thus, the catalytic site seems to catalyze the following reversible reactions.
(A) Hydride transfer from substrate to NAD (Dehydrogenation):
(A0) Lys156 modulates the activity (or pKa) of Tyr152 via 2'-hydroxyl group of NAD, along with the N1 atom of the nicotinamide group in NAD, whereas Ser139 modulates the pKa of hydroxyl oxygen of the substrate.
(A1) Tyr152 acts as a general base to deprotonate the hydroxyl oxygen of the substrate. Meanwhile, the hydride transfer occurs from the carbon atom with the hydroxyl group of the substrate to the C4 atom of the nicotinamide.
(B) Hydride transfer from NADH to substrate (Reduction):
(B0) Lys156 modulates the activity (or pKa) of Tyr152 via 2'-hydroxyl group of NAD(P)H, along with the N1 atom of the nicotinamide group in NADH, whereas Ser139 modulates the pKa of carbonyl oxygen of the substrate.
(B1) Tyr152 acts as a general acid to protonate the carbonyl oxygen of the substrate. Meanwhile, the hydride transfer occurs from the C4 atom of the nicotinamide to the carbonyl carbon of the substrate.
