1.1.1.307

Accepted name:

D-xylose reductase [NAD(P)H]

Reaction:

xylitol + NAD(P)⁺ = D-xylose + NAD(P)H + H⁺

Other name(s):

XylR; msXR; dsXR; dual specific xylose reductase; NAD(P)H-dependent xylose reductase; xylose reductase (ambiguous); D-xylose reductase (ambiguous)

Systematic name:

xylitol:NAD(P)⁺ oxidoreductase

Comments:

Xylose reductases catalyse the reduction of xylose to xylitol, the initial reaction in the fungal D-xylose degradation pathway. Most of the enzymes exhibit a strict requirement for NADPH [cf. EC 1.1.1.431, D-xylose reductase (NADPH)]. However, a few D-xylose reductases, such as those from Neurospora crassa [5], Yamadazyma tenuis [2,3], Scheffersomyces stipitis [1], and the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum [4,7], have dual cosubstrate specificity, though they still prefer NADPH to NADH. Very rarely the enzyme prefers NADH [cf. EC 1.1.1.430, D-xylose reductase (NADH)].
