1.1.1.375 |
| Accepted name: |
L-2-hydroxycarboxylate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] |
| Reaction: |
a (2S)-2-hydroxycarboxylate + NAD(P)+ = a 2-oxocarboxylate + NAD(P)H + H+ |
| Other name(s): |
MdhII; lactate/malate dehydrogenase |
| Systematic name: |
(2S)-2-hydroxycarboxylate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii catalyses the reversible oxidation of (2R)-3-sulfolactate and (S)-malate to 3-sulfopyruvate and oxaloacetate, respectively (note that (2R)-3-sulfolactate has the same stereochemical configuration as (2S)-2-hydroxycarboxylates) [1]. The enzyme can use both NADH and NADPH, although activity is higher with NADPH [1-3]. The oxidation of (2R)-3-sulfolactate was observed only in the presence of NADP+ [1]. The same organism also possesses an NAD+-specific enzyme with similar activity, cf. EC 1.1.1.337, L-2-hydroxycarboxylate dehydrogenase (NAD+). |
