Type: | Domain | Name: | Mannitol dehydrogenase, N-terminal |
Description: | Mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol-1-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate [] as part of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS facilitates the vectorial translocation of metabolisable carbohydrates to formthe corresponding sugar phosphates, which are then converted to glycolytic intermediates []. Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol to fructose [].Several dehydrogenases have been shown [] to be evolutionary related, including mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase () (gene mtlD), mannitol 2-dehydrogenase () (gene mtlK); mannonate oxidoreductase () (fructuronate reductase) (gene uxuB); Escherichia colihypothetical proteins ydfI and yeiQ; and yeast hypothetical protein YEL070w. This domain has a Rossmann-type fold. | Short Name: | Mannitol_DH_N |
