| Other name(s): |
glyceraldehyde oxidoreductase |
| Systematic name: |
D-glyceraldehyde:acceptor oxidoreductase (FAD-containing) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius catalyses the oxidation of D-glyceraldehyde in the nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway. With 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol as artificial electron acceptor, the enzyme shows a broad substrate range, but is most active with D-glyceraldehyde. It is not known which acceptor is utilized in vivo. The iron-sulfur protein contains FAD and molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide. |
