PROSITE documentation PDOC00071Glu / Leu / Phe / Val dehydrogenases active site
Description
- Glutamate dehydrogenases (EC 1.4.1.2, EC 1.4.1.3, and EC 1.4.1.4) (GluDH) are enzymes that catalyze the NAD- or NADP-dependent reversible deamination of glutamate into α-ketoglutarate [1,2]. GluDH isozymes are generally involved with either ammonia assimilation or glutamate catabolism.
- Leucine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.9) (LeuDH) is a NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible deamination of leucine and several other aliphatic amino acids to their keto analogues [3].
- Phenylalanine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.20) (PheDH) is a NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible deamidation of L-phenylalanine into phenyl- pyruvate [4].
- Valine dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.8) (ValDH) is a NADP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible deamidation of L-valine into 3-methyl-2- oxobutanoate [5].
These dehydrogenases are structurally and functionally related. A conserved lysine residue located in a glycine-rich region has been implicated in the catalytic mechanism. The conservation of the region around this residue allows the derivation of a signature pattern for such type of enzymes.
Note:All known sequences from this family have Pro in the last position of the pattern with the exception of yeast GluDH which as Leu.
