We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.
Amos Bairoch

Description

The following dehydrogenases have been shown [1] to be evolutionary related:

  • Mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.17) (gene mtlD), which catalyzes the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol 1-phosphate into fructose 6-phosphate.
  • Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.67) (gene mtlK), which catalyzes the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol into fructose.
  • Mannonate oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.57) (fructuronate reductase) (gene uxuB), which catalyzes the NAD-dependent reduction of fructuronate into mannonate.
  • Escherichia coli hypothetical protein ydfI.
  • Escherichia coli hypothetical protein yeiQ.
  • Yeast hypothetical protein YEL070w.

As a signature pattern, we selected a conserved region located in the central section of these enzymes.

Last update:

November 1997 / Pattern and text revised.
