FunFam 151: D-arabinitol dehydrogenase 1

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
D-arabinitol dehydrogenase (NADP(+)). [EC: 1.1.1.287]
(1) D-arabinitol + NADP(+) = D-xylulose + NADPH. (2) D-arabinitol + NADP(+) = D-ribulose + NADPH.
  • The enzyme from the rust fungus Uromyces fabae can use D-arabinitol and D-mannitol as substrates in the forward direction and D-xylulose, D-ribulose and, to a lesser extent, D-fructose as substrates in the reverse direction.
  • This enzyme carries out the reactions of both EC 1.1.1.11 and EC 1.1.1.250, but unlike them, uses NADP(+) rather than NAD(+) as cofactor.
  • D-arabinitol is capable of quenching reactive oxygen species involved in defense reactions of the host plant.
