1.1.1.434

Accepted name:

2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate 4-dehydrogenase

Reaction:

2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate + NAD⁺ = 2,4-didehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate + NADH + H⁺

Glossary:

2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate = (4S,5S)-4,5-dihydroxy-2-oxohexanoate
2,4-didehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate = (5S)-5-hydroxy-2,4-dioxohexanoate

Systematic name:

2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-fuconate:NAD⁺ 4-oxidoreductase

Comments:

The enzyme, originally described from the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, participates in an L-fucose degradation pathway. It can also act on 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-galactonate and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate.
