Funded Activity Summary

Structural studies of mammalian dimeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenase and L-xylulose reductase. The aim of the research is determine the structures and mechanisms of mammalian dimeric dihrodiol dehydrogenase and L-xylulose reductase. Mammalian dihydrodiol dehydrogenase exists in multiple forms in mammalian tissues. The dimeric form of the enzyme has a primary structure distinct from previously known mammalian enzymes and may constitute a novel protein family with prokaryotic proteins. L-Xylulose reductase is an enzyme of the uronate cycle that accounts for about 5% of the total glucose metabolism per day in humans. We propose to determine the first structure of a L-xylulose reductase.
