Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
This enzyme has three activities:ADH, ACDH, and PFL- deactivase. In aerobic conditions it acts as a hydrogen peroxide scavenger. The PFL deactivase activity catalyzes the quenching of the pyruvate-formate-lyase catalyst in an iron, NAD, and CoA dependent reaction
Gene Name:
adhE
Uniprot ID:
P0A9Q7
Molecular weight:
96126
Reactions
An alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH.
Acetaldehyde + CoA + NAD(+) = acetyl-CoA + NADH.
General function:
Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific function:
Has high formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity in the presence of glutathione and catalyzes the oxidation of normal alcohols in a reaction that is not GSH-dependent. In addition, hemithiolacetals other than those formed from GSH, including omega-thiol fatty acids, also are substrates
Gene Name:
frmA
Uniprot ID:
P25437
Molecular weight:
39359
Reactions
S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione + NAD(P)(+) = S-formylglutathione + NAD(P)H.
An alcohol + NAD(+) = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH.
General function:
Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific function:
Preferred specificity is towards 1-propanol
