General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution UDP-hexose 4-epimerases belong to the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase group 2, which typically show a two-domain structure Marinithermus hydrothermalis
additional information structure homology modeling, overview. The Marinithermus enzyme makes use of a TxnYx3K catalytic triad rather than the usual SxnYx3K triad. The enzyme's catalytic triad contains a threonine residue (Thr117) instead of the usual serine, the gatekeeper residue is responsible for the substrate specificity, the two consecutive glycine residues, Gly118 and Gly119, are a unique feature of GalE enzymes from Thermus species and important for activity as well as affinity Marinithermus hydrothermalis
