Abstract

The aldo-keto reductase family includes a number of related monomeric NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases, such as aldehyde reductase, aldose reductase, prostaglandin F synthase, xylose reductase, rho crystallin, and many others [PubMed2498333]. All possess a similar structure, with a beta-alpha-beta fold characteristic of nucleotide binding proteins [PubMed2105951]. The fold comprises a parallel beta-8/alpha-8-barrel, which contains a novel NADP-binding motif. The binding site is located in a large, deep, elliptical pocket in the C-terminal end of the beta sheet, the substrate being bound in an extended conformation. The hydrophobic nature of the pocket favours aromatic and apolar substrates over highly polar ones [PubMed1621098].

Binding of the NADPH coenzyme causes a massive conformational change, reorienting a loop, effectively locking the coenzyme in place. This binding is more similar to FAD- than to NAD(P)-binding oxidoreductases [PubMed1447221].

Some proteins of this entry contain a K+ ion channel beta chain regulatory domain; these are reported to have oxidoreductase activity [PubMed10884227].

Alignments of sequences to

Alignments of sequences to 21 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the superfamily level 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequences may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own.


It is possible to browse and view the proteins in the genomes which have different combinations of domains including a NAD(P)-linked oxidoreductase domain. Click on the 'Domain Combinations' icon.


To view the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom click on the 'TaxViz' icon above. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Undirected domain occurrence networks are available for all superfamilies. Nodes in these networks represent genomes. Connections between nodes represent the presence of domain architectures, which contain the superfamily of interest, in both genomes.

There are 21 hidden Markov models representing the NAD(P)-linked oxidoreductase superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be viewed by clicking on the icon above.
