Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
The Gfo/Idh/MocA family includes a diverse set of oxidoreductases involved in various metabolic processes. Members of this family are characterized by their ability to catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions pivotal to the metabolism of sugars and other compounds. Functions of characterized members include the catabolism of D-apiose, the reversible reduction of scyllo-inosose to scyllo-inositol, the biosynthesis of kanosamine and aspirochlorine, and the regulation of lactose/galactose metabolic genes. The family exhibits a broad substrate specificity, with some members preferring NADPH as a cofactor, while others utilize NAD. The family's involvement in antibiotic and antifungal compound biosynthesis highlights its potential importance in microbial defense mechanisms. The regulatory roles in sugar metabolism suggest additional layers of complexity in gene expression control within this family.
