Description

Mannitol dehydrogenases catalyse the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol-1-phosphates as part of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS facilitates the vectorial translocation of metabolisable carbohydrates to form the corresponding sugar phosphates, which are then converted to glycolytic intermediates

. Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD-dependent reduction of mannitol to fructose
[2]
. Several dehydrogenases have been shown
[2]
to be evolutionary related, including mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (
1.1.1.17
) (gene mtlD), mannitol 2-dehydrogenase (
1.1.1.67
) (gene mtlK); mannonate oxidoreductase (
1.1.1.57
) (fructuronate reductase) (gene uxuB); Escherichia coli hypothetical proteins ydfI and yeiQ; and yeast hypothetical protein YEL070w.
