Description

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (
1.1.1.44
) (6PGD) is an oxidative carboxylase that catalyses the decarboxylating reduction of 6-phosphogluconate into ribulose 5-phosphate in the presence of NADP. This reaction is a component of the hexose mono-phosphate shunt and pentose phosphate pathways (PPP)
[1, 2]
. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic 6PGD are proteins of about 470 amino acids whose sequences are highly conserved
[3]
. The protein is a homodimer in which the monomers act independently
[2]
: each contains a large, mainly α-helical domain and a smaller β-α-β domain, containing a mixed parallel and anti-parallel 6-stranded β sheet
[2]
. NADP is bound in a cleft in the small domain, the substrate binding in an adjacent pocket
[2]
