Glycerol (YMDB00283)

Identification
YMDB IDYMDB00283
NameGlycerol
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionGlycerol, also known as glycerin or fumarate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Glycerol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glycerol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Glycerol is a potentially toxic compound.

6. NADPH-dependent methylglyoxal reductase GRE2
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the irreversible reduction of the cytotoxic compound methylglyoxal (MG) to (R)-lactaldehyde as an alternative to detoxification of MG by glyoxalase I GLO1. MG is synthesized via a bypath of glycolysis from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and is believed to play a role in cell cycle regulation and stress adaptation
Gene Name:
GRE2
Uniprot ID:
Q12068
Molecular weight:
38169.19922
Reactions
Lactaldehyde + NADP(+) → methylglyoxal + NADPH.
3-methylbutanol + NAD(P)+ → 3-methylbutanal + NAD(P)H + H+
Protein Details
7. NADPH-dependent aldose reductase GRE3
General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Reduces the cytotoxic compound methylglyoxal (MG) to (R)-lactaldehyde similar to GRE2. MG is synthesized via a bypath of glycolysis from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and is believed to play a role in cell cycle regulation and stress adaptation. In pentose-fermenting yeasts, aldose reductase catalyzes the reduction of xylose into xylitol. The purified enzyme catalyzes this reaction, but the inability of S.cerevisiae to grow on xylose as sole carbon source indicates that the physiological function is more likely methylglyoxal reduction
Gene Name:
GRE3
Uniprot ID:
P38715
