| Description | This entry represents PQQ-dependent dehydrogenases from the methanol/ethanol family, which has a phylogenetic distribution very similar to that coenzyme PQQ biosynthesis enzymes, as shown by partial phylogenetic profiling. Genes in this family often are found adjacent to the PQQ biosynthesis genes themselves. An unusual, strained disulphide bond between adjacent Cys residues contributes to PQQ-binding, as does a Trp residue that is part of a PQQ enzyme repeat (see ). Characterised members include the dehydrogenase subunit of a membrane-anchored, three subunit alcohol (ethanol) dehydrogenase of Gluconobacter oxydans (Gluconobacter suboxydans), a homodimeric ethanol dehydrogenase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the large subunit of an alpha2/beta2 heterotetrameric methanol dehydrogenase in Methylobacterium extorquens. | Name | PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase, methanol/ethanol family |
| Short Name | PQQ_MeOH/EtOH_DH | Type | Family |
