Description | This entry includes a bacterial family of homodimeric ethanol dehydrogenases that utilize pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as a cofactor [ ]. It represents proteins whose expression may be induced by ethanol, and which are similar to quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenases, but have higher specificities for ethanol and other primary and secondary alcohols. Dehydrogenases with PQQ cofactors, such as ethanol, methanol, and membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenases, form an 8-bladed β-propeller [, ].Characterised proteins in this entry includes QedA from Pseudomonas putida [ , ] and Boh from Thauera butanivorans[ ]. | Name | PQQ-dependent type I alcohol dehydrogenase |
Short Name | ADHI | Type | Family |
