Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor
Specific function:
Fermentative lactate dehydrogenase
Gene Name:
ldhA
Locus Tag:
PA0927
Molecular weight:
35.8 kDa
Reactions
(R)-lactate + NAD(+) = pyruvate + NADH.
General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Functions as a holding molecular chaperone (holdase) which stabilizes unfolding intermediates and rapidly releases them in an active form once stress has abated. Plays an important role in protecting cells from severe heat shock and starvation, as well as in acid resistance of stationary-phase cells. It uses temperature-induced exposure of structured hydrophobic domains to capture and stabilizes early unfolding and denatured protein intermediates under severe thermal stress. Catalyzes the conversion of methylglyoxal (MG) to D-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. It can also use phenylglyoxal as substrate. Glyoxalase activity protects cells against dicarbonyl stress. Displays an aminopeptidase activity that is specific against peptide substrates with alanine or basic amino acids (lysine, arginine) at N-terminus.
