Type | Domain |
Description | This domain is found at the C-terminal of the fungal protein D-arabinono-1,4-lactone oxidase , which is involved in the final step of the biosynthesis pathway of D-erythroascorbic acid, an important antioxidant and one of the virulence factors [ , ].L-gulonolactone oxidase transforms L-gulono-1,4-lactone to L-xylo-hexulonolactone, which spontaneously isomerizes to L-ascorbate. This enzyme can be found in a range of organisms from chordates and plants to Mycobacteria [ , , ].Alditol oxidase from Streptomyces coelicolor also belong to this family. It performs selective oxidation of the terminal primary hydroxyl group of several alditols [ ]. |
