NTR: alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity #12314

Closed robnash closed 8 years ago

Hi,

Here is some background for the NTR

In the following paper:

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Forms D-2-Hydroxyglutarate and Couples its Degradation to D-Lactate Formation via a Cytosolic Transhydrogenase. PMID: 26774271

the yeast gene DLD2, is demonstrated to function as an D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) dehydrogenase, converting D-2HG to 2-oxoglutarate (aka alpha-ketoglutarate). In GO there is a term for 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity (GO:0047545) with synonym alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity (important for what follows), and a term for (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity (GO:0051990), a better fit since its specific for the R/D enantiomer.

Later in the paper they show that in yeast both SER3 and SER33 function as alpha-ketoglutarate reductases, catalyzing the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to D-2HG. This is the reverse reaction to the one described above. I posted this scenario to go-discuss and was advised to request a new term “alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity” and request the removal of this string as exact synonym for 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity (GO:0047545), as this is the reverse activity. I have attached figure 13 from the paper, the proposed yeast metabolic network involving these genes, in case this helps becker-kettern et al 2016 26774271

I would therefore like to request the following new function term:

Term: alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity

Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: alpha-ketoglutarate + NADH = D-2-hydroxyglutarate + NAD+

Synonyms: 2-oxoglutarate reductase activity, 2-ketoglutarate reductase activity; D-2HG reductase activity

Instance of GO:0016657 oxidoreductase activity, acting on NAD(P)H, nitrogenous group as acceptor

Definition reference: PMID: 26774271

E.C. number: I cannot find the appropriate EC number sign ExPASy

In addition, please remove the exact synonym “alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity” from term GO:0047545 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity, as this term describes the reverse activity.

Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob,

We discussed this on a recent call and decided to keep the term representing the union of the forward and reverse reactions. So what I have done is made two separate terms for each of the forward and reverse reactions. Here are the new terms:
