IUBMB CommentsXylose reductases catalyse the reduction of xylose to xylitol, the initial reaction in the fungal D-xylose degradation pathway. Most of the enzymes exhibit a strict requirement for NADPH (cf. EC 1.1.1.431, D-xylose reductase (NADPH)). Some D-xylose reductases have dual coenzyme specificity, though they still prefer NADPH to NADH (cf. EC 1.1.1.307, D-xylose reductase [NAD(P)H]). The enzyme from Candida parapsilosis is a rare example of a xylose reductase that significantly prefers NADH, with Km and Vmax values for NADH being 10-fold lower and 10-fold higher, respectively, than for NADPH.

xylitol + NAD(P)+ = D-xylose + NAD(P)H + H+
xylitol + NAD+ = D-xylose + NADH + H+
xylitol + NAD(P)+ = D-xylose + NAD(P)H + H+

enzymic mechanism in which a catalytic proton bridge from the protonated side chain of Lys80 to the carbonyl group adjacent to the hydride acceptor carbonyl facilitates the chemical reaction step. His113 contributes to positioning of the 9,10-phenanthrenequinone substrate for catalysis. Tyr51 controls release of the hydroquinone product. The proposed chemistry involves delivery of both hydrogens required for reduction of the alpha-dicarbonyl substrate to the carbonyl group undergoing stereoselective transformation. Hydride transfer from NADH probably precedes the transfer of a proton from Tyr51

substrates preferentially bind as alpha-anomers of the pyranose forms. The alpha-anomers are transformed faster, predominately leading to saturation transfer difference effects in the formed products, and can be better docked into the active site than the beta-anomer. The reduction is initiated by alpha-xylopyranose ring opening prior to hydride transfer from NADH

Candida intermedia produces two isoforms of xylose reductase: one is NADPH-dependent (monospecific xylose reductase, msXR, cf. 1.1.1.431), and another prefers NADH about 4fold over NADPH (dual specific xylose reductase, dsXR)
