Figure 3 Phylogenetic Tree of SDR Family with Bootstrapping values


Results/Evolution

The phylogenic tree shows a small section of the family is contained in land based higher organisms (Bos taurus through to Mus Muluscus), a smaller section is found in sea based eukaryotes (Danio rerio and Tetraodon nigroviridis) and the majority of the family is round in bacteria. The majority of bacteria found to possess this family are proteobacteria, although there are also gram positive rod (eg. bacillus) and cyanobacteria (eg. anabena). This suggests that this particular family has been present for a long time and has evolved from bacteria, most likely proteobacteria.

Results/structure

DHRS1 contain α helices β-sheet

Comparison of DHRS1 to 3-OXOACYL-(ACYL-CARRIER-PROTEIN) REDUCTASE its closest structurally related protein, finds that whilst it shares only 27% of its sequence, it is structurally very similar (Fig 2). They share many structural features including the central β-sheet region and many α helices. Key conserved residues such as the tyrosine shown are also in very similar positions eluding to a similar function.

Structure comparison

Dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 1 has highly conserved structure compared across the SDR family.

SDR family is part of the Super Family; NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-fold domain proteins all of which have the Rossmann-fold domain, which is characterised a central β-sheet surrounded by α-helicies. This puts them in the Alpha and Beta proteins (α/β) class.

Some key residues are conserved across the entire family. Notable a Tyrosine that binds NAD(P). It is part of a larger motif (SxxxxxxxxxxxxYxxxK) that includes two other residues involved in binding NAD(P).

There is another highly conserved motif (LDVLD) involved in the initial folding of the protein. It forms part of the hydrophobic core most notably a strand of the β-sheet that is part of the Rossmann-fold. Importantly the key catalytic triad (S-Y-K) is still in the same place with the tips of the residues only moved 2-3 Angstroms.
