Mammalian dimeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenase is identical with d-xylose dehydrogenase and belongs to a protein family with prokaryotic proteins including glucose-fructose oxidoreductase. Of the conserved residues in this family, either His-79 or Tyr-180 of d-xylose/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase has been proposed to be involved in the catalytic function. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to examine the roles of the two residues of the monkey enzyme. A mutant, Y180F, was almost inactive, but, similarly to the wild-type enzyme, exhibited high affinity for NADP(H) and fluorescence energy transfer upon binding of NADPH. The H79Q mutation had kinetically largest effects on K(d) (>7-fold increase) and K(m) (>25-fold increase) for NADP(H), and eliminated the fluorescence energy transfer. Interestingly, the dehydrogenase activity of this mutant was potently inhibited with a 190-fold increase in the K(m) for NADP(+) by high ionic strength, which activated the activity of the wild-type enzyme. These results suggest a critical role of Tyr-180 in the catalytic function of this class of enzymes, in addition to functions of His-79 in the coenzyme binding and chemical steps of the reaction.
