(R)-lactate hydro-lyase
The enzyme, described from the fungi Candida albicans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, converts 2-oxopropanal to (R)-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. The other known route for this conversion is the two-step GSH-dependent pathway catalysed by EC 4.4.1.5 (lactoylglutathione lyase) and EC 3.1.2.6 (hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase).
purified glyoxalase III can catalyse the conversion of methylglyoxal into S-D-lactoylglutathione in the presence of GSH or S-D-lactoylglutathione into D-lactate, cf. EC 4.4.1.5

sensitivity of glyoxalase III is special and might relate to the thiol group that is essential for its activity and possibly to the binding of iron adjacent to the active site thiol

S-methylglutathione and S-octylglutathione, even at concentrations of 20 mM and 0.25 mM respectively, have no inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli glyoxalase III
S-methylglutathione and S-octylglutathione, even at concentrations of 20 mM and 0.25 mM respectively, have no inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli glyoxalase III
glyoxalase III is active over a wide range of pH with no sharp pH optimum, sharp decrease in reaction rate occurs below pH 5.0, 20.25% of maximal activity at pH 10.0
the apparent glyoxalase activities of DJ-1 and Hsp31 reflect their deglycase activities. YhbO also displays apparent glyoxalase activities which reflect their deglycase activities, EC 3.5.1.124. The kinetics of methylglyoxal degradation by YhbO display a lag, which is likely required for spontaneous formation of the substrate, glycated YhbO. The stimulation by bovine serum albumin of the degradation of methylglyoxal and glyoxal by the deglycases is consistent with their substrates being glycated proteins (glycated YhbO, YajL or BSA) instead of glyoxals, in accordance with YhbO being a protein deglycase rather than a glyoxalase
glyoxalase activity is completely abolished in the gene hchA-deficient strain. Stationary-phase Escherichia coli cells become more susceptible to methylgloxal when gene hchA is deleted, which can be complemented by an expression of plasmid-encoded hch. Accumulation of intracellular methylglyoxal in hchA-deficient strains
glutathione-dependent glyoxalase pathway, i.e. glyoxalase I/II, is the most important route for the in vivo detoxification of methylglyoxal. Glyoxalase III may play a critical role in conditions with limiting carbon source. The enzyme may play an important role in protecting stationary-phase cells against carbonyl toxicity
in enteric bacteria methylglyoxal is detoxified by the glutathione-dependent glyoxalase I/II system, by glyoxalase III, and by aldehyde reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase. Glyoxalase III might be important for survival of non-growing Escherichia coli cultures
the defensive glyoxalase III is inactivated by the oxidative stress imposed by the lack of superoxide dismutase, thereby exacerbating the deleterious effect of sugar oxidation
enzyme Hsp31 is a heat-inducible molecular chaperone. Hsp31 also displays glyoxalase activity that catalyses the conversion of methylglyoxal to D-lactate without an additional cofactor

The stimulation by bovine serum albumin of the degradation of methylglyoxaland glyoxal by the deglycases is consistent with their substrates being glycated proteins (glycated YhbO, YajL or BSA) instead of glyoxals, in accordance with YajL being a protein deglycase rather than a glyoxalase
Hsp31 has a putative catalytic triad consisting of Asp214, His186, and Cys185. The nucleophilic cysteine Cys185 and adjacent glutamic acid Glu77 residues are critical in enzyme catalysis, forming the core of the active site

mutagenesis studies based on evaluation of conserved catalytic residues reveals that the Cys185 and Glu77 are essential for catalysis, whereas His186 is less crucial for enzymatic function, although it participates in the catalytic process

LITERATURE
glyoxalase III is a stationary-phase enzyme. Its activity reaches a maximum at the entry into the stationary phase and remained high for at least 20 h. Glyoxalase III is regulated by rpoS
no induction of glyoxalase III by growth in the presence of methylglyoxal. Paraquat, which can increase the aerobic production of superoxide, suppresses glyoxalase III in JI132
