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).

(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).
the glyoxalase mechanism of the DJ-1 superfamily proteins involves an enediol proton transfer mediated by a basic residue rather than a [1,2]-hydride shift. D- or L-lactate production by DJ-1 glyoxalase is simulated by molecular modeling

the enzyme belongs to the DJ-1 superfamily. DJ-1 superfamily proteins share the structural similarity, comprising central beta-strands surrounded by alpha-helices. Based on their primary sequences and 3D structures, the DJ-1 superfamily members are classified into three groups: DJ-1/YajL, YhbO/PfpI, and Hsp31/Ydr533C. The configuration of the active site of hDJ-1 is very different from that of Arabidopsis taliana atDJ-1d, apparently lacking some catalytic residues
human enzyme DJ-1 covalently bound to glyoxylate, an analogue of methylglyoxal, forms a hemithioacetal that presumably mimics an intermediate structure in catalysis of methylglyoxal to lactate. Reaction stereospecificity modelling by a molecular modeling simulation with methylglyoxal hemithioacetal superimposed on the glyoxylate hemithioacetal. The mechanism of DJ-1 glyoxalase provides a basis for understanding the His residue-based stereospecificity, overview. Enzyme structure comparisons, the presence of the conserved Glu and Cys residues is critical for the glyoxalase activity of hDJ-1
