The reaction mechanism of UGE is thought to occur via transfer of the 4'-OH hydrogen of the sugar to the nicotinamide ring of noncovalently bound NAD+, rotation of the resulting 4'-ketopyranose intermediate in the active site, and transfer of the hydride from the nicotinamide ring of NADH back to C-4 of the sugar.

evolution
-
UDP-hexose 4-epimerases belong to the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase group 2, which typically show a two-domain structure
evolution
-
the GalE enzyme is a member of the extended short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily of proteins. It has the two signature sequences of the extended SDR superfamily, a GxxGxxG motif, which is located near the cofactor binding pocket, and a YxxxK motif, in which the conserved tyrosine plays a key role in catalysis, are strictly conserved in Xanthomonas GalE as well as several crystallized GalE proteins from other bacteria

malfunction
-
GALE deficiency leads to mild or severe disease with clinical symptoms similar to classical galactosemia
malfunction
-
UDP-galactose-4-epimerase deficiency causes galactosemia. Altered protein stability is due to misfolding and loss or reduction of enzyme activity is responsible for the molecular defects underlying GALE-deficiency galactosemia
malfunction
-
In the absence of Uge5, Uge3 activity is sufficient for growth on galactose and the synthesis of galactosaminogalactan containing lower levels of galactose but not the synthesis of galactofuranose. A double deletion of uge5 and uge3 blocked growth on galactose and synthesis of both galactofuranose and galactosaminogalactan, phenotypes, overview

NADH
-
the amino acids that interact with NADH are Asp31, Asn35, Ser36, Lys83, Asn98, Tyr147, and Lys151
NAD+

absolute requirement for NAD+. Km: 0.27 mM for the liver enzyme, Km: 0.28 mM for the mammary enzyme; Km: 0.29 mM for the thyroid enzyme
NAD+
Torulopsis candida
-
depends on addition of NAD+ for catalytic acitivity, Km: 0.14 mM. Cannot be replaced by NADP+
NAD+
-
NAD+ is very tightly but noncovalently bound in the active site, NAD+ is reduced to NADH in the course of catalysis. NADH associated with the purified enzyme is a component of the inactive, abortive complexes, enzyme-NADH-uridine nucleotide, that contain tightly bound uridine nucleotides in place of the epimerization intermediate UDP-4-keto-alpha-D-hexoglucopyranose. These complexes are produced in vivo in the course of bacterial growth
NAD+
-
two nicotinamide cofactors bind in symmetry-related positions in the dimer
NAD+
-
the amino acid side chains responsible for anchoring the NAD+ to the protein include Asp33, Asn37, Asp66, Tyr157 and Lys161
NAD+
-
coenzyme is tightly bound at the active site. NAD+ functions as the coenzyme for the interconversion of UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose by reversibly mediating their dehydrogenation to the common intermediate UDP-4-ketohexopyranoside. NAD+ activation induced by uridine nucleotides is brought about by a conformational change of epimerase that repositions Tyr149 at an increased distance from nicotinamide N1 of NAD+ while maintaining the electrostatic repulsion between Lys153 and nicotinamide N1 of NAD+
NAD+
-
1.78 mol of NAD+ per dimer. Each subunit is independently capable of being associated with one molecule of NAD+, suggestive of two NAD+ binding sites of epimerase per dimer
NAD+
-
the fully active GalE is dimeric and contains one tightly bound NAD+ per subunit, NAD+ undergoes reversible reduction to NADH in the chemical mechanism, practically irreversible binding of NAD+ within a Rossmann-type fold, nonstereospecific hydride transfer, uridine nucleotide-induced activation of NAD, Tyr149 as a base catalyst, and [GalE-NADH]-oxidation in one-electron steps by one-electron acceptors. pH-Dependent charge transfer complex between Tyr149 and NAD+.

GALE activity evaluated in samples by monitoring the conversion of UDP-gal to UDP-glc. Assays stopped by the addition of 237.5 microliter of ice-cold water followed immediately by filtration through 0.2-micrometer nylon micro-spin columns (Corning) to remove proteins and particulates before high performance liquid chromatography analysis.
