(S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinic acid
+ NAD+
 

The three substrates of this enzyme are (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinic acid, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and a proton. Its products are (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinic acid], oxidised NAD+ and water. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate can be used as an alternative cofactor.[1][2][3]

This enzyme is part of the biosynthesis pathway to lysine.[4]

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on CH or CH2 groups with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include:

  • dihydrodipicolinate reductase,
  • dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase, and
  • 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase.[1]
