EC 1.1.1.369

Accepted name: D-chiro-inositol 1-dehydrogenase

Reaction: 1D-chiro-inositol + NAD+ = 2D-2,3,5/4,6-pentahydroxycyclohexanone + NADH + H+

Glossary: 1D-chiro-inositol = 1,2,4/3,5,6-cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol

Other name(s): DCI 1-dehydrogenase; IolG

Systematic name: 1D-chiro-inositol:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme, found in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, also catalyses the reaction of EC 1.1.1.18, inositol 2-dehydrogenase, and can also use D-glucose and D-xylose. It shows trace activity with D-ribose and D-fructose [1]. It is part of a myo-inositol/D-chiro-inositol degradation pathway leading to acetyl-CoA.
