Identification
Name:3-Dehydro-L-gulonate
Description3-Dehydro-L-gulonate is an intermediate in ascorbic acid degradation. It is a substrate for the enzyme 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate in the presence of NADH, to form 3-keto-L-gulonate. It participates in the reaction: 3-dehydro-L-gulonate + NAD(P)+ = (4R,5S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-2,3-dioxohexanoate + NAD(P)H. Several pathways for the irreversible catabolism of ascorbate have been described. Facultatively aerobic bacteria such as Escherichia coli degrade L-ascorbate by different pathways under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The anaerobic pathway begins with phosphorylation of ascorbate (mediated by a PTS-type transporter), while the aerobic pathway proceeds via 2,3-dioxo-L-gulonate. Both pathways produce D-xylulose 5-phosphate, a centeral metabolite that is fed into the pentose phosphate pathway.
