Biological Activity
Glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, E. coli catalyzes the oxidation of glycerol 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), accompanied by the reduction of O2 to H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide generated by this enzyme is critical for the cytotoxicity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae against host cells. It participates in glycerol metabolism and is indispensable for glycerol utilization[2].
Glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, E. coli can utilize glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP), a glycolytic intermediate, as a substrate, though the structure of its catalytic product remains uncharacterized. Accordingly, this enzyme may produce hydrogen peroxide in mycoplasma infection when glycerol is unavailable[3].
