This domain is found in DRL from Brucella abortus (Swiss:Q2YIM3) and other bacterial putative oxidoreductases and homoserine dehydrogenases. DRL is involved in isoprenoid biosynthesis. This protein is organised into three structural domains: N-terminal, central, (catalytic, this entry), and C-terminal. The catalytic domain shows an alpha/beta fold with a central four-stranded mixed beta-sheet. The active site lid is formed by a protusion made of two antiparallel helices connected by a short loop [1-2].
This domain adopts a Rossmann NAD binding fold. The C-terminal domain of homoserine dehydrogenase contributes a single helix to this structural domain, which is not included in the Pfam model.
