Substrates: NADPH-dependent enzymatic reduction of 2-hydroxynaphthoquinones, resulting in 3,4-dihydroxy-1-tetralones, proceeds via the stable 1,4-diketo tautomer of the hydronaphthoquinones. No activity with 1,2,4-trihydroxynaphthalene. Hydronaphthoquinone tautomers play an unprecedented and essential role in the biosynthesis of many natural products and are involved in breaking the redox cycle of quinones-hydroquinones. Menadione epoxide is a poor substrate

metabolism
the enzyme plays an integral part in the biosynthesis of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin, a virulence factor of many filamentous fungi, together with scytalone dehydratase, pathway overview. DHN melanin biosynthesis constitutes a diversity-oriented metabolic network, comprising vicinal ketodiol and 4-hydroxy-1-tetralone biosyntheses as branching points. Polyhydroxynaphthalene reductases are involved in promiscuous reduction reactions, reflecting the idea of a matrix biosynthetic pathway, involvement of polyhydroxynaphthalene reductases in spirodioxynaphthalene biosynthesis

LITERATURE
crystal structure of both wild-type and cobalt-substituted enzyme at 1.75 A and 2.20 A resolution, respectively. One metal ion per monomer is present only at the structural site. The co-crystal structure of the NADPH-bound form of the enzyme at 2.35 A resolution shows close structural conservation with horse ADH, despite the lack of a catalytic Zn2+. Modeling of 1-tetralone into the NADPH-bound structure suggests an arginine as a possible catalytic residue
