l-xylo-3-Hexulose Reductase Is the Missing Link in the Oxidoreductive Pathway for d-Galactose Catabolism in Filamentous Fungi
摘要:
In addition to the well established Leloir pathway for the catabolism of D-galactose in fungi, the oxidoreductive pathway has been recently identified. In this oxidoreductive pathway, D-galactose is converted via a series of NADPH-dependent reductions and NAD(+)-dependent oxidations into D-fructose. The pathway intermediates include galactitol, L-xylo-3-hexulose, and D-sorbitol. This study identified the missing link in the pathway, the L-xylo-3-hexulose reductase that catalyzes the conversion of L-xylo-3-hexulose to D-sorbitol. In Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) and Aspergillus niger, we identified the genes lxr4 and xhrA, respectively, that encode the L-xylo-3-hexulose reductases. The deletion of these genes resulted in no growth on galactitol and in reduced growth on D-galactose. The LXR4 was heterologously expressed, and the purified protein showed high specificity for L-xylo-3-hexulose with a K-m = 2.0 +/- 0.5 mM and a V-max = 5.5 +/- 1.0 units/mg. We also confirmed that the product of the LXR4 reaction is D-sorbitol.

dehydrogenases that oxidize polyhydricalcohols to rare sugars, which can be used as a healthy alternative for traditional sugars and sweeteners. These oxidation reactions obey the generally accepted Bertrand Hudson's rule, in which only the polyhydricalcohols that possess cis d-erythro hydroxyl groups can be oxidized to 2-ketoses using PQQ as a cofactor, while the polyhydricalcohols excluding cis d-erythro

(DE) Die Erfindung betrifft ein verbessertes Verfahren zur enzymatischen Galactosylierung von Mono- und Oligosacchariden unter in situ Regeneration des Nucleotidzuckers (bzw. des Nucleosiddiphosphatzuckers) in Gegenwart von Saccharose-Synthase, $g(b)-1-4-Galactosyltransferase und Uridindiphosphat-Glucose-4'-Epimerase (UDP-Glucose-4'-Epimerase), bei welchem die Uridindiphosphat-Glucose-4'-Epimerase mittels eines Ketonzuckerderivats reaktiviert wird.(EN) The invention concerns an improved method for the enzymatic galactosylation of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides with in situ regeneration of the nucleotide sugar (or the nucleoside diphosphate sugar) in the presence of saccharose synthase, $g(b)-1-4-galactosyl transferase and uridine diphosphate glucose-4'-epimerase (UDP glucose-4'-epimerase), the method calling for the uridine diphosphate glucose-4'-epimerase to be reactivated by a ketone sugar derivative.(FR) L'invention concerne un procédé perfectionné de galatosylation enzymatique de monosaccharides et d'oligosaccharides avec régénération in situ du sucre de nucléotide (par ex. du sucre de diphosphate de nucléoside) en présence de saccharose-synthase, de 1-4-galactosyltransférase et d'uridine diphosphate-glucose-4'-épimérase (UDP-glucose-4'-épimérase). Selon ce procédé, l'uridine diphosphate-glucose-4'-épimérase est réactivée à l'aide d'un dérivé de sucre cétonique.
