formed frommicrothecin [2-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one] in neutral water solutions by a Michael addition. The compound was determined by NMR spectroscopy, MS and polarimetry to be a racemic mixture of d -and l -forms and existing mainly as two furanosidic C-2 epimers in equilibrium with microthecin. GC–MS analysis showed that 4-deoxy-glycero-hexo-2,3-diulose and microthecin were present
Pyranosone dehydratase from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium: improved purification, and identification of 6-deoxy-d-glucosone and d-xylosone reaction products
produced sugar derivatives. The latter labile compounds were trapped as diphenylhydrazine or o-phenylenediamine derivatives and spectroscopically identified. The analogous D-glucosone dehydration product did not accumulate due to its further transformation. pH optimum of PD I activity was 6.0 and its pH stability was optimal at pH 7-11. The enzyme was sensitive to Me2+ chelating agents and some heavy metal

The anhydrofructose pathway describes the degradation of glycogen and starch to metabolites via 1, 5-anhydro-D-fructose (1,5AnFru). The enzyme catalyzing the first reaction step of this pathway, i.e., alpha-1,4-glucan lyase (EC 4.2.1.13), has been purified, cloned and characterized from fungi and red algae in our laboratory earlier. In the present study, two 1,5AnFru metabolizing enzymes were discovered in the fungus Anthracobia melaloma for the formation of ascopyrone P (APP), a fungal secondary metabolite exhibiting antibacterial and antioxidant activity. These are 1,5AnFru dehydratase (AFDH) and ascopyrone tautomerase (APTM). AFDH catalyzed the conversion of 1,5AnFru to ascopyrone M (APM), a compound that has been earlier presumed to occur biologically, while APTM isomerized the APM formed to APP. Both enzymes were purified 400-fold by (NH4)(2)SO4 fractionation, hydrophobic interaction, ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The purified AFDH showed a molecular mass of 98 kDa on SDS-PAGE and 230 kDa by gel filtration. The corresponding values for APTM was 60 and 140 kDa. Spectrophotometric and HPLC methods were developed for the assay of these two enzymes. To confirm that A. melaloma possessed all enzymes needed for conversion of glycogen to APP, an alpha-1,4-glucan lyase from this fungus was isolated and partially sequenced. Based on this work, a scheme of the enzymatic description of the anhydrofructose pathway in A. melaloma was proposed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Anhydrofructose (AF) pathway describes the catabolism of alpha-1,4-glucans of glycogen, starch and maltosaccharides to various metabolites via the central intermediate AF. The reaction sequence of the pathway consists of more than 10 enzymatic steps. This pathway occurs in certain bacteria, fungi, algae and mammals. In this communication, the AF pathway and its regulatory mechanisms in these organisms are presented and the metabolites of this pathway as antioxidants and antimicrobials in biotic and abiotic stress responses and in carbon starvation signaling are discussed.
