A structural classification of carbohydrate epimerases: From mechanistic insights to practical applications

Biotechnology Advances, 2015
In recent years, carbohydrate epimerases have attracted a lot of attention as efficient biocatalysts that can convert abundant sugars (e.g.d-fructose) directly into rare counterparts (e.g.d-psicose). Despite increased research activities, no review about these enzymes has been published in more than a decade, meaning that their full potential is hard ...

The “epimerring” highlights the potential of carbohydrate epimerases for rare sugar production

Biocatalysis and Biotransformation, 2017
AbstractRare sugars can find applications in various industrial sectors and, therefore, hold significant economic value. Due to their low natural abundance, efficient production processes are needed to enable their commercial exploitation. About a decade ago, the available biosynthetic routes were summarized in the so-called “Izumoring”, which mainly ...

Determinants of the Nucleotide Specificity in the Carbohydrate Epimerase Family 1

Biotechnology Journal, 2020
AbstractIn recent years, carbohydrate epimerases have attracted increasing attention as promising biocatalysts for the production of specialty sugars and derivatives. The vast majority of these enzymes are active on nucleotide‐activated sugars, rather than on their free counterparts.

The role of UDP‐glucose epimerase in carbohydrate metabolism of Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, 1998
SummaryUridine 5′‐diphospho‐glucose‐4‐epimerase (UDP‐Glc epimerase) catalyses the reversible epimerization of UDP‐galactose and UDP‐glucose. In contrast to bacteria and yeast, expression of the UDP‐Glc epimerase gene in Arabidopsis was found not to be induced by galactose.

Preparative-Scale Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Large Carbohydrate Assemblies Using α(1→4)-Galactosyltransferase⧸UDP-4′-Gal-Epimerase Fusion Protein

2003
Publisher Summary The synthesis of a single oligosaccharide in nature requires a well-orchestrated interplay among a multitude of enzymes. High specificity and efficiency are achieved either by compartmentalization of reactive species or by kinetic control.
