Carbohydrate utilization in Streptococcus thermophilus: characterization of the genes for aldose 1-epimerase (mutarotase) and UDPglucose 4-epimerase [PDF]
The complete nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding aldose 1-epimerase (mutarotase) (galM) and UDPglucose 4-epimerase (galE) and flanking regions of Streptococcus thermophilus have been determined. Both genes are located immediately upstream of the S. thermophilus lac operon.

UDPGlucose 4-epimerase from Saccharomyces fragilis. Allosteric kinetics with UDP-glucose as substrate [PDF]
UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Saccharomyces fragilis catalyzes a freely reversible reaction between UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose. With UDP-galactose as the substrate the enzyme shows a classical hyperbolic kinetics but when UDP-glucose is used as the substrate a distinct allostericity is observed.

Distinct functional roles of two active site thiols in UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis. [PDF]
UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis was earlier shown to have two conformationally vicinal thiols at the active site. Upon treatment with diamide, these thiols form a disulfide linkage across the subunits that results in coordinated loss of catalytic activity and coenzyme fluorescence (Ray, M., and Bhaduri, A. (1980) J. Biol. Chem.

UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis was completely inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate following pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The pH profile of diethylpyrocarbonate inhibition and reversal of inhibition by hydroxylamine suggested specific modification of histidyl residues. Statistical analysis of the residual enzyme activity and

A chromophorics and fluorescent analog of uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP), a known competitive inhibitor of UDPglucose 4-epimerase was synthesised. This analog, namely 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadienylidene) uridine 5'-monophosphate, was found to be a powerful reversible inhibitor of UDPglucose 4-epimerase indicating its interaction with the ...
