NMR Application Probes a Novel and Ubiquitous Family of Enzymes That Alter Monosaccharide Configuration
2004
Journal of Biological Chemistry
By exploiting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques along with novel applications of saturation difference analysis, we deciphered the functions of the previously uncharacterized products of three bacterial genes, rbsD, fucU, and yiiL, which are part of the ribose, fucose, and rhamnose operons of Escherichia coli, respectively. We show that RbsD catalyzes the pyran to furan conversion of ribose, whereas FucU and YiiL are involved in the catalysis of the anomeric conversion of their
