D-Arabinose isomerase catalyzes the isomerization of D-arabinose to D-ribulose. Bacillus pallidus D-arabinose isomerase has broad substrate specificity and can catalyze the isomerization of D-arabinose, L-fucose, L-xylose, L-galactose and D-altrose. Recombinant B. pallidus D-arabinose isomerase was overexpressed, purified and crystallized. A crystal of the enzyme was obtained by the sitting-drop method at room temperature and belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 144.9, b = 127.9, c = 109.5 A. Diffraction data were collected to 2.3 A resolution.

6-Deoxy-l-sorbose (6-DLS) is an imperative rare sugar employed in food, agriculture, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industeries. However, it is a synthetic and very expensive rare sugars, previously synthesized by chemo-enzymatic methods through a long chain of chemical processes. Recently, enzymatic synthesis of rare sugars has attracted a lot of attention due to its advantages over synthetic methods.

d-Aldotetroses are rare sugars that are obtained via chemical synthesis in low yield. In this study, we demonstrated that d-aldotetroses could be produced using 3 isomerases. First, l-erythrulose was epimerized using d-tagatose 3-epimerase from Pseudomonas cichorii ST-24.

Aims: l-Fuculose is a valuable rare sugar that is used to treat a variety of ailments, including HIV, cancer, Hepatitis B, human lysosomal disease (fucosidosis), and cardio-protective medications. The enzymatic approach for the production of l-fuculose using l-fucose as a substrate would be an advantageous method with a wide range of industrial applications. The objective of this study is the characterization of recombinant l-fucose isomerase from Paenibacillus rhizosphaerae (Pa-LFI) for the production of l-fuculose from an inexpensive and natural source (fucoidan) as well as its comparison with commercial l-fucose (Sigma-Aldrich).

L-Fuculose and D-ribulose are kinds of rare sugars used in food, agriculture, and medicine industries. These are pentoses and categorized into the two main groups, aldo pentoses and ketopentoses. There are 8 aldo- and 4 ketopentoses and only fewer are natural, while others are rare sugars found in a very small amount in nature.
