L-Rhamnulose (6-deoxy-L-arabino-2-hexulose) and L-fuculose (6-deoxy-L-lyxo-2-hexulose) were prepared from L-rhamnose and L-fucose by a two-step strategy. In the first reaction step, isomerization of L-rhamnose to L-rhamnulose, or L-fucose to L-fuculose was combined with a targeted phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by L-rhamnulose kinase (RhaB). The by-products (ATP and ADP) were selectively removed by silver nitrate precipitation method. In the second step, the phosphate group was hydrolyzed to produce L-rhamnulose or L-fuculose with purity exceeding 99% in more than 80% yield (gram scale).

Background: Asymmetric aldol-type C-C bond formation with ketones used as electrophilic receptor remains a challenging reaction for aldolases as biocatalysts. To date, only one kind of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases has been discovered and applied to synthesize branched-chain sugars directly using DHAP and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as substrate. However, the unstable and high-cost properties of DHAP limit large-scale application.

The occurrence rates of non-communicable diseases like obesity, diabetes and hyperlipidemia have increased remarkably due to excessive consumption of a high-energy diet. Rare sugars therefore have become increasingly attractive owing to their unique nutritional properties. In the past two decades, various rare sugars have been successfully prepared guided by the "Izumoring strategy".

Sugar 4-epimerization reactions are important for the production of rare sugars and their derivatives, which have various potential industrial applications. For example, the production of tagatose, a functional sweetener, from fructose by sugar 4-epimerization is currently constrained because a fructose 4-epimerase does not exist in nature. We found that class II D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FbaA) catalyzed the 4-epimerization of D-fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) to D-tagatose-6-phosphate (T6P) based on the prediction via structural comparisons with epimerase and molecular docking and the identification of the condensed products of C3 sugars.

A straightforward chemoenzymatic synthesis of four uncovered casuarine stereoisomers is described. The strategy consists of L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase F131A-variant-catalyzed aldol addition of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to aldehyde derivatives of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) and its enantiomer (LAB) and subsequent one-pot catalytic deprotection-reductive amination. DAB and LAB were obtained from dihydroxyacetone and aminoethanol using D-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase and L-rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase catalysts, respectively.
