Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Ribulose is a metabolite in pentose and glucuronate interconversions. It plays a role in the D-arabitol production from U. fabae. Ribulose is a rare aldopentose that might show antitumoral and antiviral activities. It acts as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)-dependent D-arabitol dehydrogenase (ARD1p) enzyme and D-tagatose-3-epimerase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Its monophosphate D-ribulose 5-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway of glycolysis. D-Ribulose may be found in plants like algae, sugar beet leaves, and barley seed leaves.

A significant improvement in the production of l-ribulose from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, L-arabinose and sodium aluminate, is demonstrated. This has facilitated expeditious access to gram-scale quantities of L-ribulofuranoside derivatives.

Metabolomics is a rapidly growing branch of post-genomic chemical biology. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an excellent eukaryotic model organism. Although the entire S. pombe genome has been sequenced and detailed transcriptomic analyses were performed, little metabolic profiling has

A non-characterized gene, previously proposed as the D-tagatose-3-epimerase gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 64 kDa with two identical subunits. The enzyme specificity was highest with D-fructose and

We have identified and characterized a novel NADP(+)-dependent D-arabitol dehydrogenase and the corresponding gene from the rust fungus Uromyces fabae, a biotrophic plant pathogen on broad bean (Vicia faba). The new enzyme was termed ARD1p (D-arabitol dehydrogenase 1). It recognizes
