Discovery of an L-fucono-1,5-lactonase from cog3618 of the amidohydrolase superfamily.

Biochemistry 52(1) , 239-53, (2013)

A member of the amidohydrolase superfamily, BmulJ_04915 from Burkholderia multivorans, of unknown function was determined to hydrolyze a series of sugar lactones: L-fucono-1,4-lactone, D-arabino-1,4-lactone, L-xylono-1,4-lactone, D-lyxono-1,4-lactone, and L-g...

Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for bioconversion of d-xylose to d-xylonate

Metab. Eng. 14(4) , 427-36, (2012)

An NAD+-dependent d-xylose dehydrogenase, XylB, from Caulobacter crescentus was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, resulting in production of 17±2g d-xylonate l−1 at 0.23gl−1h−1 from 23g d-xylose l−1 (with glucose and ethanol as co-substrates). d-Xylonate...

Structure-based function discovery of an enzyme for the hydrolysis of phosphorylated sugar lactones.

Biochemistry 51(8) , 1762-73, (2012)

Two enzymes of unknown function from the cog1735 subset of the amidohydrolase superfamily (AHS), LMOf2365_2620 (Lmo2620) from Listeria monocytogenes str. 4b F2365 and Bh0225 from Bacillus halodurans C-125, were cloned, expressed, and purified to homogeneity. ...
