Type: | Family | Name: | L-rhamnose catabolism isomerase |
Description: | These enzymes are isomerases in the pathway of L-rhamnose catabolism, as found in Pseudomonas stutzeriand in a number of the Rhizobiales, and are distinct from the L-rhamnose isomerases of Escherichia coli(see ). They catalyze the isomerisation step in rhamnose catabolism. Genetic evidence in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifoliisuggests that unlike the situation in E. coli, phosphorylation occurs first, then isomerisation of the phosphorylated sugar occurs. | Short Name: | L_rhamnose_iso |
