Genes yiaP and yiaR of the yiaKLMNOPQRS cluster of Escherichia coli are required for the metabolism of the endogenously formed L-xylulose, whereas yiaS is required for this metabolism only in araD mutants. Like AraD, YiaS was shown to have L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase activity. Similarity of YiaR to several 3-epimerases suggested that this protein could catalyze the conversion of L-xylulose-5-phosphate into L-ribulose-5-phosphate, thus completing the pathway between L-xylulose and the general metabolism.
大肠杆菌yiaKLMNOPQRS基因簇中的yiaP和yiaR基因是内源性生成的L-木酮糖代谢所必需的,而yiaS仅在araD突变体中参与该代谢过程。与AraD一样,YiaS被证明具有L-核糖-5-磷酸4-差向异构酶活性。YiaR与几种3-差向异构酶的相似性表明,该蛋白可以催化L-木酮糖-5-磷酸转化为L-核糖-5-磷酸,从而完成L-木酮糖与一般代谢之间的途径。
