Several bacteria, including Azotobacter vinelandii, possess an alternative pathway of L-rhamnose metabolism, which is different from the known bacterial pathway. In a previous article, a gene cluster related to this pathway was identified, consisting of the genes encoding the four metabolic enzymes L-rhamnose-1-dehydrogenase (LRA1), L-rhamnono-gamma-lactonase (LRA2), L-rhamnonate dehydratase (LRA3) and L-2-keto-3-deoxyrhamnonate (L-KDR) aldolase (LRA4), by which L-rhamnose is converted into pyruvate and L-lactaldehyde, through analogous reaction steps to the well-known Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway. In this study, bioinformatic analysis revealed that Sphingomonas sp. possesses a gene cluster consisting of LRA1-3 and two genes of unknown function, LRA5 and LRA6. LRA5 catalyzed the NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenation of several L-2-keto-3-deoxyacid-sugars, including L-KDR. Furthermore, the reaction product was converted to pyruvate and L-lactate by LRA6; this is different from the pathway of Azotobacter vinelandii. Therefore, LRA5 and LRA6 were assigned as the novel enzymes L-KDR 4-dehydrogenase and L-2,4-diketo-3-deoxyrhamnonate hydrolase, respectively. Interestingly, both enzymes were phylogenetically similar to L-rhamnose-1-dehydrogenase and D-2-keto-3-deoxyarabinonate dehydratase, respectively, and the latter was involved in the archeal nonphosphorylative d-arabinose pathway, which is partially analogous to the ED pathway. The introduction of LRA1-4 or LRA1-3, LRA5 and LAR6 compensated for the L-rhamnose-defective phenotype of an Escherichia coli mutant. Metabolic evolution and promiscuity between the alternative l-rhamnose pathway and other sugar pathways analogous to the ED pathway are discussed. << Less

There are two distinctly different pathways for the catabolism of l-rhamnose in microorganisms. One pathway with phosphorylated intermediates was described in bacteria; here the enzymes and the corresponding gene sequences are known. The other pathway has no phosphorylated intermediates and has only been described in eukaryotic microorganisms. For this pathway, the enzyme activities have been described but not the corresponding gene sequences. The first enzyme in this catabolic pathway is the NAD-utilizing L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase. The enzyme was purified from the yeast Pichia stipitis, and the mass of its tryptic peptides was determined using MALDI-TOF MS. This enabled the identification of the corresponding gene, RHA1. It codes for a protein with 258 amino acids belonging to the protein family of short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases. The ORF was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As the gene contained a CUG codon that codes for serine in P. stipitis but for leucine in S. cerevisiae, this codon has changed so that the same amino acid was expressed in S. cerevisiae. The heterologous protein showed the highest activity and affinity with L-rhamnose and a lower activity and affinity with L-mannose and L-lyxose. The enzyme was specific for NAD. A northern blot analysis revealed that transcription in P. stipitis is induced during growth on L-rhamnose but not on other carbon sources. << Less

The Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway is a classic central pathway of d-glucose metabolism in all three phylogenetic domains. On the other hand, Archaea and/or bacteria possess several modified versions of the ED pathway, in which nonphosphorylated intermediates are involved. Several fungi, including Pichia stipitis and Debaryomyces hansenii, possess an alternative pathway of L-rhamnose metabolism, which is different from the known bacterial pathway. Gene cluster related to this hypothetical pathway was identified by bioinformatic analysis using the metabolic enzymes involved in analogous sugar pathways to the ED pathway. Furthermore, the homologous gene cluster was found not only in many other fungi but also several bacteria, including Azotobacter vinelandii. Four putative metabolic genes, LRA1-4, were cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and purified. Substrate specificity and kinetic analysis revealed that nonphosphorylated intermediates related to L-rhamnose are significant active substrates for the purified LRA1-4 proteins. Furthermore, L-2-keto-3-deoxyrhamnonate was structurally identified as both reaction products of dehydration by LRA3 and aldol condensation by LRA4. These results suggested that the LRA1-4 genes encode L-rhamnose 1-dehydrogenase, L-rhamnono-gamma-lactonase, L-rhamnonate dehydratase, and L-KDR aldolase, respectively, by which L-rhamnose is converted into pyruvate and L-lactaldehyde through analogous reaction steps to the ED pathway. There was no evolutionary relationship between L-KDR aldolases from fungi and bacteria. << Less
