In enzymology, a xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-xylulose, whereas its two products are ADP and D-xylulose 5-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:D-xylulose 5-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include xylulokinase (phosphorylating), and D-xylulokinase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions.
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2ITM and 2NLX.
In 2014 a low-temperature 50 °C (122 °F), atmospheric-pressure enzyme-driven process to convert xylose into hydrogen with nearly 100% of the theoretical yield was announced. The process employs 13 enzymes, including xylulokinase. [1] [2]
Phosphoglucomutase is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group on an α-D-glucose monomer from the 1 to the 6 position in the forward direction or the 6 to the 1 position in the reverse direction.
Xylose is a sugar first isolated from wood, and named for it. Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type, which means that it contains five carbon atoms and includes an aldehyde functional group. It is derived from hemicellulose, one of the main constituents of biomass. Like most sugars, it can adopt several structures depending on conditions. With its free aldehyde group, it is a reducing sugar.
D-Xylose is a five-carbon aldose that can be catabolized or metabolized into useful products by a variety of organisms.
In enzymology, a D-xylulose reductase (EC 1.1.1.9) is an enzyme that is classified as an Oxidoreductase (EC 1) specifically acting on the CH-OH group of donors (EC 1.1.1) that uses NAD+ or NADP+ as an acceptor (EC 1.1.1.9). This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions; a set of metabolic pathways that involve converting pentose sugars and glucuronate into other compounds.
