Tinelli, Regina (Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo.), A. M. Michelson, and Jack L. Strominger. Epimerization of thymidine diphosphate glucose in bacterial extracts. J. Bacteriol. 86:246-251. 1963.-Extracts of Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis type IV and several other bacteria catalyzed the reversible interconversion of thymidine diphosphate (TDP)-d-glucose and TDP-d-galactose. Moreover, extracts of P. pseudotuberculosis catalyzed the synthesis of TDP-d-glucose from thymidine triphosphate and alpha-d-glucose-1-phosphate. The limitations of these observations and their possible significance are discussed.

The enzymatic synthesis of thymidine diphosphate glucose and its conversion to thymidine diphosphate rhamnose.
. Studies from several laboratories have shown that labeled glucose is converted to B-deoxy hexoses without randomization of the label when microorganisms are grown on n-glucose-l-C14 or n-glucose-MY4 as the sole source of carbohydrate (l-3). Evidence of this type has been interpreted to indicate a conversion of the intact hexose moiety to the deoxy compound without scission of the hexose carbo...

Since the discovery of uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase by Leloir (I), there has been increased recognition of the importance of epimerization of hgdroryl groups of monosaccharides and related metabolitrs. In addition to the interconversion of uridine diphosphate glucose and uridine diphosphate galactose by yeast (2, 3), mammalian (4, 5), and bacterial preparations (6), examples have b...

Assay conditions have been established which allow maximum expression of phosphodeoxyribomutase activity in ultrasonic extracts of Escherichia coil K-12. The enzyme requires 2-mercaptoethanol, manganous ions, and glucose 1, 6-diphosphate for optimal activity. When cells are grown in minimal medium with glycerol as the carbon source and supplemented with 10-' M thymidine, phosphodeoxyribomutase ...

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) has been purified over 1000-fold from extracts of wheat germ by MnCl(2) treatment, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation, Sephadex column chromatography, and adsorption onto and elution from calcium phosphate gel. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 9.0. Km values are 0.1 mm for UDP-d-galactose and 0.2 mm for UDP-d-glucose. NAD is required for activ...

It has been previously demonstrated (1) that particulate preparations from Phase&s uureus (mung bean) seedlings are capable of catalyzing the formation of uridine diphosphate-ngalacturonic acid1 and a mixture of UDP-n-xylose and UDP-Larabinose from UDP-n-glucuronic acid. The results indicated that the preparations contained UDP-uranic acid 4-epimerase and UDP-uranic acid decarboxylase activitie...
