Accepted name: D-arabinose isomerase
Reaction: D-arabinose = D-ribulose
For diagram of reaction click here.
Other name(s): D-arabinose(L-fucose) isomerase; L-fucose isomerase; D-arabinose ketol-isomerase; arabinose isomerase (misleading)
Systematic name: D-arabinose aldose-ketose-isomerase
Comments: Requires a divalent metal ion (the enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli prefers Mn2+). The enzyme binds the closed form of the sugar and catalyses ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that facilitates the isomerization reaction, which proceeds via an ene-diol mechanism [3]. The enzyme catalyses the aldose-ketose isomerization of several sugars. Most enzymes also catalyse the reaction of EC 5.3.1.25, L-fucose isomerase [3]. The enzyme from the bacterium Falsibacillus pallidus also converts D-altrose to D-psicose [4]. cf. EC 5.3.1.4, L-arabinose isomerase.

Systematic name: β-L-arabinopyranose aldose-ketose-isomerase

The enzyme can also convert α-D-galactose to D-tagatose with lower efficiency [5].

Other name(s): D-xylose isomerase; D-xylose ketoisomerase; D-xylose ketol-isomerase; D-xylose aldose-ketose-isomerase
Systematic name: α-D-xylopyranose aldose-ketose-isomerase
Comments: Contains two divalent metal ions, preferably magnesium, located at different metal-binding sites within the active site.

The enzyme binds the closed form of its sugar substrate (in the case of xylose and glucose, only the α anomer [4]) and catalyses ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that is coordinated to one of the metal sites. Isomerization proceeds via a hydride-shift mechanism.

Accepted name: L-fucose isomerase
Reaction: L-fucose = L-fuculose
Other Name(s): L-fucose ketol-isomerase
Systematic name: L-fucose aldose-ketose-isomerase
Comments: Requires a divalent metal ion (the enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli prefers Mn2+). The enzyme binds the closed form of the sugar and catalyses ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that facilitates the isomerization reaction, which proceeds via an ene-diol mechanism [3]. The enzyme from Escherichia coli can also convert D-arabinose to D-ribulose [1]. The enzyme from the thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus also converts D-altrose to D-psicose and L-galactose to L-tagatose [4].

Systematic name: (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate keto—enol isomerase
Comments: Involved in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, modified phenols and catechols. The enol form (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate is produced as part of this pathway and is converted to the keto form (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate by the enzyme [6]. Another keto form, (4E)-2-oxohex-4-enedioate (4-oxalocrotonate), was originally thought to be produced by the enzyme [1,2] but later shown to be produced non-enzymatically [5].
