A comprehensive review of recent advances in the characterization of L-rhamnose isomerase for the biocatalytic production of D-allose from D-allulose. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127859. [PMID: 37924916 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
D-Allose and D-allulose are two important rare natural monosaccharides found in meager amounts. They are considered to be the ideal substitutes for table sugar (sucrose) for, their significantly lower calorie content with around 80 % and 70 % of the sweetness of sucrose, respectively. Additionally, both monosaccharides have gained much attention due to their remarkable physiological properties and excellent health benefits. Nevertheless, D-allose and D-allulose are rare in nature and difficult to produce by chemical methods. Consequently, scientists are exploring bioconversion methods to convert D-allulose into D-allose, with a key enzyme, L-rhamnose isomerase (L-RhIse), playing a remarkable role in this process. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the extractions, physiological functions and applications of D-allose from D-allulose. Specifically, it provides a detailed description of all documented L-RhIse, encompassing their biochemical properties including, pH, temperature, stabilities, half-lives, metal ion dependence, molecular weight, kinetic parameters, specific activities and specificities of the substrates, conversion ratio, crystal structure, catalytic mechanism as well as their wide-ranging applications across diverse fields. So far, L-RhIses have been discovered and characterized experimentally by numerous mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria. Furthermore, the crystal forms of L-RhIses from E. coli and Stutzerimonas/Pseudomonas stutzeri have been previously cracked, together with their catalytic mechanism. However, there is room for further exploration, particularly the molecular modification of L-RhIse for enhancing its catalytic performance and thermostability through the directed evolution or site-directed mutagenesis.

[PMID: 31471865 DOI: 10.1007/s12149-019-01398-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Two fluorine-18-labeled analogues, 3-deoxy-3-[18F]fluoro-D-allose (3-[18F]FDA) and 6-deoxy-6-[18F]fluoro-D-allose (6-[18F]FDA), were synthesized and their potentials of diagnostic property were characterized. METHODS In vitro rat red blood cell (RBC) transport and phosphorylation by yeast hexokinase were evaluated in comparison with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG). The rate of protein binding in pooled human serum was measured by an ultrafiltration method. In vivo metabolite analysis in mice was also performed. Biodistribution, urine excretion, and in vivo renal kinetics in mice were compared with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluorosorbitol ([18F]FDS). RESULTS Rat RBC uptake of 3- and 6-[18F]FDA (7.8 ± 2.5%ID and 10.2 ± 4.8%ID, respectively) was significantly lower than that of [18F]FDG (44.7 ± 8.7%ID). RBC uptake of 3-[18F]FDA was inhibited by D-glucose (30%) and cytochalasin B (40%), indicating the involvement of GLUT1-dependent transport. In contrast, 6-[18F]FDA transport was not inhibited by D-glucose and cytochalasin B. 3- and 6-[18F]FDA were not phosphorylated by yeast hexokinase under the conditions that result in 60% conversion of [18F]FDG into [18F]FDG-6-phosphate within 30 min. Serum protein binding of 3- and 6-[18F]FDA was negligible. Metabolic transformation of both tracers was not detected in plasma and urine at 30 min after injection. The highest tissue uptake of both tracers was observed in kidneys. Heart and brain uptake of both tracers was below blood levels throughout the biodistribution studies (until 120 min after injection). No significant uptake in the bone was observed, indicating the absence of de-fluorination in mice. In vivo PET imaging visualized rapid excretion of the administered 3- and 6-[18F]FDA from the kidneys, with minimal tracer accumulation in other organs. The urine excretion rate of 3-[18F]FDA was much lower than that of 6-[18F]FDA and [18F]FDS. CONCLUSIONS 3- and 6-[18F]FDA might be unsatisfactory for tumor imaging. In contrast, these tracers demonstrated high levels of kidney uptake and excretion, low serum protein binding, and high metabolic stability as preferable properties for renal imaging. Notably, the urine excretion rate and kidney uptake kinetics of 6-[18F]FDA were comparable with those of the potential renal imaging agent [18F]FDS. Further validation studies in animal models are required to confirm the feasibility of 6-[18F]FDA as a functional renal imaging agent.

Abstract
D-Allose is a rare monosaccharide, which rarely appears in the natural environment. D-Allose has an 80% sweetness relative to table sugar but is ultra-low calorie and non-toxic and is thus an ideal candidate to take the place of table sugar in food products. It displays unique health benefits and physiological functions in various fields, including food systems, clinical treatment, and the health care fields. However, it is difficult to produce chemically. The biotechnological production of D-allose has become a research hotspot in recent years. Therefore, an overview of recent studies on the physiological functions, applications, and biotechnological production of D-allose is presented. In this review, the physiological functions of D-allose are introduced in detail. In addition, the different types of D-allose-producing enzymes are compared for their enzymatic properties and for the biotechnological production of D-allose. To date, very little information is available on the molecular modification and food-grade expression of D-allose-producing enzymes, representing a very large research space yet to be explored.
