ENZYME entry: EC 5.1.3.18

Accepted Name
GDP-mannose 3,5-epimerase
Reaction catalysed
  • GDP-alpha-D-mannose = GDP-beta-L-gulose
  • GDP-beta-L-gulose = GDP-beta-L-galactose
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyze the formation of the stable intermediate GDP- beta-L-gulose as well as GDP-beta-L-galactose.
  • The reaction proceeds by C4' oxidation of GDP-alpha-D-mannose followed by epimerization of the C5' position to give GDP-beta-L-4- dehydro-gulose.
  • This intermediate is either reduced to give GDP-beta-L-gulose or the C3' position is epimerized to give GDP-beta-L-4-dehydro-galactose, followed by C4' reduction to yield GDP-beta-L-galactose.
  • Both products serve as intermediates in two different variants of plant L-ascorbate biosynthesis pathways.
