5.5.1.27

Accepted name:

D-galactarolactone cycloisomerase

Reaction:

(1) D-galactaro-1,4-lactone = 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate
(2) D-glucaro-1,4-lactone = 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate

Other name(s):

GCI

Systematic name:

D-galactaro-1,4-lactone lyase (ring-opening)

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Agrobacterium fabrum strain C58, is involved in degradation of D-galacturonate and D-glucuronate. Activity with D-galactaro-1,4-lactone is 4-fold higher than with D-glucaro-1,4-lactone.
