Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Ribulose is a metabolite in pentose and glucuronate interconversions. It plays a role in the D-arabitol production from U. fabae. Ribulose is a rare aldopentose that might show antitumoral and antiviral activities. It acts as a substrate for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)-dependent D-arabitol dehydrogenase (ARD1p) enzyme and D-tagatose-3-epimerase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Its monophosphate D-ribulose 5-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway of glycolysis. D-Ribulose may be found in plants like algae, sugar beet leaves, and barley seed leaves.

The mechanism of post-illumination chlorophyll fluorescence transient (PIFT) was investigated in Arabidopsis. PIFT was detected in the wild type after illumination with low light. In the fba3-2 (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase) mutant, in which PIFT is enhanced, strong light also induced PIFT.

A significant improvement in the production of l-ribulose from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, L-arabinose and sodium aluminate, is demonstrated. This has facilitated expeditious access to gram-scale quantities of L-ribulofuranoside derivatives.
