Application

PMI is used to study cell wall synthesis and energy production. PMI has been used to study how EDTA and metal ions, such as Zn++, Co++, Fe++, Mn++ and Cu++., can affect recovery and thermal stability. It may be used to study PMI′s effect on various alginate biosynthetic enzymes such as phosphomannomutase (PMM), GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GMP), and GDP-mannose dehydrogenase (GMD).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI) catalyses the interconversion of mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) and fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), which provides a link between glucose metabolism and mannosylation.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-mannose 6-phosphate to D-fructose 6-phosphate per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C, using a coupled enzyme system with phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Physical form

Supplied as a suspension in 3.2 M ammonium sulfate

The gram-negative facultative chemolithoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha strain H16 is known for its narrow carbohydrate utilization range, which limits its use for biotechnological production of polyhydroxyalkanoates and possibly other products from renewable resources. To broaden its substrate utilization range, which

Mannose-6-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of mannose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. The gene encoding a putative mannose-6-phosphate isomerase from Thermus thermophilus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The native enzyme was a 29 kDa monomer with activity maxima for mannose 6-phosphate at

Phosphomannose isomerases (PMIs) in bacteria and fungi catalyze the reversible conversion of D-fructose-6-phosphate to D-mannose-6-phosphate during biosynthesis of GDP-mannose, which is the main intermediate in the mannosylation of important cell wall components, glycoproteins, and certain glycolipids. In the present study
