Branched-chain monosaccharides, biosynthesis

Branched-chain monosaccharides have now been detected as components of bacterial polysaccharides. The known examples include yersiniose [3,6-dideoxy-4-C-(hydroxyethyl)-D-xy/o-hexose228] from Y. pseudotuberculosis, a 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)pentofuranose from Coxiella bumetti,229 and 6-deoxy-3-C-methylhexoses from the same organism and from Nitrobacter hamburgiensis.229 Several branched-chain monosaccharides were identified as components of antibiotics, and the pathways of their biosynthesis in bacteria were studied. These investigations were discussed in detail by Grisebach in this Series.230 The usual precursors for the formation of the monosaccharides of this group are the nucleoside 6-deoxyhexosyl-4-ulose diphosphates 7a and 7b. [Pg.299]
