Apiose is a unique branched-chain pentose found in plant glycosides and a key component
of the cell wall polysaccharide pectin and other specialized metabolites. More than 1,200 …

Colocation of the genes encoding ABC, TRAP, and TCT transport systems and catabolic
pathways for the transported ligand provides a strategy for discovering novel microbial …

The C-branched pentose sugar d-apiose is important for plant cell wall development. Its
biosynthesis as urdine diphosphate-d-apiose (UDP-d-apiose) involves decarboxylation of …

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-apiose/UDP-xylose synthase (UAXS) is a member of the short-
chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily (SDR), which catalyzes the ring contraction …

UDP-apiose, a donor substrate of apiosyltransferases, is labile because of its intramolecular
self-cyclization ability, resulting in the formation of apiofuranosyl-1, 2-cyclic phosphate …

Apiose is a unique branched-chain pentose found in plant glycosides and a key component
of the cell wall-polysaccharide pectin and other specialized metabolites. More than 1,200 …

The rare branched-chain sugar apiose, once thought to only be present in the plant
kingdom, was found in two bacterial species: Geminicoccus roseus and Xanthomonas pisi …

Microbial mat environments were likely widespread during the Proterozoic and early
Paleozoic. As such, interpreting the carbon isotopic compositions (δ 13 C) of well-preserved …

Apiose is a unique, branched-chain monosaccharide. It is a conserved initial residue of side
chains A and B in the vascular plant cell wall polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II, an …
