l-Xylulose reductase (LXR) catalyzes the reduction ofl-xylulose to xylitol in the fungall-arabinose catabolic pathway. LXR (RpLXR) was purified from the pentose-fermenting zygomycetous fungusRhizomucor pusillusNBRC 4578. The nativeRpLXR is a homotetramer composed of 29 kDa subunits and preferred NADPH as a coenzyme. TheKmvalues were 8.71 mM forl-xylulose and 3.89 mM for dihydroxyacetone. Thelxr3(Rplxr3) gene encodingRpLXR consists of 792 bp and encodes a putative 263 amino acid protein (Mr= 28,341). The amino acid sequence ofRpLXR showed high similarity to 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase. TheRplxr3gene was expressed inEscherichia coliand the recombinantRpLXR exhibited properties similar to those of nativeRpLXR. Transcription of theRplxr3gene inR. pusillusNBRC 4578 was induced in the presence ofl-arabinose and inhibited in the presence ofd-glucose,d-xylose, andd-mannitol, indicating thatRpLXR is involved in thel-arabinose catabolic pathway.
