d-Arabinose 5-phosphate isomerases (APIs) catalyze the interconversion ofd-ribulose 5-phosphate andd-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P). A5P is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate (Kdo), an essential component of lipopolysaccharide, the lipopolysaccharide found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The genome of the Gram-positive pathogenListeria monocytogenescontains a gene encoding a putative sugar isomerase domain API, Q723E8, with significant similarity to c3406, the only one of four APIs fromEscherichia coliCFT073 that lacks a cystathionine-β-synthase domain. However,L.monocytogeneslacks genes encoding any of the other enzymes of the Kdo biosynthesis pathway. Realizing that the discovery of an API in a Gram-positive bacterium could provide insight into an alternate physiological role of A5P in the cell, we prepared and purified recombinant Q723E8. We found that Q723E8 does not possess API activity, but instead is a novel GPI (d-glucose 6-phosphate isomerase). However, the GPI activity of Q723E8 is weak compared with previously described GPIs.L.monocytogenescontains an ortholog of the well-studied two-domain bacterial GPI, so this maybe redundant. Based on this evidence glucose utilization is likely not the primary physiological role of Q723E8.
