Article Abstract
dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase (RmlD) catalyzes the final step in the conversion of dTDP-D-glucose to dTDP-L-rhamnose in an NAD(P)H- and Mg2+-dependent reaction. L-rhamnose biosynthesis is an antibacterial target. The structure of RmlD from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has been determined, and complexes with NADH, NADPH, and dTDP-L-rhamnose are reported. RmlD differs from other short chain dehydrogenases in that it has a novel dimer interface that contains Mg2+. Enzyme catalysis involves hydride transfer from the nicotinamide ring of the cofactor to the C4'-carbonyl group of the substrate. The substrate is activated through protonation by a conserved tyrosine. NAD(P)H is bound in a solvent-exposed cleft, allowing facile replacement. We suggest a novel role for the conserved serine/threonine residue of the catalytic triad of SDR enzymes.

Rhamnose-associated molecules are attracting attention because they are present in bacteria but not mammals, making them potentially useful as antibacterial agents. Additionally, they are also valuable for tumor immunotherapy. Thus, studies on the functions and biosynthetic pathways of rhamnose-containing compounds are in progress.

Deoxythymidine diphospho-l-rhamnose (dTDP-l-rhamnose) is used by prokaryotic rhamnosyltransferases as the glycosyl donor for the synthesis of rhamnose-containing polysaccharides and compounds that have potential in pharmaceutical development, so its efficient synthesis has attracted much attention. In this study, we successfully cloned four putative dTDP-l-rhamnose synthesis genes from CGMCC 4.1716 and expressed them in .

Sporotrichosis is a fungal disease caused by the members of the pathogenic clade, and one of the etiological agents is The cell wall of this organism has been previously analyzed and thus far is known to contain an inner layer composed of chitin and β -glucans, and an outer layer of glycoproteins, which are decorated with mannose and rhamnose-containing oligosaccharides. The L-rhamnose biosynthesis pathway is common in bacteria but rare in members of the Fungi kingdom. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to disrupt this metabolic route to assess the contribution of rhamnose during the -host interaction.

Tuberculosis is the most dangerous disease causing maximum deaths than any other, caused by single infectious agent. Due to multidrug resistant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, there is a need of new drugs and drug targets. In this work, we have selected RmlD (α-dTDP-6-deoxy-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase) in the dTDP Rhamnose pathway as drug target to control tuberculosis using Rhodanine analogues.

The disease Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called (). The bacterial cell-wall consists of peptidoglycan layer maintains the cellular integrity and cell viability. The main problem resides in the cell cycle of in its quiescent form which is not targeted by any drugs hence there is an immediate need for new antibiotics to target the cell wall.
