Ribose Degradation

Lautropia mirabilis ATCC 51599
Escherichia coli can utilize the monosaccharide D-ribose as the sole source of carbon and energy for the cell. A high-affinity ABC transport system transports D-ribose into the cell as unphosphorylated beta-D-ribopyranose. Ribose pyranase converts between the furanose and pyranose forms of beta-D-ribose. D-ribofuranose converts between the alpha and beta anomers quickly and spontaneously. Ribokinase converts D-ribose to the pentose phosphate pathway intermediate, D-ribose 5-phosphate, which can enter the central metabolism pathways to meet the cells needs.

Ribose-5-phosphate Isomerase Deficiency

Homo sapiens
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) deficiency, is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the RPIA gene that codes for RPI. RPI is an enzyme that is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway as part of carbohydrate degradation. It reversibly converts D-ribulose 5-phosphate into D-ribose 5-phosphate. In the case of this disorder, RPI functions partially in tissues, because if the gene was simply non-functional, it would likely be lethal. This means that a specific type of mutation needs to occur for this disorder to occur, leading to it being the rarest disease in the world, with only three confirmed cases. In the first known case, the patient had one allele containing a frameshift mutation, which led to a truncated protein, while the other allele contained a missense mutation. This combination meant that activity of RPI was found to vary across tissues and cell types. Characteristics of the RPI deficiency include higher ribitol and arabitol levels in a metabolic profile, as well as differences in polyol profiles. There are other symptoms, including leukoencephalopathy and neuropathy, which may be caused by a toxic accumulation of ribitol and arabitol, or a potential lack of ribose-5-phosphate in RNA synthesis.

Ribostamycin Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Ribostamycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic on the list of WHO critical antimicrobials for human medicine. This drug is in the aminoglycosides antibiotic family. This is isolated from the bacteria called Streptomyces ribosidificus. Ribostamycin works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting the translocation of the peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site and also causing misreading of mRNA. With this binding, the bacteria are unable to synthesize vital proteins for its growth. However, their exact mechanism of action is not fully known.
