Characterisation of the First Archaeal Mannonate Dehydratase from Thermoplasma acidophilum and Its Potential Role in the Catabolism of D-Mannose

Mannonate dehydratases catalyse the dehydration reaction from mannonate to 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate as part of the hexuronic acid metabolism in bacteria. Bacterial mannonate dehydratases present in this gene cluster usually belong to the xylose isomerase-like superfamily, which have been the focus of...
