the Streptococcus pneumoniae fucose-processing pathway has a nonmetabolic role in the interaction of this bacterium with its human host
synthesis
two-step enzymatic strategy for the synthesis of 6-deoxy-L-sorbose. First, the isomerization of L-fucose to L-fuculose,and the epimerization of L-fuculose to 6-deoxy-L-sorbose catalyzed by D-tagatose 3-epimerase are coupled with the targeted phosphorylation of 6-deoxy-L-sorbose by human fructose kinase in a one-pot reaction. In the second reaction step, the phosphate group of the 6-deoxy-L-sorbose 1-phosphate is hydrolyzed with acid phosphatase to produce 6-deoxy-L-sorbose in 81% yield with regard to L-fucose
