[en] Escherichia coli uronate isomerase and mannonate dehydrogenase were overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS cells and purified to near-homogeneity. The kinetic properties of the two enzymes were investigated. The isomerase was found to be inhibited by EDTA and to be stimulated by Zn(2+), Co(2+), and Mn(2+), but not by Mg(2+) or Ca(2+). Both enzymes were used to develop a sensitive spectrophotometric assay, in which D-glucuronate is converted to D-mannonate with concomitant oxidation of NADH to NAD(+). The sensitivity of this assay permits the detection of less than 1 nmol D-glucuronate. This assay can also be used to determine the concentration of beta-glucuronides and glucuronate 1-phosphate after enzymatic hydrolysis of these compounds with beta-glucuronidase or alkaline phosphatase.
