RhaA

• PFAM accession number: PF06134
• Interpro abstract (IPR009308):

  This family consists of several bacterial L-rhamnose isomerase proteins ( EC 5.3.1.14 ). This enzyme interconverts L-rhamnose and L-rhamnulose. In some species, including Escherichia coli, this is the first step in rhamnose catabolism. Sequential steps are catalysed by rhamnulose kinase (rhaB), then rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase (rhaD) to yield glycerone phosphate and (S)-lactaldehyde. Bifunctional enzyme RhaA/RhaB from Bacillus clausii is also included in this entry. It contains both rhamnulokinase and L-rhamnose isomerase domains.

• GO process: rhamnose metabolic process (GO:0019299)
• GO function: manganese ion binding (GO:0030145), L-rhamnose isomerase activity (GO:0008740)

This is a PFAM domain. For full annotation and more information, please see the PFAM entry RhaA
