Disease relevance of rhaA

The sequencing of the EcoRI-HindIII fragment complementing mutations in the structural genes of the L-rhamnose regulon of Escherichia coli has permitted identification of the open reading frames corresponding to rhaB, rhaA, and rhaD [1].
The Structures of l-Rhamnose Isomerase from Pseudomonas stutzeri in Complexes with l-Rhamnose and d-Allose Provide Insights into Broad Substrate Specificity [2].

High impact information on rhaA
