High impact information on ulaF

Several products of the yia-sgb operon were also functionally characterized, although the substrate and physiological function of the operon remain unknown: 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate reductase (YiaK), 3-keto-L-gulonate kinase (LyxK), 3-keto-L-gulonate 6-phosphate decarboxylase (SgbH), and L-ribulose 5-phosphate 4-epimerase (SgbE) [1].
Sequence homology searches revealed a significant similarity to the bacterial L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase [2].
