Phosphate sugar isomerases, catalyzing the isomerization between
ketopentose/ketohexose phosphate and aldopentose/
aldohexose phosphate, play an important role in microbial
sugar metabolism. They are present in a wide range of microorganisms.
They have attracted increasing research interest
because of their broad substrate specificity and great potential
in the enzymatic production of various rare sugars. Here,
the enzymatic properties of various phosphate sugar isomerases
are reviewed in terms of their substrate specificities and
their applications in the production of valuable rare sugars because
of their functions such as low-calorie sweeteners, bulking
agents, and pharmaceutical precursor. Specifically, we
focused on the industrial applications of D-ribose-5-phosphate
isomerase and D-mannose-6-phosphate isomerase to
produce D-allose and L-ribose, respectively.
