Guanosine diphosphate mannose
Guanosine diphosphate mannose, also known as gdp-D-mannose or guanosine pyrophosphoric acid mannose, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine nucleotide sugars. Purine nucleotide sugars are purine nucleotides bound to a saccharide derivative through the terminal phosphate group. Guanosine diphosphate mannose is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Guanosine diphosphate mannose can be found in a number of food items such as sorrel, common persimmon, citrus, and butternut, which makes guanosine diphosphate mannose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Guanosine diphosphate mannose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, guanosine diphosphate mannose is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include fructose and mannose degradation and fructose intolerance, hereditary. Guanosine diphosphate mannose is also involved in fructosuria, which is a metabolic disorder. Guanosine diphosphate mannose or GDP-mannose is a nucleotide sugar that is a substrate for glycosyltransferase reactions in metabolism. This compound is a substrate for enzymes called mannosyltransferases . GDP-mannose is a nucleoside diphosphate sugar that is important in the production of fucosylated oligosaccharides. In particular, GDP-mannose is converted to GDP-fucose, which is the fucose donor in the construction of all mammalian fucosylated glycans. GDP-mannose is transformed to GDP-fucose via three enzymatic reactions carried out by two proteins, GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD) and a second enzyme, GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase, 4-reductase. GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.47) catalyzes the chemical reaction: GDP-mannose <--> GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose + H2O. The epimerase converts the GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose to GDP-fucose (PMID: 12651883). GDP-mannose is also synthesized from mannose 1-phosphate via the enzyme ATP-mannose-1-phosphate-guanyltransferase and GTP.

GDP-L-fucose
GDP-L-fucose is a sugar nucleotide and a readily available source of fucose. Fucose is a deoxyhexose that is found in nearly all plant and animal species. The monosaccharide plays several important metabolic roles in complex carbohydrates and in glycoproteins. Fucosylated oligosaccharides are involved in cell-cell recognition, selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial adhesion, and mouse embryogenesis. They form the basis of the Lewis-type blood group antigens, are involved in the formation of atherosclerosis, and mediate host-bacterial interactions. A decrease in the availability of fucose is associated with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type-II disorder, and fucosylated glycoproteins have been implicated in memory processes. Fucose is made available during the synthesis of fucosylated glycolipids, oligosaccharides, and glycoproteins via a sugar nucleotide intermediate, specifically GDP-L-fucose. GTP-L-fucose pyrophosphorylase (GFPP, E. C. 2.7.7.30) catalyzes the reversible condensation of guanosine triphosphate and beta-L-fucose-1-phosphate to form the nucleotide-sugar GDP-L-fucose. The enzyme functions primarily in the mammalian liver and kidney to salvage free L-fucose during the breakdown of glycolipids and glycoproteins. (PMID: 16086588). Gdp-l-fucose, also known as gdp fucose or guanosine diphosphate fucose, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine nucleotide sugars. Purine nucleotide sugars are purine nucleotides bound to a saccharide derivative through the terminal phosphate group. Gdp-l-fucose is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Gdp-l-fucose can be found in a number of food items such as breadnut tree seed, okra, pineapple, and pitanga, which makes gdp-l-fucose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Gdp-l-fucose can be found primarily throughout most human tissues. Gdp-l-fucose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, gdp-l-fucose is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include fructose and mannose degradation and fructose intolerance, hereditary. Gdp-l-fucose is also involved in fructosuria, which is a metabolic disorder. Acquisition and generation of the data is financially supported in part by CREST/JST.
Fucose 1-phosphate
Fucose 1-phosphate (CAS: 16562-58-6) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharide phosphates. These are monosaccharides comprising a phosphate group linked to the carbohydrate unit. Fucose 1-phosphate is an intermediate in the reversible synthesis of GDP-L-fucose catalyzed by the enzyme guanosine triphosphate fucose pyrophosphorylase (GFPP, EC 2.7.7.30). The reversible reaction is magnesium-dependent, although the enzyme is partially active when cobalt or manganese is substituted. The reaction is unusual in that, of the four canonical nucleoside triphosphates, only guanosine can be utilized efficiently to form a nucleotide-sugar. Free cytosolic fucose is phosphorylated by L-fucokinase (EC 2.7.1.52) to form fucose-1-phosphate in the salvage pathway of GDP-L-fucose (PMID: 16185085, 14686921).
