Common NameL-xylono-1,4-lactone
DescriptionL-xylono-1,4-lactone is a member of the lactone chemical class, specifically a sugar lactone that plays a role in various metabolic pathways. Its chemical structure features a cyclic ester formed from L-xylonic acid, which contributes to its reactivity and interactions in biochemical processes. L-xylono-1,4-lactone has been identified as a substrate for enzymes within the amidohydrolase superfamily, such as BmulJ_04915 from Burkholderia multivorans, which hydrolyzes a range of sugar lactones, including L-xylono-1,4-lactone itself (PMID:23214453 ). Additionally, it has been noted that L-xylono-1,4-lactone, along with other lactones like L-galactono-1,4-lactone and L-gulono-1,4-lactone, can serve as substrates in enzymatic reactions (PMID:7957197 ). This suggests that L-xylono-1,4-lactone may participate in metabolic pathways involving sugar alcohols and their derivatives, highlighting its potential role in carbohydrate metabolism.
