Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-allo-isoleucine
DescriptionD-allo-isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid and a member of the amino acid chemical class. Its structure features a chiral center, distinguishing it from its L-isomer, and it plays a role in various metabolic pathways. D-allo-isoleucine is produced by certain lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus buchneri, which utilize isoleucine 2-epimerase to convert L-isoleucine into D-allo-isoleucine (PMID:28471367 ). This conversion involves the abstraction of the α-hydrogen and is crucial for the biosynthesis of other metabolites, including N-malonyl-D-allo-isoleucine (PMID:26324904 ). Additionally, D-allo-isoleucine is incorporated into bioactive peptides, such as bombinin H4, which exhibits antimicrobial properties (PMID:29337209 ). The synthesis of D-allo-isoleucine can increase the cost of certain biochemical processes, as noted in studies examining amino acid compositions (PMID:31015912 ). Furthermore, its production has been linked to the metabolic activities of various Lactobacillus species, highlighting its significance in microbial metabolism (PMID:30057575 ). Overall, D-allo-isoleucine serves as an important metabolite with diverse biochemical implications.
