Simplified reaction pathways for UDP‐apiose/xylose synthase (UAXS), UDP‐xylose synthase (UXS), and UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi). The routes leading to decarboxylation are highlighted in red (UAXS) and blue (UXS), and position of CO2 is assigned with a yellow circle. Orientation of the C4‐hydroxyl group in the products is equatorial in case of UDP‐xylose (UAXS, UXS) and axial in UDP‐GalA (UGAepi). UDP‐GlcA, uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid; UDP‐GalA, uridine diphosphate galacturonic acid.
