Application
D-Ribulose-5-phosphate 3-Epimerase is an enzyme that converts the reversible conversion of D-ribulose 5-phosphate into D-xylulose 5-phosphate, which is important for the cellular response against oxidative stress . D-Ribulose-5-phosphate 3-Epimerase is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions and carbon fixation. Product R3251 is from baker′s yeast and is provided as a lyophilized powder. It is useful in enzyme systems requiring low sulfate.
Biochem/physiol Actions
RPE is a metalloenzyme and has been shown to use the divalent Zn2+ ion predominantly for catalysis. Human D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (hRPE) has been shown to use Fe2+ for catalysis .
Physical form
Lyophilized and essentially sulfate-free; contains approx. 35% citrate buffer salts
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1 μmole of D-ribulose 5-phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate per min at pH 7.7 at 25°C when coupled with transketolase, α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and triosephosphate isomerase.

Cytosolic D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase from rice was crystallized after EDTA treatment and structurally elucidated by X-ray diffraction to 1.9A resolution. A prominent Zn(2+) site at the active center was established in a soaking experiment. The structure was compared with that of

Plant cells contain a complete oxidative pentose phosphate pathway in the chloroplasts, but an incomplete pathway was proposed to be present in the cytosol, with cytosolic (cyt) isoforms of ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (RPEase) and other non-oxidative branch enzymes being undetectable. Here

A ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RubisCO) deletion strain of Rhodospirillum rubrum that was incapable of photolithoautotrophic growth was constructed. Photoheterotrophic growth, however, was possible for the R. rubrum RubisCO deletion strain when oxidized carbon compounds such as malate were supplied. The
