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.

Lateral gene transfer is increasingly invoked to explain phylogenetic results that conflict with our understanding of organismal relationships. In eukaryotes, the most common observation interpreted in this way is the appearance of a bacterial gene (one that is not clearly

Enzymes that share the (beta/alpha) 8-barrel fold catalyze a diverse range of reactions. Many utilize phosphorylated substrates and share a conserved C-terminal (beta/alpha) 2-quarter barrel subdomain that provides a binding motif for the dianionic phosphate group. We recently reported functional

The crystal structure of Pfal009167AAA, a putative ribulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase (PfalRPE) from Plasmodium falciparum, has been determined to 2 A resolution. RPE represents an exciting potential drug target for developing antimalarials because it is involved in the shikimate and the

Suppression subtractive hybridisation was used to isolate genes differentially regulated by low levels (UV-B(BE,300) 0.13 W m(-2)) of ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 290-320 nm) in Pisum sativum. Six genes were regulated, two of which were novel. The mRNA levels for these

A cDNA clone encoding the chloroplast enzyme pentose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.1) in potato (Solanum tuberosum) was isolated and sequenced. The deduced sequence of 235 amino acids is similar to protein sequences of bacterial epimerases. Northern blot analysis showed the highest
