Application

Phosphoriboisomerase is used to study the ribulose monophosphate pathway. Phosphoriboisomerase from spinach is used in enzyme assays to convert ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoriboisomerase is responsible for the converstion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-ribose 5-phosphate to D-ribulose 5-phosphate per min at pH 7.7 at 30 °C.

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A (RpiA) plays an important role in interconverting between ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) and ribulose-5-phosphate in the pentose phosphate pathway and the Calvin cycle. We have determined the crystal structures of the open form RpiA from Vibrio vulnificus YJ106 (VvRpiA)

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is a ubiquitous intracellular enzyme of bacterial, plant and animal origin that is involved in the pentose phosphate cycle, an essential component of cellular carbohydrate metabolism. Specifically, the enzyme catalyses the reversible conversion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (Rpi; EC 5.3.1.6) is a key activity of the pentose phosphate pathway. Two unrelated types of sequence/structure possess this activity: type A Rpi (present in most organisms) and type B Rpi (RpiB) (in some bacteria and parasitic protozoa).

The activity of ribose-5-phosphate isomerases (RpiB) from Clostridium difficile for D-ribose isomerization was optimal at pH 7.5 and 40 degrees C, while that from Thermotoga maritima for L-talose isomerization was optimal at pH 8.0 and 70 degrees C. C. difficile

Rare sugars are used for many industrial and medical purposes and are produced by the interconversion between aldoses and ketoses catalyzed by sugar and sugar-phosphate isomerases. Recently, Clostridium thermocellum d-ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (CTRPI), an aldose-ketose isomerase, was cloned in order to
