چکیده
The crystal structure of D-ribulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase (RPE) from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis was determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.6 A resolution. The enzyme, which catalyzes the epimerization of D-ribulose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate, assembles as a hexamer of (beta/alpha)(8)-barrels in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The active site is highly similar to those of two previously reported RPEs and provides further evidence for essential catalytic roles for several active-site residues.

The mechanism of L-ribulose 5-phosphate 4-epimerase of Aerobacfer aerogenes has been investigated by determining the kinetic isotope effect (KT/KH) for the epimerization of D-[4-T]xylulose 5-phosphate in the presence of D-[l-14C]xylulose 5-phosphate. The ratio of T:14C was determined for the isolated L-ribulose derived from aliquots of an epimerization reaction mixture during its progress towar...

The mechanism of the r,-ribulose 5-phosphate 4-epimerase has been examined. In agreement with previous observations (MCDONOUGH, M. W., AND WOOD, M. A. (1961) J. Biol. Chem. 236, 1220) no exchange of hydrogen with Hz0 is observed. Suitable double label experiments indicate that hydrogen transfer in the reaction is intramolecular. The data for kinetics of the exchange of the hydrogen at C-3 of su...
متن کامل13C and deuterium isotope effects suggest an aldol cleavage mechanism for L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase.
On the basis of (13)C and deuterium isotope effects, L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase catalyzes the epimerization of L-ribulose 5-phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate by an aldol cleavage to the enediolate of dihydroxyacetone and glycolaldehyde phosphate, followed by rotation of the aldehyde group and condensation to the epimer at C-4. With the wild-type enzyme, (13)C isotope effects were 1.85...
متن کاملPentose Fermentation by Lactobacillus Plantarum
Extracts of Lactobucillus plantarum derived from cells grown on Larabinose contain an active isomerase, which converts L-arabinose to Lribulose (1, 2), and a ribulokinase, which catalyzes the formation of L-ribulose &phosphate (3,4). Such extracts also catalyze the conversion of L-ribulose 5-phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate, which has been shown to be the key intermediate in pentose fermenta...
