highest specific activity |
| 5.3.1.6 | D-ribose 5-phosphate |
enzyme is involved in the first step of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. Two ribose 5-phosphate isomerase, RpiA and RpiB. RpiA is constitutively expressed, accounts for about 99% of the total ribose 5-phosphate isomerase activity for strains grown in nutrient broth. Escherichia coli strains defective in rpiA gene are still able to use ribose as a carbon source due to the presence of the second RPI, a ribose-inducible RpiB |
| 5.3.1.6 | D-ribose 5-phosphate |
key enzyme in the oxidative and reductive pentose-phosphate pathway for the conversion of ribose-5-phosphate to ribulose-5-phosphatre and vice versa |
| 5.3.1.6 | D-ribose 5-phosphate |
the enzyme plays essential roles in carbohydrate anabolism and catabolism |
| 5.3.1.6 | D-ribose 5-phosphate |
ribose 5-phosphate ketol-isomerase, the translation product of the RKI1 gene plays a crucial role in pyridoxine synthesis in yeast |
| 5.3.1.6 | D-ribose-5-phosphate |
the cytosolic ribose-5-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the reversible interconversion of ribulose-5-phosphate and ribose-5-phosphate in the non-oxidative phase of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway |
