A cDNA encoding spinach chloroplastic ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and a purification scheme for the recombinant enzyme was developed. The purified recombinant RPI is a homodimer of 25-kDa subunits and shows kinetic properties similar to those of the homodimeric enzyme isolated from spinach leaves (A. C. Rutner, 1970, Biochemistry 9, 178-184). Phosphate, used as a buffer in previous studies, is a competitive inhibitor of RPI with a K(i) of…

Crystal structure of D‐ribose‐5‐phosphate isomerase (RpiA) from Escherichia coli
TLDR
The crystal structure of E. coli RpiA is determined at 2.5 Å resolution and the transfer of protons between the first and the second carbon atoms of the pentose-5 -phosphate substrate has been suggested to proceed through a single base mechanism involving a cis-enediol(ate).

Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase type B from Trypanosoma cruzi: kinetic properties and site-directed mutagenesis reveal information about the reaction mechanism.
TLDR
The present paper contributes to the know-ledge of the mechanism of the Rpi reaction; in addition, the absence of RpiBs in the genomes of higher animals makes this enzyme a possible target for chemotherapy of Chagas disease.
Competitive Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ribose-5-phosphate Isomerase B Reveal New Information about the Reaction Mechanism*
TLDR
Studies of RpiB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis together with small molecules designed to resemble the enediolate intermediate are presented, to outline the reaction mechanism for RpiBs.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis ribose-5-phosphate isomerase has a known fold, but a novel active site.

A mutation in an Arabidopsis ribose 5-phosphate isomerase reduces cellulose synthesis and is rescued by exogenous uridine.
TLDR
The Arabidopsis radial swelling mutant rsw10 showed ballooning of root trichoblasts, a lower than wild-type level of cellulose and altered levels of some monosaccharides in non-cellulosic polysaccharides, while fusion of the RSW10 promoter region to the GUS reporter gene established that the gene is expressed in many aerial tissues as well as the roots.
