Impaired growth of an Escherichia coli rpe mutant lacking ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase activity.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 24 Aug 1998

Lyngstadaas A, Sprenger G A, Boye E

Abstract excerpt

We present evidence that ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase, a central metabolic enzyme acting in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose-phosphate pathway, is encoded by a gene in the dam containing operon of Escherichia coli. Enzymatic assays confirm that this gene encodes ribulose-5-phosphate epim...
