Ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.1) catalyzes the interconversion of ribulose-5-phosphate and xylulose-5-phosphate in the Calvin cycle and in the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. The enzyme from potato chloroplasts was expressed in Escherichia coli, isolated and crystallized. The
Cytosolic D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase from rice was crystallized after EDTA treatment and structurally elucidated by X-ray diffraction to 1.9A resolution. A prominent Zn(2+) site at the active center was established in a soaking experiment. The structure was compared with that of the
Sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes are able to induce the redifferentiation of root cells into multinucleate nematode feeding sites (NFSs). We have isolated by promoter trapping an Arabidopsis thaliana gene that is essential for the early steps of NFS formation induced by the root-knot nematode
