Ribulose phosphate epimerase.
The nascent nature of the DNA pool in the 0.7 1.5 kb size range was confirmed by employing a real time PCR-based enrichment assay focused at a previously reported origin of DNA replication around the human ribulose phosphate epimerase (RPE) gene [13].

The overexpressed enzymes were xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.17), ribulose 5-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.6), ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase (EC 5.3.1.1), transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) and transaldolase (EC 2.2.1.2).
Together with other strategies, including the overexpression of the genes XKS1 (xylulokinase), TAL1 (transaldolase), TKL1 (transketolase), RKI1 (ribose 5-phosphate isomerase) and RPE1 (ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase) in the non-oxidative PPP and the inactivation of GRE3 (aldose reductase) and PHO13 (alkaline phosphatase), a functional xylose metabolic pathway was constructed in BSIF.
Glycoside hydrolase and N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate epimerase genes present within the region in both groups of strains share 50% nucleotide sequence identity.
The gtpase and tpk genes are separated by 663 bp, of which 645 bp correspond to a predicted ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase (epi).
The fact that Sagtpase is separated from Satpk on the operon by an additional ORF, encoding for a putative ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase, suggests that SaGTPase might also participate in other processes, which awaits further analysis.
The following putative CDS were identified in B. hyodysenteriae: i) ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase (rep: BHWA1_00002); ii) ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (rpiB: BHWA1_01037); iii) transketolase (tkt: BHWA1_00091 and BHWA1_00092); and iv) transaldolase (BHWA1_01968); these enzymes combine to convert glucose-6-phosphate to ribulose-5-phosphate.
In addition, ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase (Ru5P) is encoded by gene rpe.
This reaction occurs immediately prior to the ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase reaction, raising the intriguing possibility that the fusion protein may catalyze both reactions.
There are however examples which indicate that this could be the result of a later selection for modern metal-independent enzymes: ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase in Escherichia coli uses ferrous iron for its catalytic function [ 43], whereas the analogous ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase enzymes of higher organisms are not iron dependent [ 44].
