Protein name

RecName: Full=L-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase ulaE; EC=5.1.3.22; AltName: Full=L-ascorbate utilization protein E; AltName: Full=L-xylulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase;

Gene name

ulaE

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the isomerization of L-xylulose-5-phosphate to L-ribulose-5-phosphate. Is involved in the anaerobic L-ascorbate utilization (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-ribulose 5-phosphate = L-xylulose 5-phosphate.

PATHWAY: Cofactor degradation; L-ascorbate degradation; D-xylulose 5-phosphate from L-ascorbate: step 3/4.

INDUCTION: Induced by L-ascorbate. Repressed by ulaR (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the HUMPI family.
