Comments [?]

FUNCTIONCatalyzes the isomerization of L-ribulose 5-phosphate to D- xylulose 5-phosphate. Is involved in the anaerobic L-ascorbate utilization.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=L-ribulose 5-phosphate = D-xylulose 5-phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22368, ChEBI:CHEBI:57737, ChEBI:CHEBI:58226; EC=5.1.3.4;
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
PATHWAYCofactor degradation; L-ascorbate degradation; D-xylulose 5- phosphate from L-ascorbate: step 4/4.
INDUCTIONInduced by L-ascorbate. Repressed by UlaR.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the aldolase class II family. AraD/FucA subfamily.
