Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase B knockdown compromises Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form infectivity. [PDF]
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme involved in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, and catalyzes the inter-conversion of D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-ribulose 5-phosphate.

Vascular thiol isomerases [PDF]
AbstractThiol isomerases are multifunctional enzymes that influence protein structure via their oxidoreductase, isomerase, and chaperone activities. These enzymes localize at high concentrations in the endoplasmic reticulum of all eukaryotic cells where they serve an essential function in folding nascent proteins.

Development of a selection system for the detection of L-ribose isomerase expressing mutants of Escherichia coli [PDF]
L-Arabinose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.14) catalyzes the reversible isomerization between L-arabinose and L-ribulose and is highly selective towards L-arabinose.

Protein disulfide-isomerase interacts with a substrate protein at all stages along its folding pathway [PDF]
In contrast to molecular chaperones that couple protein folding to ATP hydrolysis, protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) catalyzes protein folding coupled to formation of disulfide bonds (oxidative folding).

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]
This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss. [PDF]
The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...
