Disease relevance of rpe

  • Downstream of the dam gene in the Escherichia coli genome the following three genes are located: first rpe, then a gene encoding a 27 kDa protein and finally trpS [1].
 

High impact information on rpe

  • In separate experiments, we have shown that the 24 kDa protein has d-ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase activity (similar to CbbE), and we call the gene rpe [2].
  • The recently identified gene for ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (rpe) is part of a large operon that comprises among other genes for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids [3].
  • Growth of the rpe mutant is impaired in complex LB medium and severely impaired in minimal medium containing glycolytic carbon sources or gluconate [4].
