Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A has an important role in sugar metabolism by interconverting ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This enzyme is ubiquitous and highly conserved among the three kingdoms of life. We have solved the 2.1 A resolution crystal structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme by molecular replacement. This protein adopts the same fold as its archaeal and bacterial orthologs with two alpha/beta domains tightly packed together. Mapping of conserved residues at the surface of the protein reveals strong invariability of the active site pocket, suggesting a common ligand binding mode and a similar catalytic mechanism. The yeast enzyme associates as a homotetramer similarly to the archaeal protein. The effect of an inactivating mutation (Arg189 to Lys) is discussed in view of the information brought by this structure.
