Type: | Family | Name: | Ribose-1,5-bisphosphate isomerase, e2b2 family |
Description: | The delineation of this family was based originally, in part, on a discussion and neighbour-joining phylogenetic study [] of archaeal and other proteins homologous to the alpha, beta, and delta subunits of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF-2B), a five-subunit molecule that catalyses GTP recycling for eIF-2. Members of the family have recently been shown to function as ribulose-1,5 bisphosphate isomerases []. | Short Name: | Ribulose_e2b2 |
