Cytosolic D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase from rice was crystallized after EDTA treatment and structurally elucidated by X-ray diffraction to 1.9A resolution. A prominent Zn(2+) site at the active center was established in a soaking experiment. The structure was compared with that of the EDTA-treated crystalline enzyme from the chloroplasts of potato plant leaves showing some structural differences, in particular the "closed" state of a strongly conserved mobile loop covering the substrate at its putative binding site ...
