Identifier

ARAA

Protein name

RecName: Full=L-arabinose isomerase; EC=5.3.1.4;

Gene name

araA

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the conversion of L-arabinose to L-ribulose (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-arabinose = L-ribulose.

COFACTOR: Binds 1 manganese ion per subunit (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Carbohydrate degradation; L-arabinose degradation via L-ribulose; D-xylulose 5-phosphate from L-arabinose (bacteria route): step 1/3.

SUBUNIT: Homohexamer (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the arabinose isomerase family.
