Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency (RPID) is a rare human disorder caused by mutations in ribose-5-phosphate isomerase, an enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway.With only four known cases – all diagnosed between 1984 and 2019 – RPI deficiency is the second rarest disease, with Fields condition being the rarest, affecting two known individuals, Catherine and Kirstie Fields.
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (Rpi) encoded by the RPIA gene is an enzyme (EC 5.3.1.6) that catalyzes the conversion between ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) and ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P). It is a member of a larger class of isomerases which catalyze the interconversion of chemical isomers (in this case structural isomers of pentose ).
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency, the rarest disease in the world, [13] [14] is also linked to an imbalance of R5P. Although the molecular pathology of the disease is poorly understood, hypotheses included decreased RNA synthesis.
The precursor 45S rDNA is organized into 5 clusters (each has 30-40 repeats) on chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22. These are transcribed in the nucleolus by RNA polymerase I . 45S is processed in the nucleus via 32S rRNA to 28S [ 6 ] and 5.8S , [ 7 ] and via 30S to 18S , [ 8 ] as shown in the diagram. 18S is a component of the ribosomal 40S ...
In enzymology, a ribose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction D-ribose ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } D-ribulose Hence, this enzyme has one substrate , D-ribose , and one product , D-ribulose .
Phosphohexose Isomerase Deficiency (PHI) is also known as phosphoglucose isomerase deficiency or Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase deficiency, and is a hereditary enzyme deficiency. PHI is the second most frequent erthoenzyopathy in glycolysis besides pyruvate kinase deficiency , and is associated with non-spherocytic haemolytic anaemia of variable ...
Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms . Vitamin B12 deficiency has a few hallmark symptoms, according to doctors: Lack of energy. Mental fatigue. Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Lack of appetite. Weight loss
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase deficiency affects step 2 of glycolysis. Triosephosphate isomerase deficiency affects step 5 of glycolysis. Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency affects step 7 of glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase deficiency affects the 10th and last step of glycolysis. [citation needed]
