DE   ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate 5-phosphatase.
AN   RuBP 5-phosphatase.
CA   D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate + H2O = D-ribulose 1-phosphate + phosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the halophilic archaeon Halopiger
CC       xanaduensis, participates in a non-carboxylating pentose bisphosphate
CC       pathway for nucleoside degradation, which is found in some halophilic
CC       archaea.
CC   -!- The enzyme requires both monovalent and divalent ions for optimal
CC       activity.
