_L-Ribose isomerase (_L-RI) catalyzes the aldose-ketose isomerization between _L-ribose and _L-ribulose. In this study, a putative L-RI gene of "Geodermatophilus obscurus" DSM 43160 was cloned by PCR into pET-15b and pET-21b, respectively. The cloned target gene was expressed in "Escherichia coli". The recombinant N-His-tagged and C-His-tagged proteins exhibited L-RI activity. Both N- and C-His-tagged L-RIs were purified from cell-free extracts by metal-affinity and ionexchange chromatography. The purified N-His-tagged L-RI demonstrated its optimal activity at 30-40℃ and pH of 9 (in glycine-NaOH buffer). The enzyme was stable at pH 7-9 and more than 90% activity was retained after incubation at 40℃ for 2 h. Metal ions were not required for N-His-tagged _L-RI activity to occur, but Hg^(2+) inhibited its activity completely. The conversion rates of _L-arabinose to _L-ribose by combining "Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum" NTOU1 _L-arabinose isomerase and "G. obscurus" DSM43160 N-His-tagged _L-RI at 30℃ and 40℃ were 15.9% and 12.5% (mol mol^(-1)), respectively. Results obtained from this study suggest a potential application of this recombinant _L-RI for the _L-ribose production from _L-arabinose.
