We consider a five-dimensional nonlinear pde associated
to the five-dimensional equation introduced by Martinez Alonso
and Shabat. For our equation we and differential coverings with nonremovable
parameters and list its reductions to known 4D and 3D integrable
equations. One of the coverings produces a new family of integrable
5D equations. We show that each pair of these equations is
related by a Backlund transformation, including the Backlund autotransformation
for each equation from the family. Also we find a recursion
operator for symmetries of the equation and study its action.
