Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a hexuronate C4-epimerase variant with improved activity in converting D-fructose by D-tagatose of hexuronate C4-epimerase and a method for production of D-tagatose using them.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hexuronate C4-epimerase variant in which serine (S) as an amino acid residue at position 185 from the N-terminus of a hexuronate C4-epimerase consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 is replaced by alanine (A), glycine (G), histidine (H), lysine (K), glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). 2. The hexuronate C4-epimerase variant according to claim 1 , wherein the serine (S) residue at position 125 from the N-terminus of the hexuronate C4-epimerase is further replaced by cysteine (C), tyrosine (Y), glutamine (Q), glutamic acid (E), threonine (T), asparagine (N) or aspartic acid (D). 3. The hexuronate C4-epimerase variant according to claim 2 , wherein the serine (S) residue at position 268 from the N-terminus of the hexuronate C4-epimerase is further replaced by cysteine (C) or threonine (T). 4. A composition for D-tagatose production comprising the hexuronate C4-epimerase variant according to claim 1 .
