Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of genetic engineering of enzymes and enzyme biochemical engineering. The present invention relates to a mutant xylose isomerase with improved activity, and also relates to a gene encoding the mutant xylose isomerase. Background technique
[0002] Xylose isomerase (Xylose Isomerase, XI) (EC 5.3.1.5), also known as glucose isomerase, can catalyze the isomerization reaction of D-xylose to D-xylulose and D-glucose to D-fructose, It plays an important role in the metabolism of sugar in microorganisms and has been used in the industrial production of high fructose syrup [Bhosale SH, Rao MB and Deshpande VV. Molecular and Industrial Aspects of Glucose Isomerase. Microbiol. Rev., 1996, 60 : 280-300]. Xylose isomerase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 [Zeikus JG, Vieille C, Savchenko A. Thermozymes: biotechnology and structure function relationships. Extremophiles, 1998, 2(3): 179-183], the optimum reaction temperature is abou...
