The invention belongs to the technical field of biological
enzyme engineering, and particularly relates to a D-
psicose 3-epimerase
mutant derived from
rumen clostridium and application of the D-
psicose 3-epimerase
mutant. The
mutant disclosed by the invention is obtained through specific single-
point mutation on the basis of a
wild type amino acid sequence of D-
psicose 3-epimerase, and specifically, the mutant is obtained through
mutation of the following five sites: L159V, Q164E, N238T, E288G and C289I; wherein mutants containing all five
single point mutations are named as XT mutants. The mutants significantly improve the
thermal stability of the
enzyme and the catalytic conversion rate under high
substrate concentration, especially under the high
substrate concentration of 300-700 g / L, the conversion rate of D-psicose of the XT mutant is improved by 2-3% compared with that of a
wild type, and the
thermal stability of the XT mutant is improved by 28 times compared with that of the
wild type. The mutant is suitable for a high-temperature and high-substrate-concentration industrial conversion
system, the production cost of D-psicose can be remarkably reduced, and the mutant has important industrial application value.
