show Brenda entry

EC number

5.1.3.31

Accepted name

D-tagatose 3-epimerase

Reaction

(1) D-tagatose = D-sorbose;;(2) D-psicose = D-fructose

Other name(s)

L-ribulose 3-epimerase, ketose 3-epimerase

Systematic name

D-tagatose 3-epimerase

Comment

The enzymes isolated from the bacteria Pseudomonas cichorii [2], Pseudomonas sp. ST-24 [1], Rhodobacter sphaeroides [3] and Mesorhizobium loti [4] catalyse the epimerization of various ketoses at the C-3 position, interconverting D-fructose and D-psicose, D-tagatose and D-sorbose, D-ribulose and D-xylulose, and L-ribulose and L-xylulose. The specificity depends on the species. The enzymes from Pseudomonas cichorii and Rhodobacter sphaeroides require Mn²⁺ [2,3].
