The enzymes isolated from the bacteria Pseudomonas cichorii , Pseudomonas sp. ST-24 , Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Mesorhizobium loti 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].

D-tagatose 3-epimerase
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].
specificity is highest with D-fructose and decreases for other substrates in the order: D-tagatose, D-psicose, D-ribulose, D-xylulose and D-sorbose. The equilibrium ratio between D-psicose and D-fructose is 23:77 after 24 h at 40°C
RsDTE wild-type shows lower Michaelis-Menten constant (Km), lower turnover number (kcat), but higher catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) values for D-fructose than for D-psicose. The kcat/Km for D-fructose is 5.5fold higher than for D-psicose, indicating that enzyme RsDTE highly catalyzes D-fructose, although it is a D-tagatose 3-epimerase

the O1 of substrate D-fructose forms hydrogen bonds with His192 and Glu162 to help the correct metal coordination of the substrate. The O2 forms hydrogen bonds with His192 and Arg221. Glu156 forms hydrogen bonds with O3, and Glu250 directs its OE2 atom to a hydrogen atom attached to C3. Because D-fructose has the same configurations of C1, C2 and C3 as D-tagatose, the interactions between D-fructose at the 1-, 2- and 3-positions and the enzyme are very similar to those in other DTE/DPE family enzymes. Residue R118 forms a hydrogen bond with O4 of D-fructose and may regulate the substrate specificity. The strengthened hydrophobic interaction may attribute to the recognition of D-tagatose, D-psicose, and D-sorbose. Enzyme homology modeling and structure comparisons, overview

site-directed mutagenesis, the unique hydrogen bond between Arg118 and O4 of D-fructose is broken when Arg118 is mutated to Trp, the mutation improves the substrate recognition and activity of the enzyme. The mutant enzyme RsDTE_R118W shows decreased catalytic activity compared to the wild-type enzyme toward D-fructose, the kcat/Km for D-tagatose is about twofold higher than for D-psicose. Mutant R118W shows 1.5fold higher catalytic efficiency toward D-tagatose than the wild-type
