Hexuronate C4-epimerase mutant with improved conversion activity, and method for producing D-tagatose by using same

Abstract

A hexuronate C4-epimerase with improved conversion activity and a method for producing D-tagatose using the hexuronate C4-epimerase. The hexuronate C4-epimerase includes an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, in which serine (S) at position 125, serine (S) at position 185, valine (V) at position 267, serine (S) at position 268, threonine (T) at position 272, tryptophan (W) at position 306, arginine (R) at position 386 and tyrosine (Y) at position 403 from an N-terminal of hexunorate C4-epimerase are mutated.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
