2 Outline Introduction What is rare sugar? Bio-production strategy of rare sugars by isomerase/epimerase in Kagawa University Structure of the enzyme for rare sugar production Crystal structures of Pseudomonas cichorii D-tagatose -epimerase (D-TE) Active site structures Substrate recognition and catalytic mechanism Active site structure comparisons in complexes with substrates using crystals grown on the earth and in microgravity Substrate recognition by enzymes including deoxy sugars

3 Rare Sugars Rare sugars are monosaccharides which exist in extremely small amount in nature, but there are a lot of types. D-Galactose D-Fructose D-Xylose D-Mannose D-Ribose D-Allose D-Allulose Xylitol Rare sugar Small amount D-Glucose non-rare sugar L-Arabinose Large amount An image of the ratio of sugars in nature

4 Physiological effect of D-allulose and D-allose Attenuating effect on increase of blood glucose level 血糖値上昇の抑制効果 Reducing effect on visceral fat accumulation 内臓脂肪の蓄積の抑制効果 Antioxidant effect 抗酸化作用 Suppression of cancer cell proliferation 癌細胞の増殖抑制効果 H COH CH OH D-fructose non-rare sugar D-TE 0 kda Homo dimer (0 kda) P. cichorii D-tagatose -epimerase H COH CH OH D-allulose (D-psicose) Rare sugar L-RhI 7 kda Homo tetramer (88 kda) P. stutzeri L-rhamnose isomerase H CH OH D-allose Rare sugar How do the enzymes recognize rare sugars specifically?
