l-arabinose isomerase (EC5.3.1.4. AI) mediates the isomerization of d-galactose into d-tagatose as well as the conversion of l-arabinose into l-ribulose. The AI from Lactobacillus plantarum SK-2 was purified to an apparent homogeneity giving a single band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass of 59.6 kDa. Optimum activity was observed at 50°C and pH 7.0. The enzyme was stable at 50°C for 2 h and held between pH 4.5 and 8.5 for 1 h. AI activity was stimulated by Mn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺, Ca²⁺ and inhibited by Cu²⁺, Ag⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺. d-galactose and l-arabinose as substrates were isomerized with high activity. l-arabitol was the strongest competitive inhibitor of AI. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K m), for galactose, was 119 mM. The first ten N-terminal amino acids of the enzyme were determined as MLSVPDYEFW, which is identical to L. plantarum (Q88S84). Using the purified AI, 390 mg tagatose could be converted from 1,000 mg galactose in 96 h, and this production corresponds to a 39% equilibrium.
