Immobilization of UDP-Galactose 4-Epimerase from Escherichia coli on the Yeast Cell Surface.

UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2, Gal E) from Escherichia coli catalyzes the reversible reaction between UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose. In this study, the Gal E gene from E. coli, coding UDP-galactose 4-epimerase, was cloned into pYD1 plasmid and then transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae EBY100 for expression of Gal E on the cell surface. Enzyme activity analyses with EBY100 cells showed that the enzyme displayed on the yeast cell surface was very active in the conversion between UDP-Glc and UDP-Gal. It took about 3 min to reach equilibrium from UDP-galactose to UDP-glucose.[1]
