The 5-Ketofructose Reductase of Gluconobacter sp. Strain CHM43 Is a Novel Class in the Shikimate Dehydrogenase Family

Abstract

A limited number of species of acetic acid bacteria, such as Gluconobacter sp. strain CHM43, produce 5-ketofructose, a potential low-calorie sweetener, at a high yield. Here, we show that an NADPH-dependent 5-ketofructose reductase (KFR) is involved in 5-ketofructose degradation, and we characterize this enzyme with respect to its structure, phylogeny, and function.
