ABSTRACT

Glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) is of interest for its potential applications in the field of glucose sensors. To improve the performance of glucose sensors, GDH is required to have strict substrate specificity. A novel flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent GDH was isolated from Mucor prainii NISL0103 and its enzymatic properties were characterized. This FAD-dependent GDH (MpGDH) exhibited high specificity toward glucose. High specificity for glucose was also observed even in the presence of saccharides such as maltose, galactose and xylose. The molecular masses of the glycoforms of GDH ranged from 90 to 130 kDa. After deglycosylation, a single 80 kDa band was observed. The gene encoding MpGDH was cloned and expressed in Aspergillus sojae. The apparent kcat and Km values of recombinant enzyme for glucose were found to be 749.7 s(-1) and 28.3 mM, respectively. The results indicated that the characteristics of MpGDH were suitable for assaying blood glucose levels.

ABSTRACT

The gene encoding histamine dehydrogenase in Rhizobium sp. 4--9 has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The coding region of the gene was 2,079 bp and encoded a protein of 693 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 76,732 Da. This histamine dehydrogenase was related to histamine dehydrogenase from Nocardioides simplex (54.5% identical), trimethylamine dehydrogenase from Methylophilus methylotrophus (39.3% identical) and dimethylamine dehydrogenase from Hyphomicrobium X (38.1% identical), which have a covalent 6-S-cysteinyl flavin mononucleotide and a [4Fe--4S] cluster as redox cofactors. Sequence alignment and a UV-visible absorption spectrum supported the presence of these cofactors in this histamine dehydrogenase. The investigation of the enzymatic properties suggested that this enzyme exhibited the most excellent substrate specificity toward histamine among all amine oxidases or dehydrogenases found to date. The recombinant enzyme was able to be used for the colorimetric determination of histamine, which gave a linear calibration curve and identical data with conventional methods.
