A membrane-bound protein purified from Gluconobacter oxydans M5 was confirmed to be a pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent D-sorbitol dehydrogenase. Gene disruption and complementation experiments demonstrated that this enzyme is responsible for the oxidation of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl) amino-1-deoxy-D-sorbitol (1NSL) to 6-(2-hydroxyethyl) amino-6-deoxy-L-sorbose (6NSE), which is the precursor of an antidiabetic drug, miglitol.
从氧化葡萄糖酸杆菌M5中纯化得到的一种膜结合蛋白被证实为吡咯喹啉醌依赖性D-山梨醇脱氢酶。基因敲除和互补实验表明,该酶负责将1-(2-羟乙基)氨基-1-脱氧-D-山梨醇(1NSL)氧化为6-(2-羟乙基)氨基-6-脱氧-L-山梨糖(6NSE),而6NSE是抗糖尿病药物米格列醇的前体。
