Many patients with diabetes use self-measurement devices for blood glucose to understand their blood glucose levels. Most of these devices use FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) to determine blood glucose levels. For this purpose, FAD-GDHs specifically oxidizing glucose among the sugars present in blood are required. Many FAD-GDHs with high substrate specificity have been reported previously; however, their substrate specificity is insufficient as they also react with xylose. Therefore, we aimed to identify FAD-GDHs without xylose reactivity. We screened and obtained a new enzyme from Colletotrichum plurivorum (CpGDH). CpGDH showed high activity to glucose in the presence of electron mediators but low activity to xylose. We prepared the glucose oxidation products using CpGDH and subjected to TLC, HPLC, mass spectrometry, and NMR analyses. The results demonstrated that CpGDH is a previously unknown FAD-dependent glucose 6-dehydrogenase (FAD-G6DH) that oxidizes glucose to glucuronic acid. The stoichiometric ratio of the substrate and electron mediator was 1:2, suggesting that CpGDH catalyzes two-step oxidation reactions, including oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes and of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. We concluded that CpGDH has the unique substrate-binding manner based on the result of docking simulation of CpGDH with a substrate glucose. We then constructed a phylogenetic tree of carbohydrate-related flavoproteins including FAD-G6DHs, indicating that FAD-G6DHs are different from the known FAD-dependent oxidoreductases. Overall, this study is the first to report FAD-G6DHs. These results will likely contribute to the development of more accurate blood glucose sensors and further research on the metabolisms of glucosides and their metabolites.
许多糖尿病患者使用血糖自我测量设备来了解自己的血糖水平。这些设备大多使用黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸依赖的葡萄糖脱氢酶(FAD-GDH)来测定血糖水平。为此,需要在血液中存在的糖类中特异性氧化葡萄糖的FAD-GDH。此前已报道了许多具有高底物特异性的FAD-GDH;然而,它们的底物特异性不足,因为它们也会与木糖发生反应。因此,我们旨在鉴定不与木糖发生反应的FAD-GDH。我们进行了筛选,并从多聚炭疽菌(CpGDH)中获得了一种新酶。CpGDH在有电子介质存在的情况下对葡萄糖表现出高活性,但对木糖的活性较低。我们使用CpGDH制备了葡萄糖氧化产物,并进行了薄层色谱、高效液相色谱、质谱和核磁共振分析。结果表明,CpGDH是一种此前未知的黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸依赖的葡萄糖6-脱氢酶(FAD-G6DH),它将葡萄糖氧化为葡萄糖醛酸。底物与电子介质的化学计量比为1:2,这表明CpGDH催化两步氧化反应,包括伯醇氧化为醛以及醛氧化为羧酸。基于CpGDH与底物葡萄糖的对接模拟结果,我们得出CpGDH具有独特的底物结合方式。然后,我们构建了包括FAD-G6DH在内的碳水化合物相关黄素蛋白的系统发育树,表明FAD-G6DH与已知的黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸依赖的氧化还原酶不同。总体而言,本研究首次报道了FAD-G6DH。这些结果可能有助于开发更精确的血糖传感器,并进一步研究糖苷及其代谢产物的代谢。
