Abstract
In this work, direct electron transfer (DET)-type extended gate field effect transistor (EGFET) enzymatic sensors were developed by employing DET-type or quasi-DET-type enzymes to detect glucose or lactate in both 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer and artificial sweat. The system employed either a DET-type glucose dehydrogenase or a quasi-DET-type lactate oxidase, the latter of which was a mutant enzyme with suppressed oxidase activity and modified with amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate. These enzymes were immobilized on the extended gate electrodes. Changes in the measured transistor drain current (ID) resulting from changes to the working electrode junction potential (φ) were observed as glucose and lactate concentrations were varied. Calibration curves were generated for both absolute measured ID and ΔID (normalized to a blank solution containing no substrate) to account for variations in enzyme immobilization and conjugation to the mediator and variations in reference electrode potential. This work resulted in a limit of detection of 53.9 μM (based on ID) for glucose and 2.12 mM (based on ID) for lactate, respectively. The DET-type and Quasi-DET-type EGFET enzymatic sensor was then modeled using the case of the lactate sensor as an equivalent circuit to validate the principle of sensor operation being driven through OCP changes caused by the substrate-enzyme interaction. The model showed slight deviation from collected empirical data with 7.3% error for the slope and 8.6% error for the y-intercept.

Abstract
The accomplishment of concurrent interenzyme chain reaction and direct electric communication in a multienzyme-electrode is challenging since the required condition of multienzymatic binding conformation is quite complex. In this study, an enzyme cascade-induced bioelectrocatalytic system has been constructed using solid binding peptide (SBP) as a molecular binder that coimmobilizes the invertase (INV) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase gamma-alpha complex (GDHγα) cascade system on a single electrode surface. The SBP-fused enzyme cascade was strategically designed to induce diverse relative orientations of coupling enzymes while enabling efficient direct electron transfer (DET) at the FAD cofactor of GDHγα and the electrode interface. The interenzyme relative orientation was found to determine the intermediate delivery route and affect overall chain reaction efficiency. Moreover, interfacial DET between the fusion GDHγα and the electrode was altered by the binding conformation of the coimmobilized enzyme and fusion INVs. Collectively, this work emphasizes the importance of interenzyme orientation when incorporating enzymatic cascade in an electrocatalytic system and demonstrates the efficacy of SBP fusion technology as a generic tool for developing cascade-induced direct bioelectrocatalytic systems. The proposed approach is applicable to enzyme cascade-based bioelectronics such as biofuel cells, biosensors, and bioeletrosynthetic systems utilizing or producing complex biomolecules.

Abstract
The heterotrimeric flavin adenine dinucleotide dependent glucose dehydrogenase is a promising enzyme for direct electron transfer (DET) principle-based glucose sensors within continuous glucose monitoring systems. We elucidate the structure of the subunit interface of this enzyme by preparing heterotrimer complex protein crystals grown under a space microgravity environment. Based on the proposed structure, we introduce inter-subunit disulfide bonds between the small and electron transfer subunits (5 pairs), as well as the catalytic and the electron transfer subunits (9 pairs). Without compromising the enzyme's catalytic efficiency, a mutant enzyme harboring Pro205Cys in the catalytic subunit, Asp383Cys and Tyr349Cys in the electron transfer subunit, and Lys155Cys in the small subunit, is determined to be the most stable of the variants. The developed engineered enzyme demonstrate a higher catalytic activity and DET ability than the wild type. This mutant retains its full activity below 70 °C as well as after incubation at 75 °C for 15 min - much higher temperatures than the current gold standard enzyme, glucose oxidase, is capable of withstanding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems allow precise and real-time blood glucose control, current electrochemicalbased CGM technologies inherently harbor enzyme instability issues. The direct electron transfer (DET) type open circuit potential (OCP) based enzyme sensing principle can minimize the catalytic turnover of the enzyme reaction, thereby providing longer-term operational stability in future CGM glucose sensors. METHOD DET-type OCP based glucose sensors were constructed using gold disk electrodes with glucose dehydrogenase capable of DET which was immobilized using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The single enzyme layer prepared on the gold electrode was operated in the presence of glucose, using in vitro buffer solution, continuously for over 3 months with the OCP sensor signal monitored every 10 seconds at 25°C. RESULTS The DET-type OCP glucose sensor was continuously operated for more than 3 months without a significant decrease of the sensor signal and sensitivity (slope). These results suggest that the DET-type OCP glucose sensor is far more stable than the sensor constructed based on the amperometric principle. The long-term stability of DET-type OCP glucose sensor is attributed to the enzyme's minimized catalytic reaction during the operation, thereby extending the lifetime of enzyme. CONCLUSION The DET-type OCP glucose sensor can be continuously operated for more than 3 months at 25 °C, in vitro without significant decreases in sensor signal and sensitivity. While the further investigation will be required for in vivo validation, the DET-type OCP glucose sensor is ideal for next generation CGM's, especially in long duration implantable use cases.

Abstract
Oriented enzyme immobilization on electrodes is crucial for interfacial electrical coupling of direct electron transfer (DET)-based enzyme-electrode systems. As inorganic-binding peptides are introduced as molecular binders and enzyme-orienting agents, inorganic-binding peptide-fused enzymes should be designed and constructed to achieve efficient DET. In this study, it is aimed to compare the effects of various gold-binding peptides (GBPs) fused to enzymes on electrocatalytic activity, bioactivity, and material-binding behaviors. Here, GBPs with identical gold-binding properties but different amino acid sequences were fused to the FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase gamma-alpha complex (GDHγα) to generate four GDHγα variants. The structural, biochemical, mechanical, and bioelectrochemical properties of these GDHγα variants immobilized on electrode were determined by their fused GBPs. Our results confirmed that the GBP type is vital in the design, construction, and optimization of GBP-fused enzyme-modified electrodes for facile interfacial DET and practical DET-based enzyme-electrode systems. The four GBP sequences are genetically fused to catalytic subunit of GDHγα complex The cofactor-surface interface was investigated with 3D models of fusion enzymes The four systems exhibit diverse electrochemical results depending on GBP type

Abstract
The development of wearable multiplexed biosensors has been focused on systems to measure sweat l-lactate and other metabolites, where the employment of the direct electron transfer (DET) principle is expected. In this paper, a fusion enzyme between an engineered l-lactate oxidase derived from Aerococcus viridans, AvLOx A96L/N212K mutant, which is minimized its oxidase activity and b-type cytochrome protein was constructed to realize multiplexed DET-type lactate and glucose sensors. The sensor with a fusion enzyme showed DET to a gold electrode, with a limited operational range less than 0.5 mM. A mutation was introduced into the fusion enzyme to increase Km value and eliminate its substrate inhibition to construct "b2LOxS". Together with the employment of an outer membrane, the detection range of the sensor with b2LOxS was expanded up to 10 mM. A simultaneous lactate and glucose monitoring system was constructed using a flexible thin-film multiplexed electrodes with b2LOxS and a DET-type glucose dehydrogenase, and evaluated their performance in the artificial sweat. The sensors achieved simultaneous detection of lactate and glucose without cross-talking error, with the detected linear ranges of 0.5-20 mM for lactate and 0.1-5 mM for glucose, sensitivities of 4.1 nA/mM∙mm2 for lactate and 56 nA/mM∙mm2 for glucose, and limit of detections of 0.41 mM for lactate and 0.057 mM for glucose. The impact of the presence of electrochemical interferants (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen and uric acid), was revealed to be negligible. This is the first report of the DET-type enzyme based lactate and glucose dual sensing systems.

Abstract
In the present work, direct electron transfer (DET) based biosensing system for the determination of glucose has been fabricated by utilizing gold binding peptide (GBP) fused flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) from Burkholderia cepacia. The GBP fused FAD-GDH was immobilized on the working electrode surface of screen-printed electrode (SPE) which consists of gold working electrode, a silver pseudo-reference electrode and a platinum counter electrode, to develop the biosensing system with compact design and favorable sensing ability. The bioelectrochemical and mechanical properties of GBP fused FAD-GDH (GDH-GBP) immobilized SPE (GDH-GBP/Au) were investigated. Here, the binding affinity of GDH-GBP on Au surface, was highly increased after fusion of gold binding peptide and its uniform monolayer was formed on Au surface. In the cyclic voltammetry (CV), GDH-GBP/Au displayed significantly high oxidative peak currents corresponding to glucose oxidation which is almost c.a. 10-fold enhanced value compared with that from native GDH immobilized SPE (GDH/Au). As well, GDH-GBP/Au has shown 92.37% of current retention after successive potential scans. In the chronoamperometry, its steady-state catalytic current was monitored in various conditions. The dynamic range of GDH-GBP/Au was shown to be 3-30 mM at 30 °C and exhibits high selectivity toward glucose in whole human blood. Additionally, temperature dependency of GDH-GBP/Au on DET capability was also investigated at 30-70 °C. Considering this efficient and stable glucose sensing with simple and easy sensor fabrication, GDH-GBP based sensing platform can provide new insight for future biosensor in research fields that rely on DET.

Abstract
The history of the development of glucose sensors goes hand-in-hand with the history of the discovery and the engineering of glucose-sensing enzymes. Glucose oxidase (GOx) has been used for glucose sensing since the development of the first electrochemical glucose sensor. The principle utilizing oxygen as the electron acceptor is designated as the first-generation electrochemical enzyme sensors. With increasing demand for hand-held and cost-effective devices for the "self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)", second-generation electrochemical sensor strips employing electron mediators have become the most popular platform. To overcome the inherent drawback of GOx, namely, the use of oxygen as the electron acceptor, various glucose dehydrogenases (GDHs) have been utilized in second-generation principle-based sensors. Among the various enzymes employed in glucose sensors, GDHs harboring FAD as the redox cofactor, FADGDHs, especially those derived from fungi, fFADGDHs, are currently the most popular enzymes in the sensor strips of second-generation SMBG sensors. In addition, the third-generation principle, employing direct electron transfer (DET), is considered the most elegant approach and is ideal for use in electrochemical enzyme sensors. However, glucose oxidoreductases capable of DET are limited. One of the most prominent GDHs capable of DET is a bacteria-derived FADGDH complex (bFADGDH). bFADGDH has three distinct subunits; the FAD harboring the catalytic subunit, the small subunit, and the electron-transfer subunit, which makes bFADGDH capable of DET. In this review, we focused on the two representative glucose sensing enzymes, fFADGDHs and bFADGDHs, by presenting their discovery, sources, and protein and enzyme properties, and the current engineering strategies to improve their potential in sensor applications.

X-ray structure of the direct electron transfer-type FAD glucose dehydrogenase catalytic subunit complexed with a hitchhiker protein. ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION D-STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY 2019; 75:841-851. [PMID: 31478907 PMCID: PMC6719666 DOI: 10.1107/s2059798319010878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2019] [Accepted: 08/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
The X-ray structure of the catalytic subunit of Burkholderia cepacia FAD glucose dehydrogenase complexed with a hitchhiker protein was determined as a representative molecule of direct electron transfer-type FAD-dependent dehydrogenase complexes. The 3Fe–4S cluster is present at the surface of the catalytic subunit and serves in the intramolecular and intermolecular electron transfer from FAD to the electron-transfer subunit. The bacterial flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase complex derived from Burkholderia cepacia (BcGDH) is a representative molecule of direct electron transfer-type FAD-dependent dehydrogenase complexes. In this study, the X-ray structure of BcGDHγα, the catalytic subunit (α-subunit) of BcGDH complexed with a hitchhiker protein (γ-subunit), was determined. The most prominent feature of this enzyme is the presence of the 3Fe–4S cluster, which is located at the surface of the catalytic subunit and functions in intramolecular and intermolecular electron transfer from FAD to the electron-transfer subunit. The structure of the complex revealed that these two molecules are connected through disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions, and that the formation of disulfide bonds is required to stabilize the catalytic subunit. The structure of the complex revealed the putative position of the electron-transfer subunit. A comparison of the structures of BcGDHγα and membrane-bound fumarate reductases suggested that the whole BcGDH complex, which also includes the membrane-bound β-subunit containing three heme c moieties, may form a similar overall structure to fumarate reductases, thus accomplishing effective electron transfer.

Abstract
Faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (faradaic EIS) is an attractive measurement principle for biosensors. However, there have been no reports on sensors employing direct electron transfer (DET)-type redox enzymes based on faradaic EIS principle. In this study, we have attempted to construct the 3rd-generation faradaic enzyme EIS sensor, which used DET-type flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) complex, to elucidate its characteristic properties as well as to investigate its potential application as the future immunosensor platform. The gold disk electrodes (GDEs) with DET-type FADGDH prepared using self-assembled monolayer (SAM) showed the glucose concentration dependent impedance change, which was confirmed by the change in the charge transfer resistance (Rct). The Δ(1/Rct) values were also affected by DC bias potential and the length of SAM. Based on the Nyquist plot and Bode plot simulations, glucose sensing by imaginary impedance monitoring under fixed frequency (5 mHz) was carried out, revealing the higher sensitivity at low glucose concentration with wider linear range (0.02-0.2 mM). Considering this high sensitivity toward glucose, the 3rd-generation faradaic enzyme EIS sensor would provide alternative platform for future impedimetric immunosensing system, which does not use redox probe.

Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are most important in the current Type I diabetes care and as component for the development of artificial pancreas systems because the amount of insulin being supplied is calculated based on the CGM results. Therefore, to stably and accurately control the blood glucose level, CGM should be stable and accurate for a long period. We have been engaged in the biomolecular engineering and application of FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase complex (FADGDH) which is capable of direct electron transfer. In this study, we report the development of the third-generation type open circuit potential (OCP) principle-based glucose sensor with direct electron transfer FADGDH immobilized on gold electrodes using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). We developed a novel algorithm for OCP-based glucose sensors. By employing this new algorithm, high reproducibility of measurement and sensor preparation were achieved. In addition, the signal was not affected by the presence of acetaminophen and ascorbic acid in the sample solution. The thus optimized third-generation OCP-based glucose sensor could be operated continuously for more than 9 days without significant change in the signal, sensitivity and dynamic range, indicating its potential application for CGM systems.

Abstract
The FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase from Burkholderia cepacia (FADGDH) is a hetero-oligomeric enzyme that is capable of direct electron transfer (DET) with an electrode. The cytochrome c (cyt c) subunit, which possesses three hemes (heme 1, heme 2, and heme 3, from the N-terminal sequence), is known to enable DET; however, details of the electron transfer pathway remain unknown. A mutagenesis investigation of the heme axial ligands was carried out to elucidate the electron transfer pathway to the electron mediators and/or the electrode. The sixth axial ligand for each of the three heme irons, Met109, Met263, and Met386 were substituted with His. The catalytic activities of the wild-type (WT) and mutant enzymes were compared by investigating their dye-mediated dehydrogenase activities and their DET abilities toward the electrode. The results suggested that (1) heme 1 with Met109 as an axial ligand is mainly responsible for the electron transfer with electron acceptors in the solution, but not for the DET with the electrode; (2) heme 2 with Met263 is responsible for the DET-type reaction with the electrode; and (3) heme 3 with Met386 seemed to be the electron acceptor from the catalytic subunit. From these results, two electron transfer pathways were proposed depending on the electron acceptors. Electrons are transferred from the catalytic subunit to heme 3, then to heme 2, to heme 1 and, finally, to electron acceptors in solution. However, if the enzyme complex is immobilized on the electrode and is used as electron acceptors, electrons are passed to the electrode from heme 2.

Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a vital technology for diabetes patients by providing tight glycemic control. Currently, many commercially available CGM sensors use glucose oxidase (GOD) as sensor element, but this enzyme is not able to transfer electrons directly to the electrode without oxygen or an electronic mediator. We previously reported a mutated FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase complex (FADGDH) capable of direct electron transfer (DET) via an electron transfer subunit without involving oxygen or a mediator. In this study, we investigated the electrochemical response of DET by controlling the immobilization of DET-FADGDH using 3 types of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with varying lengths. With the employment of DET-FADGDH and SAM, high current densities were achieved without being affected by interfering substances such as acetaminophen and ascorbic acid. Additionally, the current generated from DET-FADGDH electrodes decreased with increasing length of SAM, suggesting that the DET ability can be affected by the distance between the enzyme and the electrode. These results indicate the feasibility of controlling the immobilization state of the enzymes on the electrode surface.

Abstract
Flavin-adenine dinucleotide (FAD) dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) is a thermostable, oxygen insensitive redox enzyme used in bioelectrochemical applications. The FAD cofactor of the enzyme is buried within the proteinaceous matrix of the enzyme, which makes it almost unreachable for a direct communication with an electrode. In this study, FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase was fused to a natural minimal cytochrome domain in its c-terminus to achieve direct electron transfer. We introduce a fusion enzyme that can communicate with an electrode directly, without the use of a mediator molecule. The new fusion enzyme, with its direct electron transfer abilities displays superior activity to that of the native enzyme, with a kcat that is ca. 3 times higher than that of the native enzyme, a kcat/KM that is more than 3 times higher than that of GDH and 5 to 7 times higher catalytic currents with an onset potential of ca. (-) 0.15 V vs Ag/AgCl, affording higher glucose sensing selectivity. Taking these parameters into consideration, the fusion enzyme presented can serve as a good candidate for blood glucose monitoring and for other glucose based bioelectrochemical systems.

Abstract
Several bacterial flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-harboring dehydrogenase complexes comprise three distinct subunits: a catalytic subunit with FAD, a cytochrome c subunit containing three hemes, and a small subunit. Owing to the cytochrome c subunit, these dehydrogenase complexes have the potential to transfer electrons directly to an electrode. Despite various electrochemical applications and engineering studies of FAD-dependent dehydrogenase complexes, the intra/inter-molecular electron transfer pathway has not yet been revealed. In this study, we focused on the conserved Cys-rich region in the catalytic subunits using the catalytic subunit of FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase complex (FADGDH) as a model, and site-directed mutagenesis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were performed. By co-expressing a hitch-hiker protein (γ-subunit) and a catalytic subunit (α-subunit), FADGDH γα complexes were prepared, and the properties of the catalytic subunit of both wild type and mutant FADGDHs were investigated. Substitution of the conserved Cys residues with Ser resulted in the loss of dye-mediated glucose dehydrogenase activity. ICP-AEM and EPR analyses of the wild-type FADGDH catalytic subunit revealed the presence of a 3Fe-4S-type iron-sulfur cluster, whereas none of the Ser-substituted mutants showed the EPR spectrum characteristic for this cluster. The results suggested that three Cys residues in the Cys-rich region constitute an iron-sulfur cluster that may play an important role in the electron transfer from FAD (intra-molecular) to the multi-heme cytochrome c subunit (inter-molecular) electron transfer pathway. These features appear to be conserved in the other three-subunit dehydrogenases having an FAD cofactor.

Abstract
A novel composite material for the encapsulation of redox enzymes was prepared. Reduced graphene oxide film with adsorbed phenothiazone was used as a highly efficient composite for electron transfer between flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase and electrodes. Measured redox potential for glucose oxidation was lower than 0 V vs Ag/AgCl electrode. The fabricated biosensor showed high sensitivity of 42 mA M(-1) cm(-2), a linear range of glucose detection of 0.5-12 mM, and good reproducibility and stability as well as high selectivity for different interfering compounds. In a semibiofuel cell configuration, the hybrid film generated high power output of 345 μW cm(-2). These results demonstrate a promising potential for this composition in various bioelectronic applications.

Abstract
We report the first three-dimensional structure of fungus-derived glucose dehydrogenase using flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as the cofactor. This is currently the most advanced and popular enzyme used in glucose sensor strips manufactured for glycemic control by diabetic patients. We prepared recombinant nonglycosylated FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) derived from Aspergillus flavus (AfGDH) and obtained the X-ray structures of the binary complex of enzyme and reduced FAD at a resolution of 1.78 Å and the ternary complex with reduced FAD and D-glucono-1,5-lactone (LGC) at a resolution of 1.57 Å. The overall structure is similar to that of fungal glucose oxidases (GOxs) reported till date. The ternary complex with reduced FAD and LGC revealed the residues recognizing the substrate. His505 and His548 were subjected for site-directed mutagenesis studies, and these two residues were revealed to form the catalytic pair, as those conserved in GOxs. The absence of residues that recognize the sixth hydroxyl group of the glucose of AfGDH, and the presence of significant cavity around the active site may account for this enzyme activity toward xylose. The structural information will contribute to the further engineering of FADGDH for use in more reliable and economical biosensing technology for diabetes management.

Abstract
Glucose hydrolyzing enzymes are essential to determine blood glucose level. A high-throughput screening approach was established to identify NAD(P)-dependent glucose dehydrogenases for the application in test stripes and the respective blood glucose meters. In the current report a glucose hydrolyzing enzyme, derived from a metagenomic library by expressing recombinant DNA fragments isolated from hay infusion, was characterized. The recombinant clone showing activity on glucose as substrate exhibited an open reading frame of 987 bp encoding for a peptide of 328 amino acids. The isolated enzyme showed typical sequence motifs of short-chain-dehydrogenases using NAD(P) as a co-factor and had a sequence similarity between 33 and 35% to characterized glucose dehydrogenases from different Bacillus species. The identified glucose dehydrogenase gene was expressed in E. coli, purified and subsequently characterized. The enzyme, belonging to the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases, shows a broad substrate range with a high affinity to glucose, xylose and glucose-6-phosphate. Due to its ability to be strongly associated with its cofactor NAD(P), the enzyme is able to directly transfer electrons from glucose oxidation to external electron acceptors by regenerating the cofactor while being still associated to the protein.

Abstract
The FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) from Burkholderia cepacia has several attractive features for glucose sensing. However, expanding the application of this enzyme requires improvement of its substrate specificity, especially decreasing its high activity toward maltose. A three-dimensional structural model of the FADGDH catalytic subunit was generated by homology modeling. By comparing the predicted active site with that of glucose oxidase, the two amino acid residues serine 326 and serine 365 were targeted for site-directed mutagenesis. The single mutations that produced the highest glucose specificity were combined, leading to the creation of the S326Q/S365Y double mutant, which was virtually nonreactive to maltose while retaining high glucose dehydrogenase activity. The engineered FADGDH was used to develop a direct electron transfer-type, disposable glucose sensor strip by immobilizing the enzyme complex onto a carbon screen-printed electrode. While the electrode employing wild-type FADGDH provided dangerously flawed results in the presence of maltose, the sensor employing our engineered FADGDH showed a clear glucose concentration-dependent response that was not affected by the presence of maltose.

Abstract
Background FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) currently raises enormous interest in the field of glucose biosensors. Due to its superior properties such as high turnover rate, substrate specificity and oxygen independence, GDH makes its way into glucose biosensing. The recently discovered GDH from the ascomycete Glomerella cingulata is a novel candidate for such an electrochemical application, but also of interest to study the plant-pathogen interaction of a family of wide-spread, crop destroying fungi. Heterologous expression is a necessity to facilitate the production of GDH for biotechnological applications and to study its physiological role in the outbreak of anthracnose caused by Glomerella (anamorph Colletotrichum) spp. Results Heterologous expression of active G. cingulata GDH has been achieved in both Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris, however, the expressed volumetric activity was about 4800-fold higher in P. pastoris. Expression in E. coli resulted mainly in the formation of inclusion bodies and only after co-expression with molecular chaperones enzymatic activity was detected. The fed-batch cultivation of a P. pastoris transformant resulted in an expression of 48,000 U L-1 of GDH activity (57 mg L-1). Recombinant GDH was purified by a two-step purification procedure with a yield of 71%. Comparative characterization of molecular and catalytic properties shows identical features for the GDH expressed in P. pastoris and the wild-type enzyme from its natural fungal source. Conclusions The heterologous expression of active GDH was greatly favoured in the eukaryotic host. The efficient expression in P. pastoris facilitates the production of genetically engineered GDH variants for electrochemical-, physiological- and structural studies.

Abstract
A FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) mutant with narrow substrate specificity was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. Several characteristics of FADGDH, such as high catalytic activity and high electron transfer ability, make this enzyme suitable for application to glucose sensors. However, for further applications, improvement of the broad substrate specificity is needed. In this paper, we mutated two residues, Asn475 and Ala472, which are located near the putative active site of the catalytic subunit of FADGDH and have been predicted from the alignment with the active site of glucose oxidase. Of the 38 mutants constructed, Ala472Phe and Asn475Asp were purified and their activities were analyzed. Both mutants showed a higher specificity toward glucose compared to the wild type enzyme.

Abstract
In this paper we present a novel wireless glucose biosensing system employing direct electron transfer principle based enzyme fuel cell. Using the glucose dehydrogenase complex, which is composed of a catalytic subunit containing FAD, the cytochrome c subunit that harbors heme c as the electron transfer subunit, and chaperone-like subunit, a direct electron transfer-type glucose enzyme fuel cell was constructed. The enzyme glucose fuel cell generated electric power, and the open-circuit voltage showed glucose concentration dependence, which suggests potential applications for this glucose-sensing system. We constructed a miniaturized "all-in-one" glucose enzyme fuel cell, which represents a compartmentless fuel that is based on the direct electron transfer principle. This involved the combination of a wireless transmitter system and a simple and miniaturized continuous glucose monitoring system, which operated continuously for about 3 days with stable response. This is the first demonstration of an enzyme-based direct electron transfer-type enzyme fuel cell and fuel cell-type glucose sensor which can be utilized as a subcutaneously implantable system for continuous glucose monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important component of the modern therapy for diabetes mellitus. Thanks to the current progress in electronics and sensor fabrication technology, both the time and the blood sample volume required for the measurement have decreased drastically. However, devices that work with an even smaller sample volume and a shorter measurement time are in demand. METHODS A disposable glucose sensor that works with an ultra-small sample volume was developed employing the novel thermostable glucose-dehydrogenase (FADGDH) complex composed of a catalytic subunit, an electron transfer subunit (cytochrome c), and a small subunit. The electrode is a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), and hexaammineruthenium (III) chloride (Ru complex) is utilized as the electron mediator. A disposable enzyme sensor was constructed by depositing the FADGDH complex and Ru complex onto the SPCE, and the sensor performance was evaluated. RESULTS Whole-blood glucose can be measured within 1 sec using this enzyme sensor and a 150-nL whole-blood sample, with high precision (>0.99br>) and high reproducibility (CV<0.45%br>) within the glucose concentration range of 0-533 mg/dL. The sensor reading was stable for more than 60 days even at 70 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS The simplicity of the construction and the high precision of this FADGDH-based glucose biosensor makes it an alternative to previously reported commercially available glucose sensors. Especially the sample volume of 150 nL and the 1-sec measurement time are the highest specifications in the world for currently available glucose sensors designed for the SMBG.

Abstract
Two glucose dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.47) genes, gdh223 and gdh151, were cloned from Bacillus megaterium AS1.223 and AS1.151, and were inserted into pQE30 to construct the expression vectors, pQE30-gdh223 and pQE30-gdh151, respectively. The transformant Escherichia coli M15 with pQE30-gdh223 gave a much higher glucose dehydrogenase activity than that with the plasmid pQE30-gdh151. Thus it was used to optimize the expression of glucose dehydrogenase. An proximately tenfold increase in GDH activity was achieved by the optimization of culture and induction conditions, and the highest productivity of glucose dehydrogenase (58.7 U/ml) was attained. The recombinant glucose dehydrogenase produced by E. coli M15 (pQE30-gdh223) was then used to regenerate NADPH. NADPH was efficiently regenerated in vivo and in vitro when 0.1 M glucose was supplemented concomitantly in the reaction system. Finally, this coenzyme-regenerating system was coupled with a NADPH-dependent bioreduction for efficient synthesis of ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate from ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate.

Abstract
A novel FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) was found and its enzymatic property for glucose sensing was characterized. FAD-GDH oxidized glucose in the presence of some artificial electron acceptors, except for O2, and exhibited thermostability, high substrate specificity and a large Michaelis constant for glucose. FAD-GDH was applied to an amperometric glucose sensor with Fe(CN)6(3-) as a soluble mediator. The use of a relatively high concentration of Fe(CN)6(3-) resulted in a good linearity between the current response and the glucose concentration, taking into account a large Michaelis constant for Fe(CN)6(3-). The glucose sensor was completely insensitive to O2 and responded linearly to glucose up to 30 mM. Compared to glucose, the response to other saccharides was negligible. The sensor can be stored at room temperature in a desiccator for at least one month without any change in the response or activity.

Abstract
The thermostable glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Burkholderia cepacia sp. SM4 is composed of a catalytic subunit (alpha), an electron transfer subunit (beta), and a small gamma subunit of unknown function. We cloned a 1428-nucleotide gene encoding the beta subunit located immediately downstream of the alpha subunit. This completes the isolation of the genes encoding the three components of the GDH complex, which are clustered very close together with the same transcription polarity in the order gammaalphabeta. The deduced beta subunit amino acid sequence contains three typical heme-binding motifs and was 44-49% identical to the cytochrome c subunits of other FAD-dependent dehydrogenase complexes. The GDHgammaalphabeta complex of B. cepacia was successfully expressed in a fully active form in Escherichia coli by co-expression with cytochrome c maturation genes. Recombinant expression of the GDH complex was also found to restore glucose-dependent respiration in a GDH mutant of E. coli.

Abstract
Cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) are extracellular hemoflavoenzymes that are thought to be involved in the degradation of two of the most abundant biopolymers in the biosphere, cellulose and lignin. To date, these enzymes, consisting of a cytochrome domain and a flavin domain, have been detected and sequenced exclusively in the kingdom of fungi. Independent phylogenetic analyses of two distinct domains of CDH genes reveal that they evolved in parallel as fused genes. Whereas the cytochrome domains are unique sequence motifs, the flavin domains clearly belong to the glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) oxidoreductase family--an evolution line of widespread flavoproteins extending from the Archae to higher eukaryotes. The most probable unrooted phylogenetic tree obtained from our analysis of 52 selected GMC members reveals five principal evolutionary branches: cellobiose dehydrogenase, cholesterol oxidase (COX), hydroxynitrile lyase, alcohol oxidase (AOX)/glucose oxidase (GOX)/choline dehydrogenase, and a branch of dehydrogenases with various specificities containing also an Archaeon open reading frame (ORF). Cellobiose dehydrogenases cluster with cholesterol oxidases and the clade of various specificities, whereas hydroxynitrile lyases are closely related to glucose oxidases, alcohol oxidases, and choline dehydrogenases. The results indicate that the evolutionary line from a primordial GMC flavoprotein to extant cellobiose dehydrogenases was augmented after an early acquisition of the cytochrome domain to form two distinct branches for basidiomycetes and ascomycetes. One ascomycetous evolutionary line of CDHs has acquired a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) of type 1, the sequence of which is similar to that of corresponding domains in several glycosidases. This is the first attempt towards a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of cellobiose dehydrogenases.

Abstract
The co-expression in Escherichia coli of the gamma-subunit and the catalytic alpha-subunit of the thermostable glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Burkholderia cepacia sp. SM4 produced 12.7 U GDH activity mg(-1) protein. A 47-amino acid, twin-arginine translocase signal peptide was identified at the amino terminus of the gamma-subunit. The expression of the alpha-subunit in the absence of the gamma-subunit or the gamma-subunit signal peptide failed to produce any detectable GDH protein or activity. The gamma-subunit may be a chaperone-like component that assists folding of the alpha-subunit polypeptide to the active form and its translocation to the periplasm.

Abstract
AIMS To screen and clone a novel enzyme with specific activity for the resolution of (R)-beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyrate (RAM) from (R,S)-beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyrate [(R,S)-ester]. METHODS AND RESULTS A micro-organism that produces a novel esterase was isolated and identified as the bacterium Burkholderia cepacia by using the analysis of cellular fatty acids, Biolog automated microbial identification/characterization system, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. A novel esterase gene was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of B. cepacia and was designated as cpoA. The cpoA encodes a polypeptide of 273 amino acids which shows a strong sequence homology with many bacterial nonhaeme chloroperoxidases. In addition, a typical serine-hydrolase motif, Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly, and the highly conserved catalytic triad, Ser95, Asp224, and His253, were identified in the deduced amino acid sequence of cpoA by multiple sequence alignment. CONCLUSION The cpoA cloned from B. cepacia encodes a novel esterase which is highly related to the nonhaeme chloroperoxidases. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first report that describes the isolation and cloning of a serine esterase gene from B. cepacia, which is useful in the chiral resolution of (R,S)-ester. The cloned gene will allow additional research on the bifunctionality of the enzyme with esterase and chloroperoxidase activity at the structural and functional levels.
