Problems solved by technology

However, production processes of L-glutamate oxidase are not necessarily simple.
X-119-6 is difficult to produce through liquid culturing, and therefore, solid culturing is employed to produce the enzyme.
However, hitherto, neither analysis of a gene encoding L-glutamate oxidase nor the amino acid sequence of the enzyme has been reported.

Analysis of a Gene Encoding L-Glutamate Oxidase

(1) Probe

[0056] L-glutamate oxidase derived from Streptomyces sp. X-119-6 (ATCC 39343) is constituted by three subunits. In the present invention, the following probes (probe α and probe γ) were used. The probes were designed on the basis of the N-terminal amino acid sequences of α and γ subunits, which had been previously analyzed (α subunit: Ala-Asn-Glu-Met-Thr-Tyr-Glu . . . , γ subunit: Ala-Ile-Val-Thr-Ile-Pro-Phe . . . ).

[0057] Probe α: 5′-AACGAGATGAC(C or G)TACGAGCA-3′

(20 mers, 2 probes, (G+C) content=50%, Tm=60° C.)

[0058] Probe γ: 5′-GC(C or G)ATCGT(C or G)AC(C or G)ATCCC(C or G)TT-3′

(20 mers, 16 probes, (G+C) content=50%, Tm=64° C.)

(2) Cloning

[0059] A chromosomal DNA derived from Streptomyces sp. X-119-6 (ATCC 39343) was prepared through a conventional method, and the DNA was cleaved with BamHI. Subsequently, the resultant DNA fragments were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, to thereby obtain DNA fragments havin...

Production of L-Glutamate Oxidase by Use of E. coli (1)

[0071] The L-glutamate oxidase gene ORF was amplified through PCR by use of the following two primers (A) and (B) (purchased from Pharmacia) and, as a DNA sample, plasmid pGS1 containing a full-length L-glutamate oxidase gene.

Primer (A):5′-CCACACCGGGGCCGAATTCATGAACCGAGAT-3′Primer (B):5′-AGGTACTCGGCCACCCTGCAGGTC-3′

[0072] Amplification of the L-glutamate oxidase gene through PCR was performed by use of a GeneAmp PCR System 2400 (product of Perkin-Elmer Cetus Instrument) through 25 cycles of treatment, each cycle consisting of thermal denaturation (96° C., 10 seconds), annealing (55° C., 30 seconds), and polymerization (60° C., 120 seconds) of 50 μL reaction mixture which contained 10×PCR buffer (5 μL), 25 mM MgCl2 (5 μL), dNTP (8 μl), primer DNAs (A) and (B) (10 pmol each), the DNA sample (about 0.5 μg), and LA Tag DNA Polymerase (product of Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.).

Production of L-Glutamate Oxidase by Use of E. coli (2)

[0086] The L-glutamate oxidase gene was amplified by use of an LA-PCR kit (product of Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.), the following two primers (C) and (D), which were produced on the basis of the ORF nucleotide sequence obtained through the above analysis, and chromosomal DNA derived from Streptomyces sp. X-119-6 (ATCC 39343) serving as a template.

Primer (C):5′-GCGCCATGGAGGAATTCGCGCATGAACGAGATGACCTACGAGGAGCTGGCCGGC3′Primer (D):5′-GCGAAGCTTGATCATGACGTCAGTGCTTCCTCTCGCATC3′

[0087] Amplification of the L-glutamate oxidase gene by use of the LA-PCR kit was performed by means of a PCR Thermal Cycler (product of Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.) through cycles of treatment, each cycle consisting of thermal denaturation (94° C.), annealing (68° C.), and elongation (68° C.) of GC buffer I•II solution (included in the LA-PCR Kit) containing dNTP, LA Tag, a template DNA (genomic DNA treated with SacI), and the primers (C) and (D).

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel L-glutamate oxidase, a gene encoding the enzyme, and a method for producing the enzyme. By use of a gene encoding the enzyme, L-glutamate oxidase can be readily prepared at low costs through a recombinant DNA technique. The novel L-glutamate oxidase has the following physicochemical properties: (A) action: catalyzing the following reaction: L-glutamic acid+O2+H2O→α-ketoglutaric acid+H2O2+NH3; (B) substrate specificity: being specific to L-glutamic acid; (C) molecular weight and subunit structure: molecular weight as determined through SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of 70,000±6,000, molecular weight as determined through gel filtration of 140,000±10,000, and being a dimer formed of the same subunits having a molecular weight of 70,000±6,000; (D) optimum pH: around pH 6.0 to 8.5; (E) heat stability: being stable up to 60° C. at a pH of 7.4 for 30 minutes; and (F) coenzyme: flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a novel L-glutamate oxidase; a gene encoding the enzyme, and a method for producing the enzyme. BACKGROUND ART [0002] L-Glutamate oxidase is an enzyme which catalyzes the following reaction: L-glutamic acid+O2+H2O→α-ketoglutaric acid+H2O2+NH3. [0003] The known species of L-Glutamate oxidase include those obtained through isolation and purification from Streptomyces sp. X-119-6, Streptomyces violascens, and Streptomyces endus [0004] (Agric. Biol. Chem., 47, 1323-1328 (1983), Chem. Pharm. Bull., 31, 1307-1314 (1983), Chem. Pharm. Bull., 31, 3609-3616 (1983), Eur. J. Biochem., 182, 327-332 (1989)). [0005] These L-glutamate oxidases have the following characteristics in common: (1) being produced from microorganisms belonging to genus Streptomyces; (2) remarkably high substrate specificity to L-glutamic acid; (3) comparatively stable under variations in temperature and pH; and (4) being a flavin enzyme requiring FAD as a coenzyme. ...
