FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase gene
First Claim
1. A biosensor comprising a recombinant FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase, wherein the recombinant FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase is selected from:
- (a) a polypeptide which comprises the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO;
1; and
(b) a polypeptide which comprises an amino acid sequence having a homology of 90% or more to the amino acid sequence (a) and has an FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase activity;
wherein the recombinant FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase has a value of enzymatic activity for maltose of 10% or less with a value of enzymatic activity for D-glucose taken as 100%; and
wherein the biosensor is capable of detecting glucose.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide: a novel gene (polynucleotide) encoding an FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase having excellent properties that it has excellent reactivity to glucose, excellent thermal stability, and excellent substrate-recognition performance and also has a low activity for maltose; a process for the production of the enzyme using a transformant cell transfected with the gene; and a method for the determination of glucose, a reagent composition for use in the determination of glucose, a biosensor for use in the determination of glucose and others, each characterized by using the enzyme obtained. The invention relates to a polynucleotide encoding an FAD-conjugated glucose dehydrogenase, comprising a polypeptide containing an amino acid sequence: X1-X2-X3-X4-X5-X6 (wherein X1 and X2 independently represent an aliphatic amino acid residue; X3 and X6 independently represent a branched amino acid residue; and X4 and X5 independently represent a heterocyclic amino acid residue or an aromatic amino acid residue); and others.
