Objective To improve the stability of E. coli-produced non-glycosylated fungal FAd-glucose dehydrogenase induced a disulfide bond by site-directed mutagenesis based on structural comparisons with glucose oxidases. Results The FAD-glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) mutant Val149Cys/Gly190Cys, which was constructed based on a comparison with the three dimensional structure of glucose oxidase, showed a 110?min half-life of thermal inactivation at 45?°C, which is 13-fold greater than that of the wild-type enzyme. The considerable increase in thermal stability was further supported by Eyring plot analysis. The kinetic parameters of Val149Cys/Gly190Cys (k cat?=?760?s?, Km?=?35?mM, and catalytic efficiency (k cat/Km)?=?22?s??mM?) were almost identical to those of the wild-type enzyme (k cat?=?780?s?, Km?=?35?mM, k cat/Km?=?22?s??mM?). The substrate specificity of Val149Cys/Gly190Cys is indistinguishable from that of the wild type. Conclusion The constructed mutant, Val149Cys/Gly190Cys, had significantly increased structural stability without changing the catalytic activity and kinetic parameters of FAD-GDH, including its characteristic substrate specificity.
