D-galactose/D-glucose-binding Protein from Escherichia coli as Probe for a Non-consuming Glucose Implantable Fluorescence Biosensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
D-Galactose/D-glucose-binding protein from E. coli (GGBP) is a monomer thatbinds glucose with high affinity. The protein structure of GGBP is organized in twoprincipal domains linked by a hinge region that form the sugar-binding site. In this workwe show that the mutant form of GGBP at the amino acid position 182 can be utilized as aprobe for the development of a non-consuming analyte fluorescence biosensor to monitorthe glucose level in diabetes health care.

Conformational stability and domain coupling in D-glucose/D-galactose-binding protein from Escherichia coli.
The monomeric D-glucose/D-galactose-binding protein (GGBP) from Escherichia coli (M(r) 33000) is a periplasmic protein that serves as a high-affinity receptor for the active transport and chemotaxis towards both sugars. The effect of D-glucose binding on the thermal unfolding of the GGBP protein at pH 7.0 has been measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), far-UV CD and intrinsic tryp...

A 38-kDa lipoprotein of Treponema pallidum (Tp38) was predicted to be a periplasmic sugar-binding protein based on its sequence similarity to the glucose/galactose-binding (MglB) protein of Escherichia coli (P. S. Becker, D. R. Akins, J. D. Radolf, and M. V. Norgard, Infect. Immun. 62:1381-1391, 1994). Inasmuch as glucose is believed to be the principal, if not sole, carbon and energy source fo...

The galactose/glucose-binding protein from E. coli (GGBP) is a 32 kDa protein possessing the typical two-domains structure of the ligand-binding proteins family. GGBP is characterized by low dissociation constant values with respect to glucose binding, displaying an affinity constant for glucose in micromolar range. This feature makes GGBP unsuitable as a sensitive probe for continuous glucose ...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Sugar Binding to the Periplasmic Receptor for Galactose Chemotaxis and Transport in Escherichia coZi*
The reactions of the Escherichia coli D-galactosebinding protein with the ligands D-galactose and Dglucose have been examined by stopped flow rapid mixing techniques. The change in tryptophan fluorescence that occurs with galactose binding is described by a rapid, second order process; no additional phases of fluorescence change were observed. The resultant time courses were fitted to a simple ...
متن کاملChemotaxis toward sugars in Escherichia coli.
Using a quantitative assay for measuring chemotaxis, we tested a variety of sugars and sugar derivatives for their ability to attract Escherichia coli bacteria. The most effective attractants, i.e., those that have thresholds near 10(-5) M or below, are N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, 6-deoxy-d-glucose, d-fructose, d-fucose, 1-d-glycerol-beta-d-galactoside, galactitol, d-galactose, d-glucosamine, d-glu...
