Thermotolerant Gluconobacter frateurii CHM 43 was selected for L-erythrulose production from mesoerythritol at higher temperatures. Growing cells and the membrane fraction of the strain rapidly oxidized mesoerythritol to L-erythrulose irreversibly with almost 100% of recovery at 37 degrees C. L-Erythrulose was also produced efficiently by the resting cells at 37 degrees C with 85% recovery. The enzyme responsible for mesoerythritol oxidation was found to be located in the cytoplasmic membrane of the organism. The EDTA-resolved enzyme required PQQ and Ca2+ for L-erythrulose formation, suggesting that the enzyme catalyzing meso-erythritol oxidation was a quinoprotein. Quinoprotein membrane-bound mesoerythritol dehydrogenase (QMEDH) was solubilized and purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme showed a single band in SDS-PAGE of which the molecular mass corresponded to 80 kDa. The optimum pH of QMEDH was found at pH 5.0. The Michaelis constant of the enzyme was found to be 25 mM for meso-erythritol as the substrate. QMEDH showed a broad substrate specificity toward C3-C6 sugar alcohols in which the erythro form of two hydroxy groups existed adjacent to a primary alcohol group. On the other hand, the cytosolic NAD-denpendent meso-erythritol dehydrogenase (CMEDH) of the same organism was purified to a crystalline state. CMEDH showed a molecular mass of 60 kDa composed of two identical subunits, and an apparent sedimentation constant was 3.6 s. CMEDH catalyzed oxidoreduction between mesoerythritol and L-erythrulose. The oxidation reaction was observed to be reversible in the presence of NAD at alkaline pHs such as 9.0-10.5. L-Erythrulose reduction was found at pH 6.0 with NADH as coenzyme. Judging from the catalytic properties, the NAD-dependent enzyme in the cytosolic fraction was regarded as a typical pentitol dehydrogenase of NAD-dependent and the enzyme was independent of the oxidative fermentation of L-erythrulose production.
