Intended is to provide a highly practical novel FAD-GDH. A glucose dehydrogenase having the following properties is provided: (1) action: catalyzes the reaction of oxidizing hydroxyl groups of glucose to form glucono-&#x3b4;-lactone in the presence of an electron acceptor; (2) substrate specificity: reactivity to D-xylose is 10% or less when the reactivity to D-glucose is 100%; (3) pH stability: stable at pH 5 to 8; (4) amino acid sequence: including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, or an amino acid sequence with an identity of 83% or more to the amino acid sequence.

Glucose dehydrogenase

The object is to provide a novel enzyme exhibiting cholesterol dehydrogenase activity. Provided is a mutant enzyme having an amino acid sequence of a microorganism-derived cholesterol oxidase, which is composed of: (1) an amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at the position 113 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (2) an amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at the position 362 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (3) an amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at the position 402 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (4) an amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at the position 412 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (5) an amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at the position 468 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and others.

Mutated enzyme having dehydrogenase activity and use thereof

The present technology relates to an enzyme composition. The enzyme composition may be used to treat gluten intolerant subjects, including suffering from non-Celiac gluten intolerance and/or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. The enzyme composition may also be used to reduce gluten exposure in certain individuals. For example, the enzyme composition may also be used as a prophylactic to reduce exposure to gluten oligopeptides.

Use of proteases for gluten intolerance

An object is to provide a novel enzyme that exhibits glucose dehydrogenase activity. Furthermore, another object is to provide a novel method pertaining to enzyme modification. Provided is a mutated enzyme containing an amino acid sequence wherein one or at least two amino acids selected from a group are substituted with another amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a microorganism-derived glucose oxidase.

Mutant enzyme and application thereof

An object is to provide a novel enzyme that exhibits glucose dehydrogenase activity. Furthermore, another object is to provide a novel method pertaining to enzyme modification. Provided is a mutated enzyme containing an amino acid sequence wherein one or at least two amino acids selected from the group consisting of (1) to (13) are substituted with another amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a microorganism-derived glucose oxidase: (1) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 115 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (2) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 131 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (3) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 132 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (4) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 193 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (5) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 353 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (6) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 436 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (7) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 446 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (8) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 472 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (9) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 511 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (10) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 535 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (11) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 537 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (12) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 582 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (13) the amino acid corresponding to the amino acid at position 583 of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
