| Comments: |
Soluble periplasmic enzyme containing a tightly-bound PQQ cofactor that is bound to a calcium ion. As the electron acceptor is not known, the enzyme has been assayed with Wurster's Blue or phenazine methosulfate. It has negligible sequence or structure similarity to other quinoproteins. It catalyses an exceptionally high rate of oxidation of a wide range of aldose sugars, including D-glucose, galactose, arabinose and xylose, and also the disaccharides lactose, cellobiose and maltose. It has been described only in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. |
