The co-expression in Escherichia coli of the γ-subunit and the catalytic α-subunit of the thermostable glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Burkholderia cepacia sp. SM4 produced 12.7 U GDH activity mg−1 protein. A 47-amino acid, twin-arginine translocase signal peptide was identified at the amino terminus of the γ-subunit. The expression of the α-subunit in the absence of the γ-subunit or the γ-subunit signal peptide failed to produce any detectable GDH protein or activity. The γ-subunit may be a chaperone-like component that assists folding of the α-subunit polypeptide to the active form and its translocation to the periplasm.
