Membrane-bound, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent glycerol dehydrogenase (GLDH, or polyol dehydrogenase) ofGluconobactersp. oxidizes various secondary alcohols to produce the corresponding ketones, such as oxidation ofD-sorbitol toL-sorbose in vitamin C production. Substrate specificity of GLDH is considered limited to secondary alcohols in theD-erythroconfiguration at the next to the last carbon. Here, we suggest thatL-ribose,D- andL-lyxoses, andL-tagatose are also substrates of GLDH, but these sugars do not meet the substrate specificity rule of GLDH. The oxygen consumption activity of wild-typeGluconobacter frateuriicell membranes depends on several kinds of sugars as compared with that of the membranes of a GLDH-negative variant. Biotransformation of those sugars with the membranes was examined to determine the reaction products. A time course measuring the pH in the reaction mixture and the increase or decrease in substrates and products on TLC suggested that oxidation products ofL-lyxose andL-tagatose were ketones with unknown structures, but those ofL-ribose andD-lyxose were acids. The oxidation product ofL-ribose was purified and revealed to beL-ribonate by HRMS and NMR analysis. Biotransformation ofL-ribose with the membranes and also with the whole cells producedL-ribonate in nearly stoichiometric amounts, indicating that the specific oxidation site inL-ribose is recognized by GLDH. Since purified GLDH producedL-ribonate without any intermediate-like compounds, we propose here a reaction model where the first carbon in the pyranose form ofL-ribose is oxidized by GLDH toL-ribonolactone, which is further hydrolyzed spontaneously to produceL-ribonate.
