  • Title: Determination of plasma and serum L-lysine using L-lysine epsilon-oxidase from Marinomonas mediterranea NBRC 103028(T).

    Abstract:
    This article describes a successful application of l-lysine epsilon-oxidase (EC 1.4.3.20) for l-lysine determination. l-Lysine epsilon-oxidase was isolated from culture supernatant of Marinomonas mediterranea NBRC 103028(T) and was used for l-lysine determination. Comparison of the characteristics of l-lysine epsilon-oxidase with l-lysine alpha-oxidase, a commercial enzyme used for l-lysine determination, suggests that the use of l-lysine epsilon-oxidase would be more valuable for the determination of l-lysine because of its selectivity and sensitivity, especially in samples with low l-lysine concentration. The enzyme acted only on l-lysine and l-ornithine, to which the relative activity was only 3.4% of that on l-lysine. The value obtained by the colorimetric assay using l-lysine epsilon-oxidase and horseradish peroxidase was not affected by l-ornithine. The enzyme also shows a higher affinity for l-lysine (K(m)=0.0018mM). l-Lysine determination using l-lysine epsilon-oxidase in human plasma and serum was examined. The measured values were close to values determined by instrumental analyses using the precolumn AccQ.Tag Ultra Derivatization Kit. These results suggest that l-lysine epsilon-oxidase can be used for diagnosis based on plasma l-lysine concentration. This is the first report on the application of l-lysine epsilon-oxidase.
