[0430] 1. Example of Enzyme Preparation

[0431] 1-1. Construction of PPDK expression plasmid

[0432] Propionibacterium freudennerii subsp. shermanii PPDK (PfPPDK) derived from NBRC 12426 strain and plasmid attached to PPDK (TtPPDK) derived from Thermoproteus NBRC 100435 strain. Genomic DNA was prepared from cells of each strain.

[0433] The PfPPDK gene was amplified by PCR using the genomic DNA obtained above as a template and primers (SEQ ID NO: 2 and 3) designed based on the PPDK gene sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) obtained from the database. The amplified product was inserted into pET-28a to obtain a plasmid for expressing PfPPDK. The TtPPDK gene was PCR amplified by using the genomic DNA obtained above as a template and primers (SEQ ID NO: 5 and 6) designed based on the PPDK gene sequence (SEQ ID NO: 4) obtained from the database. The amplified product was inserted into pET-28a to obtain a plasmid for expressing TfPPDK.

[0448] 2-1. Example of reaction conditions for quantification of pyrophosphoric acid (1)

[0449] A test sample containing pyrophosphoric acid and a reaction mixture for quantifying pyrophosphoric acid having the following components were mixed. The mixture was maintained at 30°C to allow the reaction to progress and the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm was measured. The volume of the mixture is 1 ml or 200 μl. Absorbance measurements were performed with cuvettes and absorptiometers with an optical path length of 1 cm (for the former volume) or with microplates and a microplate reader (with a variable optical path length) (for the latter volume). In the graphs shown in the accompanying drawings, the absorbance measured with a cuvette with an optical path length of 1 cm is represented by Abs, and the absorbance measured with a microplate is represented by AU.

Abstract

Provided is a method for quantifying a target substance typified by amino acid. This method includes: a step in which an enzyme capable of converting the target substance and also of generating a pyrophosphate using an adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) as a base material therefor is caused to act on the target substance, and pyrophosphate is generated; a step in which a pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) is caused to act on the generated pyrophosphate, in the presence of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP), and ATP, phosphoric acid, and pyruvic acid is generated; and a step in which the generated pyruvic acid is quantified. The amount of target substance is then determined on the basis of the obtained pyruvic acid amount. As a result of this invention, amino acid in a sample derived from an organism including a large quantity of a variety of impurities such as inorganic phosphoric acid and urea can be readily and quickly quantified without being affected by the impurities.
