Application
Choline oxidase from Alcaligenes sp. has been used:
- in a study to investigate a choline biosensor constructed with a chitinous membrane and its application in measuring cholinesterase inhibitory activities
- has also been used in spectroscopic studies on the photoreaction of choline oxidase with covalently bound flavin.
- as a component of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) buffer for measurement of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in brain tissue homogenates
- to measure the choline generated by autotaxin (ATX) by ATX activity assay and phospholipase-D (PLD) by PLD activity assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
Choline oxidase catalyzes the four-electron oxidation of choline to glycine-betaine, with betaine-aldehyde as the intermediate and molecular oxygen as th eprimary electron acceptor. The enzyme can also accept betaine-aldehyde as a substrate. This allows the study of the reaction mechanism for the conversion of choline to the aldehyde intermediate, & of betaine-aldehyde to glycine-betaine. The enzyme is a flavoprotein with a molecular weight of approx. 72,000 Da (gel filtration) or 66,000 Da (SDS gel electrophoresis).

Unit Definition
One unit will form 1 μmole of H2O2 with oxidation of 1 μmole of choline to betaine aldehyde per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C. Note: During the conversion of choline to betaine by choline oxidase, 2 μmoles of H2O2 are produced for every μmole of choline.

Glycine betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine) is an important osmoprotectant and is synthesized in response to abiotic stresses. Although almost all known biosynthetic pathways of betaine are two-step oxidation of choline, here we isolated two N-methyltransferase genes from a halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica.
