Abstract
Fructosamine has long been considered as a key intermediate of the Maillard reaction, which to a large extent is responsible for specific aroma, taste, and color formation in thermally processed or dehydrated foods. Since the 1980s, however, as a product of the Amadori rearrangement reaction between glucose and biologically significant amines such as proteins, fructosamine has experienced a boom in biomedical research, mainly due to its relevance to pathologies in diabetes and aging. In this chapter, we assess the scope of the knowledge on and applications of fructosamine-related molecules in chemistry, food, and health sciences, as reflected mostly in publications within the past decade. Methods of fructosamine synthesis and analysis, its chemical, and biological properties, and degradation reactions, together with fructosamine-modifying and -recognizing proteins are surveyed.

Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the gold standard for measuring glucose levels in the diagnosis of diabetes due to the excellent stability and reliability of this biomarker. HbA1c is a stable glycated protein formed by the reaction of glucose with hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, which reflects average glucose levels over a period of two to three months without suffering from the disturbance of the outside environment. A number of simple, high-efficiency, and sensitive electrochemical sensors have been developed for the detection of HbA1c. This review aims to highlight current methods and trends in electrochemistry for HbA1c monitoring. The target analytes of electrochemical HbA1c sensors are usually HbA1c or fructosyl valine/fructosyl valine histidine (FV/FVH, the hydrolyzed product of HbA1c). When HbA1c is the target analyte, a sensor works to selectively bind to specific HbA1c regions and then determines the concentration of HbA1c through the quantitative transformation of weak electrical signals such as current, potential, and impedance. When FV/FVH is the target analyte, a sensor is used to indirectly determine HbA1c by detecting FV/FVH when it is hydrolyzed by fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAO), fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX), or a molecularly imprinted catalyst (MIC). Then, a current proportional to the concentration of HbA1c can be produced. In this paper, we review a variety of representative electrochemical HbA1c sensors developed in recent years and elaborate on their operational principles, performance, and promising future clinical applications.

A step towards optimal efficiency of HbA 1c measurement as a first-line laboratory test: the TOP-HOLE (Towards OPtimal glycoHemOgLobin tEsting) project. Clin Chem Lab Med 2022; 60:441-450. [PMID: 35041303 DOI: 10.1515/cclm-2021-1249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The TOP-HOLE (Towards OPtimal glycoHemOgLobin tEsting) project aimed to validate the HbA1c enzymatic method on the Abbott Alinity c platform and to implement the HbA1c testing process on the total laboratory automation (TLA) system of our institution. METHODS Three different measuring systems were employed: Architect c4000 stand-alone (s-a), Alinity c s-a, and Alinity c TLA. Eight frozen whole blood samples, IFCC value-assigned, were used for checking trueness. A comparison study testing transferability of HbA1c results from Architect to Alinity was also performed. The alignment of Alinity TLA vs. s-a was verified and the measurement uncertainty (MU) estimated according to ISO 20914:2019. Turnaround time (TAT) and full time equivalent (FTE) were used as efficiency indicators. RESULTS For HbA1c concentrations covering cut-offs adopted in clinical setting, the bias for both Architect and Alinity s-a was negligible. When compared with Architect, Alinity showed a mean positive bias of 0.54 mmol/mol, corresponding to a mean difference of 0.87%. A perfect alignment of Alinity TLA to the Alinity s-a was shown, and a MU of 1.58% was obtained, widely fulfilling the desirable 3.0% goal. After the full automation of HbA1c testing, 90% of results were released with a maximum TAT of 1 h, 0.30 FTE resource was also saved. CONCLUSIONS The traceability of Alinity HbA1c enzymatic assay to the IFCC reference system was correctly implemented. We successfully completed the integration of the HbA1c testing on our TLA system, without worsening the optimal analytical performance. The shift of HbA1c testing from s-a mode to TLA significantly decreased TAT.

Direct and Label-Free Determination of Human Glycated Hemoglobin Levels Using Bacteriorhodopsin as the Biosensor Transducer. SENSORS 2020; 20:s20247274.

Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are an important index for the diagnosis and long-term control of diabetes. This study is the first to use a direct and label-free photoelectric biosensor to determine HbA1c using bacteriorhodopsin-embedded purple membranes (PM) as a transducer. A biotinylated PM (b-PM) coated electrode that is layered with protein A-oriented antibodies against hemoglobin (Hb) readily captures non-glycated Hb (HbA0) and generates less photocurrent. The spectra of bacteriorhodopsin and Hb overlap so the photocurrent is reduced because of the partial absorption of the incident light by the captured Hb molecules. Two HbA0 and HbA1c aptasensors that are prepared by conjugating specific aptamers on b-PM coated electrodes single-step detect HbA0 and HbA1c in 15 min, without cross reactivity, with detection limits of ≤0.1 μg/mL and a dynamic range of 0.1–100 μg/mL. Both aptasensors exhibit high selectivity and long-term stability. For the clinical samples, HbA0 concentrations and HbA1c levels that are measured with aptasensors correlate well with total Hb concentrations and the HbA1c levels that are determined using standard methods (correlation gradient = 0.915 ± 0.004 and 0.981 ± 0.001, respectively). The use of these aptasensors for diabetes care is demonstrated.

Creation of haemoglobin A1c direct oxidase from fructosyl peptide oxidase by combined structure-based site specific mutagenesis and random mutagenesis. Sci Rep 2019; 9:942.

Abstract
The currently available haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) enzymatic assay consists of two specific steps: proteolysis of HbA1c and oxidation of the liberated fructosyl peptide by fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX). To develop a more convenient and high throughput assay, we devised novel protease-free assay system employing modified FPOX with HbA1c oxidation activity, namely HbA1c direct oxidase (HbA1cOX). AnFPOX-15, a modified FPOX from Aspergillus nidulans, was selected for conversion to HbA1cOX. As deduced from the crystal structure of AnFPOX-15, R61 was expected to obstruct the entrance of bulky substrates. An R61G mutant was thus constructed to open the gate at the active site. The prepared mutant exhibited significant reactivity for fructosyl hexapeptide (F-6P, N-terminal amino acids of HbA1c), and its crystal structure revealed a wider gate observed for AnFPOX-15. To improve the reactivity for F-6P, several mutagenesis approaches were performed. The ultimately generated AnFPOX-47 exhibited the highest F-6P reactivity and possessed HbA1c oxidation activity. HbA1c levels in blood samples as measured using the direct assay system using AnFPOX-47 were highly correlated with the levels measured using the conventional HPLC method. In this study, FPOX was successfully converted to HbA1cOX, which could represent a novel in vitro diagnostic modality for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has an N-terminal fructosyl valine on the β-chain, and this modification is caused by the non-enzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin (Hb). The relative concentration ratio of HbA1c to total Hb is an important biomarker for the diagnosis of diabetes. HbA1c-binding lectins were screened from 29 sources of lectin, and the lectin from Aleuria aurantia (AAL) was revealed to have higher affinity to HbA1c than to Hb. The concentration of HbA1c was determined by lectin-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the AAL lectin. Higher reproducibility of the assay was observed at 4 °C than at 25 and 37 °C. This observation is consistent with the known temperature-dependent behavior of lectins. Preincubation of HbA1c with an anti-HbA1c antibody inhibited the binding, suggesting that AAL binds to the N-terminal fructosyl valine epitope of HbA1c. Higher inhibitory effect was observed for 10 mM d-fructose than for the same concentrations of l-fucose, d-fucose, or d-glucose.

Abstract
Research advances in biochemical molecules have led to the development of convenient and reproducible biosensing molecules for glycated proteins, such as those based on the enzymes fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAOX) or fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX). Recently, more attractive biosensing molecules with potential applications in next-generation biosensing of glycated proteins have been aggressively reported. We review 2 such molecules, fructosamine 6-kinase (FN6K) and fructosyl amino acid-binding protein, as well as their recent applications in the development of glycated protein biosensing systems. Research on FN6K and fructosyl amino acid-binding protein has been opening up new possibilities for the development of highly sensitive and proteolytic-digestion-free biosensing systems for glycated proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel enzymatic HbA1c assay was introduced for use in an automated chemistry analyzer. With this unique method, HbA1c and plasma glucose can be measured from the same EDTA tube. We evaluated the analytical performance of this enzymatic HbA1c assay in a JCA-BM6010/C analyzer and compared the HbA1c values with the results from other widely used methodological instruments. METHODS The imprecision, linearity, carry-over and concordance rate of the enzymatic HbA1c test (BM Test HbA1c) using the JCA-BM6010/C analyzer were evaluated. Three hundred and seventy-seven specimens with HbA1c concentrations from 16 to 133 mmol/mol were used for a comparison study with two high performance liquid chromatography methods: Variant II Turbo and Tosoh HLC 723 G8 and the AutoLab Hemoglobin A1c immunoturbidimetry reagent using a Hitachi 7600-110. Forty specimens were used for the glucose method comparison. RESULTS The HbA1c coefficients of variation of the within-run imprecision for low and high levels were 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. The linearity of the BM Test HbA1c using the JCA-BM6010/C analyzer was excellent in the range between 31 mmol/mol and 143 mmol/mol. The carry-over rate was 0.2%. The relationships between the BM test and the other three methods were 0.916×Tosoh G8+3.644, r=0.986; 0.887×Bio-Rad Variant II+1.896, r=0.972; and 0.941×AutoLab+4.532, r=0.977. The concordance rates using a cut-off of 48 mmol/mol were 91.5% with Tosoh G8, 82.8% with Bio-Rad Variant II, and 91.0% with AutoLab. The simultaneously assayed plasma glucose with HbA1c was 1.002×Routine plasma glucose+0.625, r=1.000 CONCLUSIONS: The enzymatic BM Test HbA1c in the JCA-BM6010/C analyzer showed excellent precision and linearity, and a minimal carry-over rate. The simultaneously assayed plasma glucose analysis showed good performance.

Abstract
Current enzymatic methods for the analysis of glycated proteins use flavoenzymes that catalyze the oxidative deglycation of fructosyl peptides, designated as fructosyl peptidyl oxidases (FPOXs). However, as FPOXs are oxidases, the signals derived from electron mediator-type electrochemical monitoring based on them are affected by dissolved O(2). Improvement of dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity of FPOXs and its application to enzyme electrode construction were therefore undertaken. Saturation mutagenesis study on Asn56 of FPOX from Phaeosphaeria nodorum, produced mutants with marked decreases in the catalytic ability to employ O(2) as the electron acceptor, while showing higher dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity employing artificial electron acceptors than the parental enzyme. Thus constructed virtually fructosyl peptide dehydrogenase, Asn56Ala, was then applied to produce an enzyme electrode for the measurement of fructosyl-(α) N-valyl-histidine (f-(α)Val-His), the protease-digested product of HbA1c. The enzyme electrode could measure f-(α)Val-His in the physiological target range in air.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE As neonatal blood contains a high proportion of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), it is difficult to use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, latex-immunoturbidimetry (LA) method and enzymatic methods, which determine hemoglobin A(1C) (HbA(1C)) in order to provide the glycemic control indicators of neonates. In this study, we evaluated glycated hemoglobin (GHb) and glycated albumin (GA) as appropriate indicators of the glycemic control in the neonatal period. STUDY DESIGN Umbilical cord blood samples collected during delivery were subjected to measurements of GHb (HPLC methods using two different instruments, LA method, enzymatic method and affinity method) and serum GA. RESULT HbA(1C) levels determined by the HPLC method, the LA method and the enzymatic method were as low as <3.0% in all the cases. Although GHb determined by the affinity method was 3.6 ± 0.2%, this method may not measure accurately the values of glycated HbF plus glycated HbA. Serum GA was 9.4 ± 1.1%. CONCLUSION We speculate that serum GA, but not GHb, could be used as glycemic control indicators in neonates.

The measurement of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has important implications for diagnosis of diabetes and assessment of treatment effectiveness. We proposed specific sequence motifs to identify enzymes that oxidize glycated compounds from genome database searches. The gene encoding a putative fructosyl amino acid oxidase was found in the Phaeosphaeria nodorum SN15 genome and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein (XP_001798711) was confirmed to be a novel fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) with high specificity for alpha-glycated compounds, such as HbA1c model compounds fructosyl-(alpha)N-valine (f-(alpha)Val) and fructosyl-(alpha)N-valyl-histidine (f-(alpha)Val-His). Unlike previously reported FPOXs, the P. nodorum FPOX has a K(m) value for f-(alpha)Val-His (0.185 mM) that is considerably lower than that for f-(alpha)Val (0.458 mM). Based on amino acid sequence alignment, three dimensional structural modeling, and site-directed mutagenesis, Gly60 was found to be a determining residue for the activity towards f-(alpha)Val-His. A flexible surface loop region was also found to likely play an important role in accepting f-(alpha)Val-His.

Abstract
Glycated proteins, particularly glycated hemoglobin A1c, are important markers for assessing the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Convenient and reproducible assay systems based on the enzyme fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAOD) have become attractive alternatives to conventional detection methods. We review the available FAOD-based assays for measurement of glycated proteins as well as the recent advances and future direction of FAOD research. Future research is expected to lead to the next generation of convenient, simple, and economical sensors for glycated protein, ideally suited for point-of-care treatment and self-monitoring applications.

Abstract
We found 11 genes (FAO1-11) encoding putative oxidoreductases in the Aspergillus oryzae genome, which are similar to fungal fructosyl-amino acid oxidases. The cDNAs corresponding to the genes were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. rFao2 had fructosyl-amino acid oxidase activity, whereas rFao1 did not show any enzyme activity, even though the deduced amino acid sequence of Fao1 is identical to that of one of the fructosyl-amino acid oxidase isozymes from Aspergillus oryzae. rFao7 and rFao8 showed oxidase activity toward sarcosine, L-pipecolate, and L-proline. rFao10 was active toward only sarcosine, of the substrates tested. The functions of the other proteins were also predicted from a phylogenetic analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Development and validation of a direct enzymatic HbA1c assay that utilizes a single channel on chemistry auto-analyzers without the need to run separate glycated hemoglobin and total hemoglobin assays. DESIGN AND METHODS An enzyme based single channel assay was developed to measure %HbA1c in human whole blood samples. The performance characteristics of the Diazyme Direct Enzymatic HbA1c Assay were evaluated on the Hitachi 917 auto-analyzer using whole blood samples, appropriate controls and a reference lot of manufactured reagents. Accuracy studies were completed by comparing the Direct Enzymatic Assay to existing HPLC and immunoassay methods. Interference testing was performed to determine the effect of total hemoglobin, glycated serum proteins, chemical substances and hemoglobin variants in patient samples. RESULTS The Direct Enzymatic HbA1c Assay showed within run precision and total precision results of < or = 2% CV for both normal and abnormal level samples. Method comparison studies showed that there was a good correlation between the Direct Enzymatic HbA1c and the HPLC (R(2)=0.98) or the immunoassay (R(2)=0.97) methods. The assay measured within the range of 4-16% HbA1c and showed excellent performance with variant hemoglobin in samples. CONCLUSIONS Diazyme Direct Enzymatic HbA1c Assay is accurate and precise when compared to currently marketed medical devices. The assay is designed to report %HbA1c values directly without need for a separate measurement of total hemoglobin and is not adversely affected by interferences from common hemoglobin variants in samples. It is a cost effective, user-friendly method and is adaptable to most general chemistry analyzers.

Abstract
A flow-injection analytical (FIA) system, comprised of an electrochemical detector with a fructosyl-peptide oxidase (FPOX-CET) reactor and a flow-type spectrophotometer, was proposed for the simultaneous measurement of glycohemoglobin and total hemoglobin in blood cell. The blood cell samples were hemolyzed with a surfactant and then treated with protease. In the first stage of operation, total hemoglobin in digested sample was determined spectrophotometrically. In the second stage, fructosyl valyl histidine (FVH) released from glycohemoglobin by the selective proteolysis was determined specifically using the electrochemical detector with the FPOX-CET reactor. The FIA system could be automatically processed at an analytical speed of 40 samples per hour. The proposed assay method could determine selectively only the glycated N-terminal residue of beta-chain in glycohemoglobin and total hemoglobin in blood cell. The enzymatic hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value calculated by the concentration ratio of the FVH to total hemoglobin, was closely correlated with the HbA1c values certified by the Japan Diabetic Society (JDS) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC).

Abstract
A novel fluorescent sensing system for alpha-glycated amino acids was created based on fructosyl amino acid binding protein (FABP) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The protein was found to bind specifically to the alpha-glycated amino acids fructosyl glutamine (Fru-Gln) and fructosyl valine (Fru-Val) while not binding to epsilon-fructosyl lysine. An Ile166Cys mutant of FABP was created by genetic engineering and modified with the environmentally sensitive fluorophore acrylodan. The acrylodan-conjugated mutant FABP showed eight-fold greater sensitivity to Fru-Val than the unconjugated protein and could detect concentrations as low as 17 nM, making it over 100-fold more sensitive than enzyme-based detection systems. Its high sensitivity and specificity for alpha-substituted fructosyl amino acids makes the new sensing system ideally suited for the measurement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a major marker of diabetes.

Abstract
A flow-injection system with an enzyme reactor was proposed for the measurement of fructosyl amino acids and fructosyl peptides in protease-digested blood samples. A fructosyl-amino acid oxidase (FAOX-TE) and two fructosyl-peptide oxidases (FPOX-CE and FPOX-CET) were covalently immobilized onto an inert support. They were used as the enzyme reactor in a FIA system with a hydrogen peroxide electrode. In particular, the FPOX-CET reactor possessed high selectivity for the detection of fructosyl valine (FV) and fructosyl valyl histidine (FVH) and an excellent operational stability. The proposed FIA system with the FPOX-CET reactor responded linearly to the concentration of FV over the dynamic range of 7.8 x 10(-6) to 5.8 x 10(-4) M. The present method could be successfully applied to the assay of FV and FVH in the protease-digested blood samples.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae has two fructosyl-amino acid oxidase (FAOD) isozymes (AoFao1 and AoFao2), which are different in the substrate specificities. Northern blot analysis showed both FAO genes were induced by autoclave-browned medium containing l-lysine or l-valine. Studies with a mutant, that had a disrupted AoFAO2 gene, revealed that the expression of AoFAO1 by fructosyl l-valine depended on the expression of AoFAO2. Both genes were also induced by one of the FAOD-reaction products, glucosone. In contrast, other alpha-dicarbonyl compounds, which display a similar structure to that of glucosone were not able to induce the genes expression. These results imply that glucosone may contribute to the expression of FAO genes.

Abstract
Fructosyl peptide oxidase is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deglycation of N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His, a model compound of hemoglobin (Hb)A(1C). To develop an enzymatic method for the measurement of HbA(1C), we screened for a proper protease using N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-hexapeptide as a substrate. Several proteases, including Neutral protease from Bacillus polymyxa, were found to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His efficiently, however no protease was found to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val. Neutral protease also digested HbA(1C) to release N-(1-deoxyfructosyl)-Val-His, and then the fructosyl peptide was detected using fructosyl peptide oxidase. The linear relationship was observed between the concentration of HbA(1C) and the absorbancy of fructosyl peptide oxidase reaction, hence this new method is a practical means for measuring HbA(1C.).

Abstract
Glycohemoglobin (GHb) has a key role in the assessment of glycemic control in diabetic patients. Several studies have clearly shown that improved glycemic control is strongly associated with decreased development and/or progression of diabetic complications in both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, accurate determination of GHb concentration is an important issue for clinical laboratories. Several factors may affect and lead to erroneous results. We discuss the problems of standardization of GHb measurements for monitoring glycemic control and also consider the potential interfering factors on GHb measurements. Moreover, GHb assays may be affected by interference in different ways. The effect of interference may be more clinically relevant with poor metabolic control. Laboratory staff must be aware of all pitfalls to avoid adding more confusion to the clinical interpretation of HbA1c values and physicians should contact laboratories if discrepancies between clinical impressions and laboratory data are observed.

Abstract
Enzymatic reversal of the Maillard reaction is a growing area of research. Fructosyl amine oxidase enzymes (EC 1.5.3) have attracted recent attention through demonstration of their ability to deglycate Amadori products, low molecular weight intermediates formed during the early stage of the Maillard reaction. Although stopped assays have been described, a bottleneck in current studies is the lack of continuous kinetic assays. Here, we describe the development of a continuous, coupled enzyme assay and its successful application to determining optimal storage conditions and the steady-state kinetic parameters of an enzyme from this group, amadoriase I. A K(m)(app) of 11 microM and a K(cat)(app) of 3.5s(-1) were determined using this assay using fructosyl propylamine as a substrate, which differ from previous reports. This method was also used to test the activity of two site-directed mutants of amadoriase I, H357N and S370A, which were found to be catalytically inactive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of glycated hemoglobin determination methods in patients with clinically silent hemoglobin variants. METHODS HbA1c results were determined with various methods, including a new enzymatic assay, a boronate affinity HPLC, immunoassays and ion-exchange HPLC in patients with the clinically silent hemoglobin variants Hb Graz, Hb Sherwood Forest, Hb D and Hb O Padova. RESULTS The effect of hemoglobin variants on glycated hemoglobin determination was method-dependent. The enzymatic and boronate affinity HPLC method did not interfere with any of the variants evaluated. In contrast, Hb Graz interfered with all immunoassay and ion-exchange HPLC methods evaluated. The Tosoh ion-exchange HPLC method HLC-723 did not detect the late migrating Hb O Padova in the chromatogram, but this hemoglobin variant still interfered causing artificially low HbA1c results. CONCLUSIONS Our study underscores the need for clinical laboratories and physicians to be aware of the limitations of their HbA1c assay methods as well as the importance of visual inspection of ion-exchange chromatograms to detect abnormalities caused by the hemoglobin variants. Samples with clinically silent Hb variants should be analyzed by a second method with a different assay principle, preferably a boronate affinity HPLC or an enzymatic assay.

Abstract
Two putative fructosyl-amino acid oxidase genes, FAP1 and FAP2, found in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome were cloned and expressed. Both of the gene products (Fap1 and Fap2) were flavoproteins and have no activity for fructosyl-amino acids. It was suggested that Fap1 and Fap2 are an L-pipecolic acid oxidase and L-saccharopine oxidase, respectively.
