Abstract
Environmental pollution with synthetic polymers (commonly named plastics) nowadays poses serious threats to the environment and human health. Unfortunately, most conventional plastics are highly recalcitrant even under conditions known to be favorable for microbial degradation. Expanding the knowledge regarding opportunities and limitations of the microbial degradability of plastics would largely contribute to the development of adequate decontamination and management strategies for plastic pollution. This chapter provides cultivation approaches to be applied for the characterization of eco-physiologically diverse asco- and basidiomycete fungi with respect to their ability to attack solid and water-soluble synthetic polymers with the help of quinone redox cycling-based Fenton-type reactions, which result in the production of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. These reactive oxygen species are the strongest oxidants known from biological systems. However, their potential employment by fungi dwelling in diverse habitats as a biodegradation tool to attack synthetic polymers is still insufficiently explored.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases, which have been widely investigated in recent decades thanks to their ability to oxidize organic substrates to the corresponding radicals while producing water at the expense of molecular oxygen. Besides their successful (bio)technological applications, for example, in textile, petrochemical, and detoxifications/bioremediations industrial processes, their synthetic potentialities for the mild and green preparation or selective modification of fine chemicals are of outstanding value in biocatalyzed organic synthesis. Accordingly, this review is focused on reporting and rationalizing some of the most recent and interesting synthetic exploitations of laccases. Applications of the so-called laccase-mediator system (LMS) for alcohol oxidation are discussed with a focus on carbohydrate chemistry and natural products modification as well as on bio- and chemo-integrated processes. The laccase-catalyzed Csp2-H bonds activation via monoelectronic oxidation is also discussed by reporting examples of enzymatic C-C and C-O radical homo- and hetero-couplings, as well as of aromatic nucleophilic substitutions of hydroquinones or quinoids. Finally, the laccase-initiated domino/cascade synthesis of valuable aromatic (hetero)cycles, elegant strategies widely documented in the literature across more than three decades, is also presented.

Purification and Characterization of Two Novel Laccases from Peniophora lycii. J Fungi (Basel) 2020; 6:jof6040340. [PMID: 33291231 PMCID: PMC7762197 DOI: 10.3390/jof6040340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Although, currently, more than 100 laccases have been purified from basidiomycete fungi, the majority of these laccases were obtained from fungi of the Polyporales order, and only scarce data are available about the laccases from other fungi. In this article, laccase production by the white-rot basidiomycete fungus Peniophora lycii, belonging to the Russulales order, was investigated. It was shown that, under copper induction, this fungus secreted three different laccase isozymes. Two laccase isozymes—Lac5 and LacA—were purified and their corresponding nucleotide sequences were determined. Both purified laccases were relatively thermostable with periods of half-life at 70 °C of 10 and 8 min for Lac5 and LacA, respectively. The laccases demonstrated the highest activity toward ABTS (97 U·mg−1 for Lac5 and 121 U·mg−1 for LacA at pH 4.5); Lac5 demonstrated the lowest activity toward 2,6-DMP (2.5 U·mg−1 at pH 4.5), while LacA demonstrated this towards gallic acid (1.4 U·mg−1 at pH 4.5). Both Lac5 and LacA were able to efficiently decolorize such dyes as RBBR and Bromcresol Green. Additionally, phylogenetic relationships among laccases of Peniophora spp. were reconstructed, and groups of orthologous genes were determined. Based on these groups, all currently available data about laccases of Peniophora spp. were systematized.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the production of sugars from ginseng residues treated with laccase. Laccase was used to degrade lignin from ginseng residues in order to increase the yield of sugars. Reaction conditions, including solid loading, pH, enzyme concentration, incubation temperature, and incubation time, were investigated and optimized. The results showed that the optimum conditions were 20% of solid loading (w/v), pH 7, 300 IU/ml, temperature of 40 °C and incubation time of 6 h. The minimum residual lignin obtained was 59.89%. The results also showed that 56.58% sugars including 12.04% water soluble polysaccharides (WSP), 16.24% water insoluble polysaccharides (WIP) and 5.08% reducing sugar were afforded from delignify substance. Chemical characters of these sugars were analyzed. Pretreat of laccase delignification for sugars production is expected to be applied to other herbal residues.

Abstract
Trametes polyzona WRF03 produced high yield of true laccase. Trametes polyzona WRF03 laccase was relatively pH and temperature stable. Fe2+, sodium azide and sodium cyanide greatly inhibited laccase activity. Trametes polyzona WRF03 laccase decolorised many classes of synthetic dyes.
The molecular screening for laccase specific gene sequences in Trametes polyzona WRF03 (TpWRF03) using designed oligonucleotide primers analogous to the conserved sequences on the copper-binding regions of known laccases showed positive amplification with an amplicon size corresponding to 1500 bp. The purified TpWRF03 laccase (TpL) is a monomer with a molecular weight corresponding to 66 kDa. The enzyme had an optimal pH of 4.5 and temperature of 55 °C. TpL was most stable within pH of 5.5–6.5 and at a temperature range of 40–50 °C. Sodium azide, sodium cyanide and Fe2+ greatly inhibited the enzyme activity. TpL showed more than 50 % decolourisation efficiency on coomassie brilliant blue (72.35 %) and malachite green (57.84 %) but displayed low decolourisation efficiency towards Azure B (1.78 %) and methylene blue (0.38 %). The results showed that TpWRF03 produces high-yield of true laccase with robust properties for biotechnological applications.

Genes Identification, Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation Analysis of Laccases from Amylostereum areolatum Provides Molecular Basis of Laccase Bound to Lignin. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228845.

Abstract
An obligate mutualistic relationship exists between the fungus Amylostereum areolatum and woodwasp Sirex noctilio. The fungus digests lignin in the host pine, providing essential nutrients for the growing woodwasp larvae. However, the functional properties of this symbiosis are poorly described. In this study, we identified, cloned, and characterized 14 laccase genes from A. areolatum. These genes encoded proteins of 508 to 529 amino acids and contained three typical copper-oxidase domains, necessary to confer laccase activity. Besides, we performed molecular docking and dynamics simulation of the laccase proteins in complex with lignin compounds (monomers, dimers, trimers, and tetramers). AaLac2, AaLac3, AaLac6, AaLac8, and AaLac10 were found that had low binding energies with all lignin model compounds tested and three of them could maintain stability when binding to these compounds. Among these complexes, amino acid residues ALA, GLN, LEU, PHE, PRO, and SER were commonly present. Our study reveals the molecular basis of A. areolatum laccases interacting with lignin, which is essential for understanding how the fungus provides nutrients to S. noctilio. These findings might also provide guidance for the control of S. noctilio by informing the design of enzyme mutants that could reduce the efficiency of lignin degradation.

Abstract
A new laccase gene from newly isolated Bacillus licheniformis TCCC 111219 was actively expressed in Escherichia coli. This recombinant laccase (rLAC) exhibited a high stability towards a wide pH range and high temperatures. 170% of the initial activity was detected at pH 10.0 after 10-d incubation, and 60% of the initial activity was even kept after 2-h incubation at 70 °C. It indicated that only single type of extreme environment, such as strong alkaline environment (300 K, pH 12) or high temperature (370 K, pH 7), did not show obvious impact on the structural stability of rLAC during molecular dynamics simulation process. But the four loop regions of rLAC where the active site is situated were seriously destroyed when strong alkaline and high temperature environment existed simultaneously (370 K, pH 12) because of the damage of hydrogen bonds and salt bridges. Moreover, this thermo- and alkaline-stable enzyme could efficiently decolorize the structurally differing azo, triphenylmethane, and anthraquinone dyes with appropriate mediator at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.0 at 60 °C. These rare characteristics suggested its high potential in industrial applications to decolorize textile dyeing effluent.

Abstract
Only a few studies have examined how marine-derived fungi and their enzymes adapt to salinity and plant biomass degradation. This work concerns the production and characterisation of an oxidative enzyme identified from the transcriptome of marine-derived fungus Stemphylium lucomagnoense. The laccase-encoding gene SlLac2 from S. lucomagnoense was cloned for heterologous expression in Aspergillus niger D15#26 for protein production in the extracellular medium of around 30 mg L−1. The extracellular recombinant enzyme SlLac2 was successfully produced and purified in three steps protocol: ultrafiltration, anion-exchange chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography, with a final recovery yield of 24%. SlLac2 was characterised by physicochemical properties, kinetic parameters, and ability to oxidise diverse phenolic substrates. We also studied its activity in the presence and absence of sea salt. The molecular mass of SlLac2 was about 75 kDa, consistent with that of most ascomycete fungal laccases. With syringaldazine as substrate, SlLac2 showed an optimal activity at pH 6 and retained nearly 100% of its activity when incubated at 50°C for 180 min. SlLac2 exhibited more than 50% of its activity with 5% wt/vol of sea salt.

Abstract
Exogenous enzymes are extraneous enzymes that are not intrinsic to the subject. The exogenous enzyme industry has been rapidly developing recently. Successful application of recombinant DNA amplification, high-efficiency expression, and immobilization technology to genetically engineered bacteria provides a rich source of enzymes. Amylase, cellulase, protease, pectinase, glycosidase, tannase, and polyphenol oxidase are among the most widely used such enzymes. Currently, the application of exogenous enzyme technology in the development of natural plant resources mainly focuses on improving the taste and flavor of the product, enriching the active ingredient contents, deriving and transforming the structure of a chosen compound, and enhancing the biological activity and utilization of the functional ingredient. In this review, we discuss the application status of exogenous enzyme technology for the development of natural plant resources using typical natural active ingredients from plant, such as resveratrol, steviosides, catechins, mogrosides, and ginsenosides, as examples, to provide basis for further exploitation and utilization of exogenous enzyme technology.

Abstract
Laccase can catalyze the oxidative cross-linking of peptides, which is useful in the production of proteinaceous materials with enhanced functional properties. However, the kinetics and the pathway of this reaction remain unclear. In the present study, laccase-catalyzed oxidative cross-linking reaction was investigated through a combination of computational analysis, kinetic studies and end-product profiling using selected substrate models, including peptide AG-10 (AKKIVSDGNG) (without tyrosine) derived from lysozyme and tyrosine-containing peptide ST-10 (SYMTDYYLST) from potato protein (patatin), and tyrosine. Both laccases from Trametes versicolor (LacTv) and Coriolus hirsutus (LacCh) were used as biocatalysts. Laccase exhibited higher binding affinity and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) towards ST-10 and AG-10 than tyrosine. Among the laccases, LacCh showed higher kcat towards the substrate models than LacTv. Through the molecular docking, this result was attributed to the presence of the ASN206 at the cavity of LacCh. The end product profiles reveal the formation of homo-oligomers (> 5 units) of ST-10 in the reaction catalyzed by LacTv, while polymerization was favored by LacCh. These cross-linked products were identified to have a mix of oligo-tyrosine linkages. In contrast, the cross-linking of AG-10 required the presence of ferulic acid as mediator, which resulted in the formation of hetero-oligomers and polymers of AG-10. The knowledge obtained in the present study provide insight into an effective reaction for peptide cross-linking.

Abstract
Ganoderma produces lignolytic enzymes that can degrade the lignin component of plant cell walls, causing basal stem rot to oil palms. Nitrogen sources may affect plant tolerance to root pathogens while hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) play important roles in plant defense against pathogens. In this study, we examined the expression of genes encoding manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase (Lac) in Ganoderma boninense treated with different nitrogen sources (ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate, sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate), JA, SA and H2O2. Transcripts encoding MnP and Lac were cloned from G. boninense. Of the three GbMnP genes, GbMnP_U6011 was up-regulated by all nitrogen sources examined and H2O2 but was down-regulated by JA. The expression of GbMnP_U87 was only up-regulated by JA while GbMnP_35959 was up-regulated by ammonium nitrate but suppressed by sodium nitrate and down-regulated by H2O2. Among the three GbLac genes examined, GbLac_U90667 was up-regulated by ammonium nitrate, JA, SA and H2O2; GbLac_U36023 was up-regulated by JA and H2O2 while GbLac_U30636 was up-regulated by SA but suppressed by ammonium sulphate, sodium nitrate, JA and H2O2. Differential expression of these genes may be required by their different functional roles in G. boninense.

Abstract
The decolorization of dye and textile effluent by Trametes hirsuta was studied in both induced and non-induced media. A removal of 70-100% of the color was achieved through adsorption and the action of laccases. Laccase activity was increased significantly with the addition of grapefruit peel (4000 U/mL) and effluent with grapefruit peel (16,000 U/mL) in comparison with the basal medium (50 U/mL). Analysis of the expression of laccase isoenzymes lac-B and lac-T revealed clear differences in the expression of these genes. The low levels of expression of lac-B in all media suggest a basal or constitutive gene expression, whereas lac-T was over-expressed in the media with effluent, and showed an up/down regulation depending on culture conditions and time. The results obtained suggest that the lac-T gene of T. hirsuta is involved in the decolorization of dyes.

Abstract
The world today is in a quest for new means of environmental remediation as the methods currently used are not sufficient to halt the damage. Mostly, a global direction is headed toward a shift from traditional chemical-based methods to a more ecofriendly alternative. In this context, biocatalysis is seen as a cost-effective, energy saving, and clean alternative. It is meant to catalyze degradation of recalcitrant chemicals in an easy, rapid, green, and sustainable manner. One already established application of biocatalysis is the removal of dyes from natural water bodies using enzymes, notably oxidoreductases like laccases, due to their wide range of substrate specificity. In order to boost their catalytic activity, various methods of enhancements have been pursued including immobilization of the enzyme on different support materials. Aside from increased catalysis, immobilized laccases have the advantages of higher stability, better durability against harsh environment conditions, longer half-lives, resistance against protease enzymes, and the ability to be recovered for reuse. This review briefly outlines the current methods used for detoxification and decolorization of dye effluents stressing on the importance of laccases as a revolutionary biocatalytic solution to this environmental problem. This work highlights the significance of laccase immobilization and also points out some of the challenges and opportunities of this technology.

Abstract
Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2), a group of multi-copper oxidases (MCOs), play multiple biological functions and widely exist in many species. Fungal laccases have been extensively studied for their industrial applications, however, there was no database specially focused on fungal laccases. To provide a comparative genomics platform for fungal laccases, we have developed a comparative genomics platform for laccases and MCOs (http://laccase.riceblast.snu.ac.kr/). Based on protein domain profiles of characterized sequences, 3,571 laccases were predicted from 690 genomes including 253 fungi. The number of putative laccases and their properties exhibited dynamic distribution across the taxonomy. A total of 505 laccases from 68 genomes were selected and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. As a result, four clades comprised of nine subclades were phylogenetically grouped by their putative functions and analyzed at the sequence level. Our work would provide a workbench for putative laccases mainly focused on the fungal kingdom as well as a new perspective in the identification and classification of putative laccases and MCOs.

Abstract
Intensive studies have been performed on the improvement of bioethanol production by transformation of lignocellulose biomass. In this study, the digestibility of corn stover was dramatically improved by using laccase immobilized on Cu2+ modified recyclable magnetite nanoparticles, Fe3O4-NH2. After digestion, the laccase was efficiently separated from slurry. The degradation rate of lignin reached 40.76%, and the subsequent cellulose conversion rate 38.37% for 72 h at 35 °C with cellulase at 50 U g-1 of corn stover. Compared to those of free and inactivated mode, the immobilized laccase pre-treatment increased subsequent cellulose conversion rates by 23.98% and 23.34%, respectively. Moreover, the reusability of immobilized laccase activity remained 50% after 6 cycles. The storage and thermal stability of the fixed laccase enhanced by 70% and 24.1% compared to those of free laccase at 65 °C, pH 4.5, respectively. At pH 10.5, it exhibited 16.3% more activities than its free mode at 35 °C. Our study provides a new avenue for improving the production of bioethanol with immobilized laccase for delignification using corn stover as the starting material.

Abstract
Catalytic depolymerization of lignin is a challenging process due to competitive repolymerization reactions. In this paper, the oxidative depolymerization of lignin was catalyzed by a commercial laccase both in a batch experiment and in a membrane bioreactor using the same catalytic conditions. The membrane bioreactor was previously optimized to reach high permeation flux (25 L.h-1.m-2) during lignin diafiltration. While the lignin was exclusively condensed in the batch experiment leading to high molecular weight macromolecules (from 9 to 16 kDa), its depolymerization was effective in the bioreactor producing fragments of less than 1 kDa thanks to the in-situ extraction of the reaction products. This paper demonstrates that the reactor configuration is playing an essential role in triggering or preventing lignin condensation. It also reports the first proof-of-concept demonstrating that in-situ membrane extraction of the reactive fragments of lignin from the bulk medium can be useful against detrimental repolymerization reactions.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a known toxic human carcinogen and can be detoxified by laccases, which are multicopper oxidases that convert several environmental pollutants and toxins. In this study, a new laccase that could catalyze AFB1 degradation was purified and identified from the white-rot fungus Cerrena unicolor 6884. The laccase was purified using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and anion exchange chromatography, and then identified as Lac 2 through zymogram and UHPLC-MS/MS based on the Illumina transcriptome analysis of C. unicolor 6884. Six putative laccase protein sequences were obtained via functional annotation. The lac 2 cDNA encoding a full-length protein of 512 amino acids was cloned and sequenced to expand the fungus laccase gene library for AFB1 detoxification. AFB1 degradation by Lac 2 was conducted in vitro at pH 7.0 and 45 °C for 24 h. The half-life of AFB1 degradation catalyzed by Lac 2 was 5.16 h. Acetosyringone (AS), Syrinagaldehyde (SA) and [2,2' -azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] (ABTS) at 1 mM concentration seemed to be similar mediators for strongly enhancing AFB1 degradation by Lac 2. The product of AFB1 degradation catalyzed by Lac 2 was traced and identified to be Aflatoxin Q1 (AFQ1) based on mass spectrometry data. These findings are promising for a possible application of Lac 2 as a new aflatoxin oxidase in degrading AFB1 present in food and feeds.

Abstract
Bamboo shoot shell (BSS), a major byproduct from bamboo shoot industries with a high amount of output annually, needs to be sustainably management due to its impact on environment and human health. Anaerobic digestion is an eco-friendly and sustainable option, but its efficiency is limited by recalcitrance of lignocellulose structure. A cascade pretreatment (CP) using microwave irradiation and fungus metabolism was developed in this work to reduce the recalcitrance of BSS and enhance its methane production. The results showed significant synergistic effects of microwave irradiation and fungus metabolism on anaerobic digestion of BBS. The methane yield by CP increased by 162.9% (reached to 223.4 mL/g VS) when compared to control group. This was higher than both the values of fungal pretreatment (101.0 mL/g VS, 18.9% increase), and microwave pretreatment (110.5 mL/g VS, 30.1% increase) alone. Further mechanisms of the synergistic effects were revealed. Microwave irradiation provided dissolved products and more accessible BBS for fungus action. In particular, the GC-MS analysis indicated the dissolved products induced fungal laccase activity effectively, and the highest activity in CP was 1.91-fold higher than that in fungal pretreatment alone. The fungus in cascade process further increased accessible surface area and reducing sugars (20.2-43.2%, which compared to fungal pretreatment alone), and reduced significantly the lignin content (42.2-49.1%) and crystallinity (4.5-8.1%) of BSS.

Effect of UVB solar irradiation on Laccase enzyme: evaluation of the photooxidation process and its impact over the enzymatic activity for pollutants bioremediation. Amino Acids 2020; 52:925-939.

Abstract
The multi-copper Laccase enzyme corresponds to one of the most investigated oxidoreductases for potential uses in xenobiotic bioremediation. In this work, we have investigated the photo-degradation process of Laccase from Trametesversicolor induced by UVB light and the influence on its activity over selected substrates. Laccase undergoes photo-degradation when irradiated with UVB light, and the process depends on the presence of oxygen in the medium. With the kinetic data obtained from stationary and time resolved measurements, a photo-degradation mechanism of auto-sensitization was proposed for the enzyme. Laccase generates singlet oxygen, by UVB light absorption, and this reactive oxygen species can trigger the photo-oxidation of susceptible amino acids residues present in the protein structure. The catalytic activity of Laccase was evaluated before and after UVB photolysis over hydroxy-aromatic compounds and substituted phenols which represent potential pollutants. The dye bromothymol blue, the antibiotic rifampicin and the model compound syringaldazine, were selected as substrates. The values of the kinetic parameters determined in our experiments indicate that the photo-oxidative process of Laccase has a very negative impact on its overall catalytic function. Despite this, we have not found evidence of structural damage by SDS-PAGE and circular dichroism experiments, which indicate that the enzyme retained its secondary structure. We believe that, given the importance of Laccase in environmental bioremediation, the information found about the stability of this kind of biomolecule exposed to UV solar irradiation may be relevant in the technological design and/or optimization of decontamination strategies.

Abstract
A homogeneous monomeric laccase (ASL) from Agaricus sinodeliciosus, with a molecular mass of 65 kDa, was isolated using ion-exchange chromatography (CM-cellulose and Q-Sepharose) and gel-filtration chromatography (Superdex 75). This laccase exhibited maximum activity at 50 °C and pH 5.0. Hg2+ and Cd2+ significantly inhibited its activity. The laccase displayed a Km value of 0.9 mM toward 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). In addition to ABTS, ASL exhibited higher affinity toward o-toluidine and benzidine than other substrates. ASL is able to decolorize malachite green and Eriochrome black T.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) has a unique feature of having the presence of four Cu atoms arranged into three (Type I, II and III) spectral classification. MCOs laccase due to its broad range of substrate specificity has numerous biotechnological applications. The two types of laccases include the typical blue and the atypical white, yellow laccases which have been isolated from diverse geographical locations globally. In the present study laccases were identified using Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer Studies (LCMS) study where blue laccase exhibited homology with Trametes villosa Q99044 and Q99046 and white, yellow laccase exhibited homology with Myrothecium verrucaria OX = 1859699; Q12737 and Trametes versicolor Q12717 respectively. The spectral comparison between laccases were determined via spectroscopic analysis where UV-spectra of blue laccase from Trametes versicolor had a peak at 605 nm (Type I Cu atom) whereas in case of white and yellow laccases the peak was absent and in addition had an absorption peak at 400nm. It was followed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of proteins where α-helix (10°) and β-sheet (22°) structure were observed in case of all the three laccases. However, the intensity of α-helix in white and yellow laccase was stronger as compared to the blue laccase whereas the intensity of β-sheet was stronger in case of blue laccase as compared to other two laccases. Further, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed which enabled the analysis of proteins where α-helix (1650–1658 cm−1), β-sheets (1620–1640 cm−1), amide I (1700−1600 cm−1) amide II (bands at under 1400 cm−1) and amide A, B (bands above 3000 cm−1).

Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the bioactivity and mode of action of a novel fungicide 4-chlorocinnamaldehyde thiosemicarbazide (PMDD). As a result of its efficacy against various plant pathogens, its protective fungicidal activity, and systemic transport after root treatment, PMDD could be a promising fungicide to control wheat root diseases. In a field assay, PMDD showed good control efficacy on wheat take-all disease. A biochemical study indicated that PMDD acts as a laccase inhibitor, a to date unique mode of fungicidal action. Moreover, a total of seven stable PMDD-resistant Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt) mutants were generated and demonstrated no cross-resistance with any commercial fungicides used for take-all disease control, and the gene expression profile further confirmed that laccase could be the target of PMDD. Taken together, we conclude that PMDD is a laccase inhibitor and could be used on wheat to control take-all diseases. The current study could strongly benefit the registration and application of PMDD.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is an ATP-dependent protease complex (2.5 MDa) that degrades most cellular proteins in Eukaryotes, typically those modified by a polyubiquitin chain. The proteasome-mediated proteolysis regulates a variety of critical cellular processes such as transcriptional control, cell cycle, oncogenesis, apoptosis, protein quality control, and stress response. Previous studies conducted in our laboratory have shown that 26S proteasomes are involved in the regulation of ligninolytic enzymes (such as laccase) in white-rot fungi in response to nutrient starvation, cadmium exposure, and ER stress. Laccases are useful biocatalysts for a wide range of biotechnological applications. The goal of the current study was to determine the effect of ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid), a phenolic compound known to induce some ligninolytic enzymes, on proteasomes isolated from mycelia of the wood-decomposing basidiomycete Trametes versicolor. The peptidase activities of 26S proteasomes were assayed by measuring the hydrolysis of fluorogenic peptide substrates specific for each active site: Suc-LLVY-AMC, Z-GGR-AMC and Z-LLE-AMC for chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and caspase-like site, respectively. Ferulic acid affected all peptidase activities of the 26S fungal proteasomes in a concentration-dependent manner. A possible inhibitory effect of ferulic acid on peptidase activities of the 26S human proteasomes was tested as well. Moreover, the ability of ferulic acid to inhibit (at concentrations known to induce laccase activity in white-rot fungi) the rate of 26S proteasome-catalyzed degradation of a model full-length protein substrate (β-casein) was demonstrated by a fluorescamine assay and by a gel-electrophoretic analysis. Our findings provide new insights into the role of ferulic acid in lignin-degrading fungi. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated by future studies.

Abstract
Although several bacterial lignin-oxidising enzymes have been discovered in recent years, it is not yet clear whether different lignin-degrading bacteria use similar mechanisms for lignin oxidation and degradation of lignin fragments. Genome sequences of 13 bacterial lignin-oxidising bacteria, including new genome sequences for Microbacterium phyllosphaerae and Agrobacterium sp., were analysed for the presence of lignin-oxidising enzymes and aromatic degradation gene clusters that could be used to metabolise the products of lignin degradation. Ten bacterial genomes contain DyP-type peroxidases, and ten bacterial strains contain putative multi-copper oxidases (MCOs), both known to have activity for lignin oxidation. Only one strain lacks both MCOs and DyP-type peroxidase genes. Eleven bacterial genomes contain aromatic degradation gene clusters, of which ten contain the central β-ketoadipate pathway, with variable numbers and types of degradation clusters for other aromatic substrates. Hence, there appear to be diverse metabolic strategies used for lignin oxidation in bacteria, while the β-ketoadipate pathway appears to be the most common route for aromatic metabolism in lignin-degrading bacteria.

Abstract
Ligninolytic enzymes play a key role in degradation and detoxification of lignocellulosic waste in environment. The major ligninolytic enzymes are laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and versatile peroxidase. The activities of these enzymes are enhanced by various mediators as well as some other enzymes (feruloyl esterase, aryl-alcohol oxidase, quinone reductases, lipases, catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase) to facilitate the process for degradation and detoxification of lignocellulosic waste in environment. The structurally laccase is isoenzymes with monomeric or dimeric and glycosylation levels (10–45%). This contains four copper ions of three different types. The enzyme catalyzes the overall reaction: 4 benzenediol + O2 to 4 benzosemiquinone + 2H2O. While, lignin peroxidase is a glycoprotein molecular mass of 38–46 kDa containing one mole of iron protoporphyrin IX per one mol of protein, catalyzes the H2O2 dependent oxidative depolymerization of lignin. The manganese peroxidase is a glycosylated heme protein with molecular mass of 40–50kDa. It depolymerizes the lignin molecule in the presence of manganese ion. The versatile peroxidase has broad range substrate sharing typical features of the manganese and lignin peroxidase families. Although ligninolytic enzymes have broad range of industrial application specially the degradation and detoxification of lignocellulosic waste discharged from various industrial activities, its large scale application is still limited due to lack of limited production. Further, the extremophilic properties of ligninolytic enzymes indicated their broad prospects in varied environmental conditions. Therefore it needs more extensive research for understanding its structure and mechanisms for broad range commercial applications.

Abstract
The laccase has the ability to oxidize substituted phenols and the water is the sole byproduct, thus it has been employed to remove and/or modify the lignin in lignocellulosic material. A putative laccase gene, LacSM, from Sordaria macrospora k-hell was screened by a genome mining approach. Then, it was cloned and highly expressed in Escherichia coli. The molecular weight of recombinant LacSM was ~ 67 kDa. The optimal pH values for the LacSM oxidation of guaiacol, syringaldazine, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) were 6, 7, 5, and 5, respectively. The optimal activity of laccase was observed at 60, 55, 55, and 50 °C for four respective substrates. LacSM remained stable at pH 5-8 and thermostable at 60 °C with guaiacol as the substrate. 1 mM K+, Na+, or Mn2+ ions slightly stimulated laccase activity. In addition, LacSM was moderately tolerant to the Cl- ion and showed an ability to remove and/or modify lignin. Thus, LacSM was a potential candidate for industrial applications, such as lignin degradation of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Laccases are one of many groups of inducible enzymes produced by the filamentous fungus, Botrytis cinerea during colonisation of host plant tissues. While the processes involved in laccase induction are not fully understood, Cupric ions (e.g. CuSO4) and gallic acid (GA) have been reported as laccase inducers. This study investigates laccases activities and the expression of three laccase genes (BcLCC1, BcLCC2, BcLCC3) in three B. cinerea isolates grown in laccase-inducing medium (LIM) supplemented with CuSO4 and GA. Laccase activity in culture filtrates with CuSO4 increased after 48 h of growth in LIM at 24°C. The induction of BcLCC2 transcription was greatest at a concentration of 0.6 mM CuSO4, concentrations greater than 0.6 mM inhibited fungal growth. In contrast, no laccase induction was observed in the presence of GA. Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (NanoLC ESI MS/MS) analysis confirmed the presence of a 63.4 kDa protein, the BcLCC2 isoform in the culture filtrate with 0.6 mM CuSO4. Analysis of mRNA transcripts further showed BcLCC3 was also inducible and the expression of BcLCC2 and BcLCC3 was isolate-dependent. In conclusion, CuSO4 induces a 63.4 kDa laccase in B. cinerea by induced transcription of the BcLCC2 gene.

Abstract
Discovered in 1883, laccase is one of the first enzymes ever described. Now, after almost 140 years of research, it seems that this copper-containing protein with a number of unique catalytic properties is widely distributed across all kingdoms of life. Laccase belongs to the superfamily of multicopper oxidases (MCOs)—a group of enzymes comprising many proteins with different substrate specificities and diverse biological functions. The presence of cupredoxin-like domains allows all MCOs to reduce oxygen to water without producing harmful byproducts. This review describes structural characteristics and plausible evolution of laccase in different taxonomic groups. The remarkable catalytic abilities and broad substrate specificity of laccases are described in relation to other copper-containing MCOs. Through an exhaustive analysis of laccase roles in different taxa, we find that this enzyme evolved to serve an important, common, and protective function in living systems.

Abstract
The oxidation of a vast range of phenolic and non-phenolic substrates has been catalyzed by
laccases. Given a wide range of substrates, laccases can be applied in different biotechnological applications.
The present review was conducted to provide a broad context in pharmaceutical- and biomedical-
related applications of laccases for academic and industrial researchers. First, an overview of biological
roles of laccases was presented. Furthermore, laccase-mediated strategies for imparting antimicrobial
and antioxidant properties to different surfaces were discussed. In this review, laccase-mediated
mechanisms for endowing antimicrobial properties were divided into laccase-mediated bio-grafting of
phenolic compounds on lignocellulosic fiber, chitosan and catheters, and laccase-catalyzed iodination.
Accordingly, a special emphasis was placed on laccase-mediated functionalization for creating antimicrobials,
particularly chitosan-based wound dressings. Additionally, oxidative bio-grafting and oxidative
polymerization were described as the two main laccase-catalyzed reactions for imparting antioxidant
properties. Recent laccase-related studies were also summarized regarding the synthesis of antibacterial
and antiproliferative agents and the degradation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products.

Abstract
Yellow laccases lack the typical blue type 1 Cu absorption band around 600 nm; however, multi-copper oxidases with laccase properties have been reported. We provide the first evidence that the yellow laccase isolated from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is obtained from a blue form by covalent, but nevertheless reversible modification with a phenolic product. After separating the phenolics from the extracellular medium, a typical blue laccase is obtained. With ABTS as model substrate for this blue enzyme, a non-natural purple adduct is formed with a spectrum nearly identical to that of the 1:1 adduct of an ABTS radical and Tyr. This modification significantly increases the stability and substrate affinity of the enzyme, not by acting primarily as bound mediator, but by structural changes that also alters the type 1 Cu site. The HPLC-MS analyses of the ABTS adduct trypsin digests revealed a distinct tyrosine within a unique loop as site involved in the modification of the blue laccase form. Thus, S. sclerotiorum yellow laccase seems to be an intrinsically blue multi-copper oxidase that boosts its activity and stability with a radical-forming aromatic substrate. This particular case could, at least in part, explain the enigma of the yellow laccases.

Abstract
Extremophiles comprise microorganisms that are able to grow and thrive in extreme environments, including in an acidic or alkaline pH, high or low temperatures, high concentrations of pollutants, and salts, among others. These organisms are promising for environmental biotechnology due to their unique physiological and enzymatic characteristics, which allow them to survive in harsh environments. Due to the stability and persistence of these microorganisms under adverse environmental conditions, they can be used for the bioremediation of environments contaminated with extremely recalcitrant pollutants. Here, we provide an overview of extremophiles and the role of "omics" in the field of bioremediation of environmental pollutants, including hydrocarbons, textile dyes and metals.

Abstract
Bacterial CotA-laccases exhibit higher activity in alkaline pH and salt concentration conditions compared to laccases from white-rot fungi. They are considered as green catalysts in decolorizing of industrial dyes. However, CotA-laccases are limited due to the low yield and catalytic efficiency as the spore-bound nature of CotA. A DNA shuffling strategy was applied to generate a random mutation library. To improve laccase activities, a mutant (T232P/Q367R 5E29) with two amino acid substitutions was identified. The catalytic efficiency of mutant 5E29 was 1.21 fold higher compared with that of the wild-type. The Km and kcat values of 5E29 for SGZ were of 20.3 ± 1.3 µM and 7.6 ± 2.7 s-1. The thermal stability was a slight enhancement. Indigo Carmine and Congo red were efficiently decolorized by using this mutant at pH 9.0. These results provide that 5E29 CotA-laccase is a good candidate for biotechnology applications under alkaline condition, with an effective decolorization capability.

Expression Profile of Laccase Gene Family in White-Rot Basidiomycete Lentinula edodes under Different Environmental Stresses. Genes (Basel) 2019; 10:genes10121045. [PMID: 31888265 PMCID: PMC6947313 DOI: 10.3390/genes10121045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 12/12/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Laccases belong to ligninolytic enzymes and play important roles in various biological processes of filamentous fungi, including fruiting-body formation and lignin degradation. The process of fruiting-body development in Lentinula edodes is complex and is greatly affected by environmental conditions. In this paper, 14 multicopper oxidase-encoding (laccase) genes were analyzed in the draft genome sequence of L. edodes strain W1-26, followed by a search of multiple stress-related Cis-elements in the promoter region of these laccase genes, and then a transcription profile analysis of 14 laccase genes (Lelcc) under the conditions of different carbon sources, temperatures, and photoperiods. All laccase genes were significantly regulated by varying carbon source materials. The expression of only two laccase genes (Lelcc5 and Lelcc6) was induced by sodium-lignosulphonate and the expression of most laccase genes was specifically upregulated in glucose medium. Under different temperature conditions, the expression levels of most laccase genes decreased at 39 °C and transcription was significantly increased for Lelcc1, Lelcc4, Lelcc5, Lelcc9, Lelcc12, Lelcc13, and Lelcc14 after induction for 24 h at 10 °C, indicating their involvement in primordium differentiation. Tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin synthesis, was clustered with the same group as Lelcc4 and Lelcc7 in all the different photoperiod treatments. Meanwhile, five laccase genes (Lelcc8, Lelcc9, Lelcc12, Lelcc13, and Lelcc14) showed similar expression profiles to that of two blue light receptor genes (LephrA and LephrB) in the 12 h light/12 h dark treatment, suggesting the involvement of laccase genes in the adaptation process of L. edodes to the changing environment and fruiting-body formation. This study contributes to our understanding of the function of the different Lelcc genes and facilitates the screening of key genes from the laccase gene family for further functional research.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors and biosensors have been proposed as fast and cost effective analytical tools, meeting the robustness and performance requirements for industrial process monitoring. In wine production, electrochemical biosensors have proven useful for monitoring critical parameters related to alcoholic fermentation (AF), malolactic fermentation (MLF), determining the impact of the various technological steps and treatments on wine quality, or assessing the differences due to wine age, grape variety, vineyard or geographical region. This review summarizes the current information on the voltamperometric biosensors developed for monitoring wine production with a focus on sensing concepts tested in industry-like settings and on the main quality parameters such as glucose, alcohol, malic and lactic acids, phenolic compounds and allergens. Recent progress featuring nanomaterial-enabled enhancement of sensor performance and applications based on screen-printed electrodes is emphasized. A case study presents the monitoring of alcoholic fermentation based on commercial biosensors adapted with minimal method development for the detection of glucose and phenolic compounds in wine and included in an automated monitoring system. The current challenges and perspectives for the wider application of electrochemical sensors in monitoring industrial processes such as wine production are discussed.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 25:e00413. [PMID: 31890646 PMCID: PMC6933146 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2019.e00413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2019] [Revised: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Production and purification of laccase from Alcaligenes faecalis. Purified laccase from Alcaligenes faecalis active & stable at high temperature and pH. Laccase had remarkable specificity to an extensive range of probable substrate and tolerant to various metal ions. Efficiently decolorization of different synthetic dyes by laccase.
A laccase producing new bacterial strain (Alcaligenes faecalis XF1) was isolated from green site of Chandigarh (India) by standard screening method. Nutrient broth medium containing 0.2 mM CuSO4 was used for the production of laccase. Maximum production (110 U/ml) was achieved after four days of incubation. The extracellular laccase from the medium was purified by simple salt precipitation and ion exchange technique to get 3.8 fold purified protein with 1637.8 U/mg specific activity. Purified laccase (named as LAC1*) revealed its optimum activity at pH 8.0 and 80 °C temperature, and displayed remarkable stability in the range of 70–90 °C and in the pH range (pH 7.0–9.0). The single bands on SDS-PAGE represents the purity of LAC1* with molecular weight of ∼71 kDa. The kinetic parameters for 2,6-DMP oxidation was Km, Vmax and kcat were 480 μM, 110 U/mL and 1375 s−1. Enzyme activity of the LAC1* was significantly enhanced by Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, SDS and NaCl, and was slightly inhibited in the presence of conventional inhibitors like cysteine, EDTA and sodium azide. Extracellular nature and significant stability of LAC1* under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, heavy metals, halides and detergents confined its suitability for various biotechnological and industrial applications which required these qualities of laccase. So after recognizing all these properties the purified laccase was studied for its application in decolorization of industrial dyes.
