Abstract
Many white rot fungi are able to produce de novo veratryl alcohol, which is known to be a cofactor involved in the degradation of lignin, lignin model compounds, and xenobiotic pollutants by lignin peroxidase (LiP). In this study, Mn nutrition was shown to strongly influence the endogenous veratryl alcohol levels in the culture fluids of N-deregulated and N-regulated white rot fungi Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 and Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767, respectively. Endogenous veratryl alcohol levels as high as 0.75 mM in Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 and 2.5 mM in P. chrysosporium were observed under Mn-deficient conditions. In contrast, veratryl alcohol production was dramatically decreased in cultures supplemented with 33 or 264 (mu)M Mn. The LiP titers, which were highest in Mn-deficient media, were shown to parallel the endogenous veratryl alcohol levels, indicating that these two parameters are related. When exogenous veratryl alcohol was added to Mn-sufficient media, high LiP titers were obtained. Consequently, we concluded that Mn does not regulate LiP expression directly. Instead, LiP titers are enhanced by the increased production of veratryl alcohol. The well-known role of veratryl alcohol in protecting LiP from inactivation by physiological levels of H(inf2)O(inf2) is postulated to be the major reason why LiP is apparently regulated by Mn. Provided that Mn was absent, LiP titers in Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 increased with enhanced fungal growth obtained by increasing the nutrient N concentration while veratryl alcohol levels were similar in both N-limited and N-sufficient conditions.

Abstract
In both Basidiomycotina and Ascomycotina, Poly B-411 decolorization was an excellent indicator of the ability to cause white rot: 109 of the 110 isolates of brown rot fungi tested definitely did not decolorize Poly B-411, and 392 of the 401 mainly active isolates of white rot fungi decolorized Poly B-411. The Bavendamm (tannic acid) reaction was a less reliable test: of 74 white rot isolates examined that could not decay wood, 6 decolorized Poly B-411, but 19 gave positive Bavendamm reactions. Of 80 isolates of Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina that do not cause white rot, only 4 decolorized Poly B-411, but 17 gave a positive Bavendamm test.

at 37°C for 24 h, the pulp brightness increased by about 10 points and the kappa number decreased by about 6 points compared with untreated pulp. The pulp brightness was also increased by 43 points to 75.5% by multiple (six) treatments with MnP combined with alkaline extraction. Our results indicate that in vitro degradation of residual lignin in hardwood kraft pulp with MnP is possible.

Abstract
A non-phenolic lignin model dimer, 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenoxypropane-1,3-diol, was oxidized by a lipid peroxidation system that consisted of a fungal manganese peroxidase, Mn(II), and unsaturated fatty acid esters. The reaction products included 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-phenoxy-3-hydroxypropane and 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-3-hydroxypropane, indicating that substrate oxidation occurred via benzylic hydrogen abstraction. The peroxidation system depolymerized both exhaustively methylated (non-phenolic) and unmethylated (phenolic) synthetic lignins efficiently. It may therefore enable white-rot fungi to accomplish the initial delignification of wood.

Abstract
Two heme proteins, manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP), play key roles in the fungal depolymerization of lignin. Many cDNA and genomic clones encoding these peroxidases have been published. We report here on the cDNA lambda MP-2 encoding the MnP isozyme H3 from Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain BKM-F-1767. We also demonstrate that the MnP-encoding gene, lambda MP-1, encoding isozyme H4, and lambda MP-2 reside on separate chromosomes from each other and from the LiP-encoding genes. From these results, it is apparent that lambda MP-2 is not linked to lambda MP-1 or other genes believed to be involved in lignin depolymerization, such as the LiP and glyoxal oxidase.

Abstract
Oxidation capacities of laccase, manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) from Phlebia radiata were compared using non-phenolic (veratryl alcohol and ABTS) and phenolic (syringaldazine, vanillalacetone and Phenol red) compounds as reducing substrates. The effect of Mn(II) on enzyme reactions was also studied. Highest specific activities were recorded with laccase in the oxidation of phenolic compounds or ABTS and irrespective of Mn(II) concentration. LiP and MnP oxidized all these substrates but only the catalysis of MnP was dependent upon Mn(II). Only LiP clearly oxidized veratryl alcohol. However, Mn(II) interfered with this reaction by repressing veratraldehyde formation. These results point to multiple participation of manganese ions, either as a reducing (Mn(II)) or oxidizing (Mn(III)) agent in the enzymatic reactions.

Abstract
The degradation of four dimeric lignin model compounds by meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin iron chloride (TDCSPPFeCl) (2) are reported. 4-Ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether (3) (a beta-0-4 dimer) was cleaved to give 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (4) and guaiacol (5) as major products. The oxidation of 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-propandiol (6, a beta-1 dimer) gave 4, 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (7), and 4-methoxy-alpha-hydroxyacetophenone (8) as major products. Side chain oxidation and aromatic ring cleavage reactions were found to occur for the phenylcoumaran (alpha-5) model compound, ethyl dehydrodiisoeugenol (12). A biphenyl model compound, 4,4'-diethyldehydrodivanillin (20), was oxidized to give mono- and dicarboxy derivatives, as well as ring-cleaved products of the acid derivatives.

Abstract
We demonstrate direct oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by lignin peroxidase (LiP) from the lignin-degrading basidiomycete, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Steady-state kinetic data fit a peroxidase ping-pong mechanism rather than an ordered bi-bi ping-pong mechanism, suggesting that the reductions of LiP compounds I and II by ferrocytochrome c are irreversible. The pH dependence of the overall reaction apparently is controlled by two factors, the pH dependence of the electron-transfer rate and the pH dependence of enzyme inactivation in the presence of H2O2. In the presence of 100 microM H2O2, veratryl alcohol (VA) significantly enhanced cytochrome c oxidation at pH 3.0 but had little effect above pH 4.5. In the presence of < 10 microM H2O2, the stimulating effect of VA on the reaction is greatly diminished. As with cytochrome c peroxidase reactions, LiP oxidation of ferrocytochrome c decreased as the ionic strength increased, implying the involvement of electrostatic interactions between the polymeric substrate and enzyme. The reaction product ferricytochrome c inhibited VA oxidation by LiP in a noncompetitive manner, suggesting that cytochrome c binds to LiP at a site different from the small aromatic substrate binding site. Recent crystallographic studies show that the heme is buried in the LiP protein and unavailable for direct interaction with polymeric substrates, suggesting that electron transfer from ferrocytochrome c to LiP occurs over a relatively long range. The role of VA in this electron-transfer reaction is discussed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The ligninolytic enzymes produced by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida in liquid culture were studied. Only manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity could be detected in the supernatant liquid of the cultures. Lignin peroxidase (LiP) and laccase activities were not detected under a variety of different culture conditions. The highest MnP activity levels were obtained in nitrogen-limited cultures grown under an oxygen atmosphere. The enzyme was induced by Mn(II). The initial pH of the culture medium did not significantly affect the MnP production. Three MnP isozymes were identified (MnPI, MnPII, and MnPIII) and purified to homogeneity by anion-exchange chromatography followed by hydrophobic chromatography. The isozymes are glycoproteins with approximately the same molecular mass (around 45 kDa) but have different pIs. The pIs are 5.3, 4.2, and 3.3 for MnPI, MnPII, and MnPIII, respectively. The three isozymes are active in the same range of pHs (pHs 3.0 to 6.0) and have optimal pHs between 4.5 and 5.0. Their amino-terminal sequences, although highly similar, were distinct, suggesting that each is the product of a separate gene.

Abstract
The white rot fungi technology is very different from other more well-established methods of bioremediation (e.g., bacterial systems). The differences are primarily due to the mechanisms discussed previously. The unusual mechanisms used by the fungi provide them with several advantages for pollutant degradation, but the complexity of these mechanisms has also made the technology slow to emerge as a viable method of bioremediation. One distinct advantage that white rot fungi have over bacterial systems is that they do not require preconditioning to a particular pollutant. Bacteria must be preexposed to a pollutant to allow the enzymes that degrade the pollutant to be induced. The pollutant must also be present in a significant concentration, otherwise induction of enzyme synthesis will not occur. Therefore, there is a finite level to which pollutants can be degraded by bacteria. In contrast, the degradative enzymes of white rot fungi are induced by nutrient limitation. Thus, cultivate the fungus on a nutrient that is limited in something, and the degradative process will be initiated. Also, because the induction of the lignin-degrading system is not dependent on the chemical, pollutants are degraded to near-nondetectable levels by white rot fungi. Another unique feature of pollutant degradation by white rot fungi involves kinetics. The process of chemical conversion by these fungi occurs via a free-radical process, and thus the degradation of chemicals often follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. In fact, in several studies, it has been found that the rate of mineralization or disappearance of a pollutant is proportional to the concentration of the pollutant. This makes the time required to achieve decontamination more important than the rate of degradation. Because the metabolism of chemicals by bacteria involves mostly enzymatic conversions, pollutant degradation often follows Michaelis-Menton-type kinetics. Therefore, Km values of various degradative enzymes with respect to the pollutant must be considered when using bacteria for bioremediation. Considering this, the solubility of a pollutant or a mixture of pollutants might also present a problem for bacterial degradation. In contrast, using a nonspecific free-radical-based mechanism, the fungi are able to degrade insoluble complex mixtures of pollutants, such as creosote (Aust and Bumpus 1989) and Arochlor (Bumpus and Aust 1987b). Inexpensive nutrient sources, such as sawdust, wood chips, surplus grains, and agricultural wastes, can be used to effectively cultivate white rot fungi.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Acid and nonacid generating fungal strains isolated from weathered sandstone, limestone, and granite of Spanish cathedrals were assayed for their ability to oxidize iron and manganese. In general, the concentration of the different cations present in the mineral salt media directly affected Mn(IV) oxide formation, although in some cases, the addition of glucose and nitrate to the culture media was necessary. Mn(II) oxidation in acidogenic strains was greater in a medium containing the highest concentrations of glucose, nitrate, and manganese. High concentrations of Fe(II), glucose, and mineral salts were optimal for iron oxidation. Mn(IV) precipitated as oxides or hydroxides adhered to the mycelium. Most of the Fe(III) remained in solution by chelation with organic acids excreted by acidogenic strains. Other metabolites acted as Fe(III) chelators in nonacidogenic strains, although Fe(III) deposits around the mycelium were also detected. Both iron and manganese oxidation were shown to involve extracellular, hydrosoluble enzymes, with maximum specific activities during exponential growth. Strains able to oxidize manganese were also able to oxidize iron. It is concluded that iron and manganese oxidation reported in this work were biologically induced by filamentous fungi mainly by direct (enzymatic) mechanisms.

Abstract
Nitrogen, carbon, and manganese are potent regulators of lignin degradation, but although nitrogen and carbon elicit a generalizated response when cells are starved, manganese is a relatively specific regulator of lignin and manganese peroxidase (LiP and MnP, respectively). At high manganese levels, MnP is induced, and LiP is repressed. At low Mn levels, MnP is repressed, and LiP is induced. Organic acid chelators are very important in attaining LiP repression with high Mn. Both mineralization and lignin depolymerization are regulated by manganese in the presence of organic acid chelators. As long as the chelators keep Mn(II) and Mn(III) in solution, repression is observed, but eventually, dismutation reactions cause the formation and precipitation of Mn (IV) as MnO2. Repression is immediately relieved, and depolymerization and mineralization proceed at a high rate.

Abstract
The white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium completely degrades lignin and a variety of aromatic pollutants during the secondary metabolic phase of growth. Two families of secreted heme enzymes, lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP), are major components of the extracellular lignin degradative system of this organism. MnP and LiP both are encoded by families of genes, and the lip genes appear to be clustered. The lip genes contain eight or nine short introns; the mnp genes contain six or seven short introns. The sequences surrounding active-site residues are conserved among LiP, MnP, cytochrome c peroxidase, and plant peroxidases. The eight LiP cysteine residues align with 8 of the 10 cysteines in MnP. LiPs are synthesized as preproenzymes with a 21-amino-acid signal sequence followed by a 6- or 7-amino-acid propeptide. MnPs have a 21- or 24-amino-acid signal sequence but apparently lack a propeptide. Both LiP and MnP are regulated at the mRNA level by nitrogen, and the various isozymes may be differentially regulated by carbon and nitrogen. MnP also is regulated at the level of gene transcription by Mn(II), the substrate for the enzyme, and by heat shock. The promoter regions of mnp genes contain multiple heat shock elements as well as sequences that are identical to the consensus metal regulatory elements found in mammalian metallothionein genes. DNA transformation systems have been developed for P. chrysosporium and are being used for studies on gene regulation and for gene replacement experiments.

Abstract
Lignin and manganese peroxidases are secreted by the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium during secondary metabolism. These enzymes play major roles in lignin degradation. The active site amino acid sequence of these lignin-degrading peroxidases is similar to that of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP). The mechanism by which they oxidize substrates also appears to be the similar. pH has a similar effect on lignin peroxidase compound I formation as on HRP or CcP; however, the pKa controlling compound I formation for lignin peroxidase appears to be much lower. Lignin-degrading peroxidases are able to catalyze the oxidation of substrates with high redox potential. This unique ability is consistent with a heme active site of low electron density, which is indicated by high redox potential.

Abstract
Oxalate is produced by numerous wood-degrading fungi. Our studies here show that the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium produces extracellular oxalate under conditions that induce synthesis of the ligninolytic system. Little or no oxalate was detected in cultures grown under high nutrient nitrogen or carbon. This extracellular oxalate was identified and quantitated by HPLC. Its identity was further substantiated by its decomposition by the enzyme oxalate oxidase. The oxalate content of the extracellular fluid (peaking at 60 microM) paralleled the extracellular activity of the lignin-degrading enzyme, Mn peroxidase. Significantly, we demonstrated that oxalate, at physiological concentrations, substantially stimulated Mn peroxidase-catalyzed phenol red oxidation, presumably by its ability to chelate Mn. Stopped flow studies also indicate that oxalate accelerates the turnover of Mn peroxidase. Furthermore, we discovered that oxalate can support Mn peroxidase-catalyzed oxidations in the absence of exogenous H2O2 and in the presence of dioxygen. These results allow us to propose an important role for oxalate, a ubiquitous compound produced by wood-destroying fungi, in lignin biodegradation.

Abstract
We studied the effect of manganese and various organic chelators on the distribution, depolymerization, and mineralization of synthetic 14C-labeled lignins (DHP) in cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. In the presence of high levels of manganese [Mn(II) or Mn(III)], along with a suitable chelator, lignin peroxidase (LiP) production was repressed and manganese peroxidase (MnP) production was stimulated. Even though partial lignin depolymerization was observed under these conditions, further depolymerization of the polymer to smaller compounds was more efficient when low levels of manganese were present. LiPs were prevalent under these latter conditions, but MnPs were also present. Mineralization was more efficient with low manganese. These studies indicate that MnP performs the initial steps of DHP depolymerization but that LiP is necessary for further degradation of the polymer to lower-molecular-weight products and mineralization. We also conclude that a soluble Mn(II)-Mn(III) organic acid complex is necessary to repress LiP.

Abstract
Recombinant Phanerochaete chrysosporium lignin peroxidase isozyme H2 (pI 4.4) was produced in insect cells infected with a genetically engineered baculovirus containing a copy of the cDNA clone lambda ML-6. The recombinant enzyme was purified to near homogeneity and is capable of oxidizing veratryl alcohol, iodide, and, to a lesser extent, guaiacol. The Km of the recombinant enzyme for veratryl alcohol and H2O2 is similar to that of the fungal enzyme. The guaiacol oxidation activity or any other activity is not dependent upon Mn2+. The purified recombinant peroxidase is glycosylated with N-linked carbohydrate(s). The recombinant lignin peroxidase eluted from an anion exchange resin similar to that of native isozyme H1 rather than H2. However, the pI of the recombinant enzymes is different from both H1 and H2 isozymes. Further characterization of native isozymes H1 and H2 from the fungal cultures revealed identical N-terminus residues. This indicates that isozymes H1 and H2 differ in post-translational modification.

Abstract
Eight rapid Poly R-478 dye-decolorizing isolates from The Netherlands were screened in this study for the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) supplied at 10 mg liter(-1). Several well-known ligninolytic culture collection strains, Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767, Trametes versicolor Paprican 52, and Bjerkandera adusta CBS 595.78 were tested in parallel. All of the strains significantly removed anthracene, and nine of the strains significantly removed benzo(a)pyrene beyond the limited losses observed in sterile liquid and HgCl2-poisoned fungus controls. One of the new isolates, Bjerkandera sp. strain Bos 55, was the best degrader of both anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene, removing 99.2 and 83.1% of these compounds after 28 days, respectively. Half of the strains, exemplified by strains of the genera Bjerkandera and Phanerochaete, converted anthracene to anthraquinone, which was found to be a dead-end metabolite, in high yields. The extracellular fluids of selected strains were shown to be implicated in this conversion. In contrast, four Trametes strains removed anthracene without significant accumulation of the quinone. The ability of Trametes strains to degrade anthraquinone was confirmed in this study. None of the strains accumulated PAH quinones during benzo(a)pyrene degradation. Biodegradation of PAH by the various strains was highly correlated to the rate by which they decolorized Poly R-478 dye, demonstrating that ligninolytic indicators are useful in screening for promising PAH-degrading white rot fungal strains.

Abstract
Manganese peroxidase (MnP) oxidized 1-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy) -1,3-dihydroxypropane (I) in the presence of MnII and H2O2 to yield 1-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)- 2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-oxo-3-hydroxypropane (II), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (III), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-dihydroxybenzene (IV), 2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-hydroxypropanal (V), syringaldehyde (VI), vanillyl alcohol (VII), and vanillin (VIII). MnP oxidized II to yield 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (III), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-dihydroxybenzene (IV), vanillyl alcohol (VII), vanillin (VIII), syringic acid (IX), and 2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-hydroxypropanoic acid (X). A chemically prepared MnIII-malonate complex catalyzed the same reactions. Oxidation of I and II in H2(18)O under argon resulted in incorporation of one atom of 18O into the quinone III and into the hydroquinone IV. Incorporation of one atom of oxygen from H2(18)O into syringic acid (IX) and the phenoxypropanoic acid X was also observed in the oxidation of II. These results are explained by mechanisms involving the initial one-electron oxidation of I or II by enzyme-generated MnIII to produce a phenoxy radical. This intermediate is further oxidized by MnIII to a cyclohexadienyl cation. Loss of a proton, followed by rearrangement of the quinone methide intermediate, yields the C alpha-oxo dimer II as the major product from substrate I. Alternatively, cyclohexadienyl cations are attacked by water. Subsequent alkyl-phenyl cleavage yields the hydroquinone IV and the phenoxypropanal V from I, and IV and the phenoxypropanoic acid X from II, respectively. The initial phenoxy radical also can undergo C alpha-C beta bond cleavage, yielding syringaldehyde (VI) and a C6-C2-ether radical from I and syringic acid (IX) and the same C6-C2-ether radical from II. The C6-C2-ether radical is scavenged by O2 or further oxidized by MnIII, subsequently leading to release of vanillyl alcohol (VII). VII and IV are oxidized to vanillin (VIII) and the quinone III, respectively.

Abstract
Lignin and Mn peroxidases are two families of isozymes produced by the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium under nutrient nitrogen or carbon limitation. We purified to homogeneity the three major Mn peroxidase isozymes, H3 (pI = 4.9), H4 (pI = 4.5), and H5 (pI = 4.2). Amino-terminal sequencing of these isozymes demonstrates that they are encoded by different genes. We also analyzed the regulation of these isozymes in carbon- and nitrogen-limited cultures and found not only that the lignin and Mn peroxidases are differentially regulated but also that differential regulation occurs within the Mn peroxidase isozyme family. The isozyme profile and the time at which each isozyme appears in secondary metabolism differ in both nitrogen- and carbon-limited cultures. Each isozyme also responded differently to the addition of a putative inducer, divalent Mn. The stability of the Mn peroxidases in carbon- and nitrogen-limited cultures was also characterized after cycloheximide addition. The Mn peroxidases are more stable in carbon-limited cultures than in nitrogen-limited cultures. They are also more stable than the lignin peroxidases. These data collectively suggest that the Mn peroxidase isozymes serve different functions in lignin biodegradation.

Abstract
The cDNA clone lambda ML-1 encoding one of the extracellular lignin peroxidases from the white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, was heterologously expressed in an active form using a recombinant baculovirus system. The glycosylated extracellular form of the recombinant protein contained the ferriprotoporphyrin IX moiety and was capable of oxidizing both iodide and the model lignin compound, veratryl alcohol. In comparative peroxidase assays using guaiacol and Mn(II), the recombinant lignin peroxidase did not appear to be Mn(II) dependent. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the heterologously expressed peroxidase had an apparent molecular weight similar to that of the native fungal isozyme H8. The elution profile of the active recombinant enzyme derived by ion-exchange chromatography and immunoblot analysis using an anti-H8 monoclonal antibody provided further evidence that the lambda ML-1 DNA encodes the lignin peroxidase H8.

Abstract
Phanerochaete chrysosporium was able to degrade high molecular weight chlorolignins (Mr greater than 30,000) from bleach plant effluents, although a direct contact between ligninolytic enzymes and chlorolignin was prevented by a dialysis tubing. In the absence of the enzymes, Mn3+ depolymerized chlorolignin when complexed with lactate causing the color, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and dry weight to decrease by 80%, 60% and 40%, respectively. Manganese peroxidase effectively catalyzed the depolymerization of chlorolignin in the presence of Mn2+ and H2O2. It can be concluded from these results that manganese peroxidase plays the major role in the initial breakdown and decolorization of high molecular weight chlorolignin in bleach plant effluents by P. chrysosporium in vivo.

Abstract
Extracellular manganese peroxidase and laccase activities were detected in cultures of Dichomitus squalens (Polyporus anceps) under conditions favoring lignin degradation. In contrast, neither extracellular lignin peroxidase nor aryl alcohol oxidase activity was detected in cultures grown under a wide variety of conditions. The mineralization of 14C-ring-, -side chain-, and -methoxy-labeled synthetic guaiacyl lignins by D. squalens and the expression of extracellular manganese peroxidase were dependent on the presence of Mn(II), suggesting that manganese peroxidase is an important component of this organism's lignin degradation system. The expression of laccase activity was independent of manganese. In contrast to previous findings with Phanerochaete chrysosporium, lignin degradation by D. squalens proceeded in the cultures containing excess carbon and nitrogen.

Abstract
The expression of manganese peroxidase in nitrogen-limited cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium is dependent on Mn, and initial work suggested that Mn regulates transcription of the mnp gene. In this study, using Northern (RNA) blot analysis of kinetic, dose-response, and inhibitor experiments, we demonstrate unequivocally that Mn regulates mnp gene transcription. The amount of mnp mRNA in cells of 4-day-old nitrogen-limited cultures is a direct function of the concentration of Mn in the culture medium up to a maximum of 180 microM. Addition of Mn to nitrogen-limited Mn-deficient secondary metabolic (4-, 5-, and 6-day-old) cultures results in the appearance of mnp mRNA within 40 min. The appearance of this message is completely inhibited by the RNA synthesis inhibitor dactinomycin but not by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. Furthermore, the amount of mnp mRNA produced is a direct function of the concentration of added Mn. In contrast, addition of Mn to low-nitrogen Mn-deficient 2- or 3-day-old cultures does not result in the appearance of mnp mRNA. Manganese peroxidase protein is detected by specific immunoprecipitation of the in vitro translation products of poly(A) RNA isolated from Mn-supplemented (but not from Mn-deficient) cells. All of these results demonstrate that Mn, the substrate for the enzyme, regulates mnp gene transcription via a growth-stage-specific and concentration-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Homogeneous manganese peroxidase catalyzed the in vitro partial depolymerization of four different 14C-labeled synthetic lignin preparations. Gel permeation profiles demonstrated significant depolymerization of 14C-sidechain-labeled syringyl lignin, a 14C-sidechain-labeled syringyl-guaiacyl copolymer (angiosperm lignin), and depolymerization of 14C-sidechain- and 14C-ring-labeled guaiacyl lignins (gymnosperm lignin). 3,5-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzo-quinone, 3,5-dimethoxy-1,4-hydroquinone, and syringylaldehyde were identified as degradation products of the syringyl and syringyl-guaiacyl lignins. These results suggest that manganese peroxidase plays a significant role in the depolymerization of lignin by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of a gene (mnp-1) encoding manganese peroxidase isozyme 1 (MnP-1) (pI = 4.9) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been determined. The sequence of 2539 bp includes 526 bp of 5'-flanking sequence and 368 bp 3' to the poly(A) site. Comparison of cDNA and genomic sequences indicates six introns varying in size from 57-72 bp. Intron splice-junction sequences all adhere to the GT---AG rule. The positions of the introns show little similarity to the intron positions in the closely related lignin peroxidase-encoding genes. The 5' upstream region of the mnp-1 gene contains a TATAA element and three inverted CCAAT elements (ATTGG) at nt positions -81, -181, -195, and -304, respectively, relative to the start codon. In addition, the mnp-1 gene contains three putative heat-shock (HS) elements similar to the consensus C--GAA--TTC--G sequence, and two consensus metal response elements located within 500 bp upstream from the start codon. Furthermore, Northern-blot analysis demonstrates that mnp gene transcription is regulated by HS.

Abstract
The effect of manganese on lignin peroxidase activity was studied. The enzyme was produced with a new process using an air-lift-type reactor. The experiments were performed with veratryl alcohol and a dimeric lignin model compound. It was shown that when Mn(II).lactate complex was present the amount of veratraldehyde formed and the uptake of oxygen were significantly enhanced during the aerobic oxidation of veratryl alcohol. A similar effect can be obtained with superoxide dismutase. These results strongly suggest that the superoxide anion can occur during the reaction; its scavenging by Mn(II) or superoxide dismutase generates H2O2. In contrast, no evidence for the formation of superoxide anion was found during oxidation of the lignin model, compound veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether.

Abstract
The appearance of manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity in nitrogen-limited cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium is dependent on the presence of manganese. Cultures grown in the absence of Mn developed normally and produced normal levels of the secondary metabolite veratryl alcohol but produced no MnP activity. Immunoblot analysis indicated that appearance of MnP protein in the extracellular medium was also dependent on the presence of Mn. Intracellular MnP protein was detectable only in cells grown in the presence of Mn. MnP mRNA was detected by Northern (RNA) blot analysis only in cells grown in the presence of Mn. If Mn was added to 4-day-old nitrogen-limited Mn-deficient cultures, extracellular MnP activity appeared after 6 h and reached a maximum after 18 h. Both actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited the induction of MnP activity by Mn. These results indicate that Mn, the substrate of the enzyme, is involved in the transcriptional regulation of the MnP gene.

Abstract
Extracellular culture filtrates from ligninolytic cultures of the lignin-degrading basidiomycete Lentinula (syn. Lentinus) edodes (Berk.) Pegler contained one major peroxidase when grown on a commercial oak-wood substrate. The peroxidase was purified by polyethylenimine clarification, anion-exchange chromatography, and hydrophobic-interaction HPLC. The enzyme (MnP1) was a heme-iron protein with an apparent molecular weight of 44,600 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels and an isoelectric point of pH 3.2. The native enzyme had an absorption maximum at 407 nm, which shifted to 420 nm upon H2O2 addition. The pyridine-hemochrome-absorption spectrum indicated that one heme group was present per enzyme as protoporphyrin IX. N-Terminal amino acid sequencing showed that MnP1 had higher sequence homology with manganese peroxidases than with lignin peroxidases reported from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. L. edodes MnP1 was capable of oxidizing lignin and lignin-model compounds in the presence of manganese and H2O2.

The enzyme had a molecular weight of 49,000 and pI 3.8. It was a glycoprotein, containing carbohydrate moieties accounting for 10% of the molecular weight. Mn-peroxidase was capable of oxidizing phenolic compounds in the presence of H2O2, whereas the effect on nonphenolic lignin model compounds was insignificant. MnP contained protoporphyrin IX as a prosthetic group. During enzymatic reactions H2O2 converted the native MnP to compound II. Mn2+ was essential in completing the catalytic cycle by returning the enzyme to its native state. The oxidation of ultimate substrates was dependent on superoxide radicals, O2- and probably on Mn3+ generated during the catalytic cycle. MnP exhibited high activity of NADH oxidation without exogenously added H2O2. It was shown to produce H2O2 at the expense of NADH.

Abstract
Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is one of two extracellular peroxidases believed to be involved in lignin biodegradation by the white-rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The enzyme oxidizes Mn(II) to Mn(III), which accumulates in the presence of Mn(III) stabilizing ligands. The Mn(III) complex in turn can oxidize a variety of organic substrates. The stoichiometry of Mn(III) complex formed per hydrogen peroxide consumed approaches 2:1 as enzyme concentration increases at a fixed concentration of peroxide or as peroxide concentration decreases at a fixed enzyme concentration. Reduced stoichiometry below 2:1 is shown to be due to Mn(III) complex decomposition by hydrogen peroxide. Reaction of Mn(III) with peroxide is catalyzed by Cu(II), which explains an apparent inhibition of MnP by Cu(II). The net decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form molecular oxygen also appears to be the only observable reaction in buffers that do not serve as Mn(III) stabilizing ligands. The nonproductive decomposition of both Mn(III) and peroxide is an important finding with implications for proposed in vitro uses of the enzyme and for its role in lignin degradation. Steady-state kinetics of Mn(III) tartrate and Mn(III) malate formation by the enzyme are also described in this paper, with results largely corroborating earlier findings by others. Based on a comparison of pH effects on the kinetics of enzymatic Mn(III) tartrate and Mn(III) malate formation, it appears that pH effects are not due to ionizations of the Mn(III) complexing ligand.
