Abstract
Although extensive research efforts have been dedicated to characterizing the laccase from white-rot fungus, little information is available on laccases from Trichoderma spp. A copper-tolerant strain with the ability to produce laccase was isolated and identified as Trichoderma asperellum Ts93. Under optimized conditions, the maximum laccase activity was 1.96 U/ml. The genome-wide survey of Ts93 revealed the presence of seven putative laccase genes that all contained the conserved domain and were divided into three different phylogenetic groups. Among these genes, three contained the four copper-binding conserved regions. The expression profiles acquired through real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that five of the seven genes were significantly upregulated in response to laccase activity. Seven laccase genes in T. asperellum were identified for the first time by whole-genome sequencing followed by phylogenetic analysis. The findings of this work provide valuable information for the functional analysis of laccase genes in Trichoderma spp.

[PMID: 38647951 PMCID: PMC10992038 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-023-00640-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Lignin has enormous potential as a renewable feedstock for depolymerizing to numerous high-value chemicals. However, lignin depolymerization is challenging owing to its recalcitrant, heterogenous, and limited water-soluble nature. From the standpoint of environmental friendliness and sustainability, enzymatic depolymerization of lignin is of great significance. Notably, laccases play an essential role in the enzymatic depolymerization of lignin and are considered the ultimate green catalysts. Deep eutectic solvent (DES), an efficient media in biocatalysis, are increasingly recognized as the newest and utmost green solvent that highly dissolves lignin. This review centers on a lignin depolymerization strategy by harnessing the good lignin fractionating capability of DES and the high substrate and product selectivity of laccase. Recent progress and insights into the laccase-DES interactions, protein engineering strategies for improving DES compatibility with laccase, and controlling the product selectivity of lignin degradation by laccase or in DES systems are extensively provided. Lastly, the challenges and prospects of the alliance between DES and laccase for lignin depolymerization are discussed. The collaboration of laccase and DES provides a great opportunity to develop an enzymatic route for lignin depolymerization.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is considered one of the significant recalcitrant materials and also is difficult to break down because of its complex structure. Different microbes such as bacteria and fungi are responsible for breaking down these complex lignin structures. This article discussed briefly the lignin-degrading bacteria and their critical steps involved in lignin depolymerization. In addition, fungi are regarded as the ideal microorganism for the degradation of lignin because of their highly effective hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme systems for the breakdown of lignocellulosic materials. The white rot fungi, mainly belonging to basidiomycetes, is the main degrader of lignin among various microorganisms. This could be achieved because of the presence of lignolytic enzymes such as laccases, lignin peroxidases, and manganese peroxidases. The significance of the fungi and lignolytic enzyme’s role in lignin depolymerization, along with its mechanism and chemical pathways, are emphasized in this article.

The C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein MaNCP1 Contributes to Conidiation through Governing the Nitrate Assimilation Pathway in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium acridum. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8090942. [PMID: 36135667 PMCID: PMC9505000 DOI: 10.3390/jof8090942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Zinc finger proteins are an important class of multifunctional regulators. Here, the roles of a C2H2 zinc finger protein MaNCP1 (Metarhizium acridum nitrate-related conidiation pattern shift regulatory factor 1) in nitrogen utilization and conidiation were explored in the entomopathogenic fungus M. acridum. The results showed that MaNCP1-disruption mutant (ΔMaNCP1) impaired the ability to utilize nitrate, ammonium and glutamine and reduced the expression of nitrate assimilation-related genes, suggesting that MaNCP1 was involved in governing nitrogen utilization. In addition, the conidial yield of the ΔMaNCP1 strain, cultured on the microcycle conidiation medium (SYA), was significantly decreased, which could be restored or even enhanced than that of the WT strain through increasing the nitrate content in SYA medium. Further study showed that MaAreA, a core regulator in the nitrogen catabolism repression (NCR) pathway, was a downstream target gene of MaNCP1. Screening the differential expression genes between WT and ΔMaNCP1 strains revealed that the conidial yield of M. acridum regulated by nitrate might be related to NCR pathway on SYA medium. It could be concluded that MaNCP1 contributes to the nitrate assimilation and conidiation, which will provide further insights into the relationship between the nitrogen utilization and conidiation in fungi.

Abstract
In recent years, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) have gained increasing attention as promising nontoxic solvents for biotechnological applications, due to their compatibility with enzymes and ability to enhance their activity. Betaine-based NADESs at a concentration of 25 wt % in a buffered aqueous solution were used as media to inhibit thermal inactivation of POXA1b laccase and its five variants when incubated at 70 and 90 °C. All the tested laccases showed higher residual activity when incubated in NADES solutions, with a further enhancement achieved also for the most thermostable variant. Furthermore, the residual activity of laccases in the presence of NADESs showed a clear advantage over the use of NADESs' individual components. Molecular docking simulations were performed to understand the role of NADESs in the stabilization of laccases toward thermal inactivation, evaluating the interaction between each enzyme and NADESs' individual components. A correlation within the binding energies between laccases and NADES components and the stabilization of the enzymes was demonstrated. These findings establish the possibility of preincubating enzymes in NADESs as a facile and cost-effective solution to inhibit thermal inactivation of enzymes when exposed to high temperatures. This computer-aided approach can assist the tailoring of NADES composition for every enzyme of interest.

Conversion of lignin-derived 3-methoxycatechol to the natural product purpurogallin using bacterial P450 GcoAB and laccase CueO. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 106:593-603. [PMID: 34971410 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11738-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Purpurogallin is a natural benzotropolone extracted from Quercus spp, which has antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Purpurogallin is typically synthesized from pyrogallol using enzymatic or metal catalysts, neither economically feasible nor environmentally friendly. 3-Methoxycatechol (3-MC) is a lignin-derived renewable chemical with the potential to be a substrate for the biosynthesis of purpurogallin. In this study, we designed a pathway to produce purpurogallin from 3-MC. We first characterized four bacterial laccases and identified the laccase CueO from Escherichia coli, which converts pyrogallol to purpurogallin. Then, we used CueO and the P450 GcoAB reported to convert 3-MC to pyrogallol, to construct a method for producing purpurogallin directly from 3-MC. A total of 0.21 ± 0.05 mM purpurogallin was produced from 5 mM 3-MC by whole-cell conversion. This study provides a new method to enable efficient and sustainable synthesis of purpurogallin and offers new insights into lignin valorization. KEY POINTS: • Screening four bacterial laccases for converting pyrogallol to purpurogallin. • Laccase CueO from Escherichia coli presenting the activity for purpurogallin yield. • A novel pathway for converting lignin-derived 3-methoxycatechol to purpurogallin.

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
Apple pomace, potato peels, and coffee silverskin are attractive agrofood wastes for the production of biofuels and chemicals, due to their abundance and carbohydrate content. As lignocellulosic biomasses, their conversion is challenged by the presence of lignin that prevents hydrolysis of polysaccharides, hence demanding a pretreatment step. In this work, the effectiveness of Pleurotus ostreatus laccases (with and without mediator) to remove lignin, improving the subsequent saccharification, was assessed. Optimized conditions for sequential protocol were set up for all agrofood wastes reaching delignification and detoxification yields correlated with high saccharification. Especially noteworthy were results for apple pomace and coffee silverskin for which 83% of and 73% saccharification yields were observed, by using laccase and laccase mediator system, respectively. The herein developed sequential protocol, saving soluble sugars and reducing the amount of wastewater, can improve the overall process for obtaining chemicals or fuels from agrofood wastes.

Abstract
The white-rot fungus Cerrena unicolor BBP6 produced up to 243.4 U mL-1 laccase. A novel laccase isoform LacA was purified; LacA is a homodimer with an apparent molecular mass of 55 kDa and an isoelectric point of 4.7. Its optimal pH was 2.5, 4.0, and 5.5 when 2, 2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS), guaiacol, and 2, 6-dimethoxyphenol (2, 6-DMP) were used as the substrates, respectively. The optimal temperature was 60°C for ABTS and 80°C for both guaiacol and 2, 6-DMP. LacA retained 82-92% activity when pH was greater than 4 and 42%-92% activity at or below 50°C. LacA was completely inhibited by 0.1 mM L-cysteine, 1 mM Dithiothreitol, and 10 mM metal ions, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Co2+. LacA had good affinity for ABTS, with a Km of 49.1 μM and a kcat of 3078.9 s-1. It decolorized synthetic dyes at 32.3-87.1%. In the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), LacA decolorized recalcitrant dyes such as Safranine (97.1%), Methylene Blue (98.9%), Azure Blue (96.6%) and simulated textile effluent (84.6%). With supplemented manganese peroxidase (MnP), Mn2+ and HBT, the purified LacA and BBP6 fermentation broth showed great potential in denim bleaching, with an up to 5-fold increase in reflectance values.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases which oxidize a wide variety of aromatic compounds with the concomitant reduction of oxygen to water as by-product. Due to their high stability and biochemical versatility, laccases are key enzymes to be used as eco-friendly biocatalyst in biotechnological applications. The presence of copper paramagnetic species in the catalytic site paired with the substrate radical species produced in the catalytic cycle makes laccases particularly attractive to be studied by spectroscopic approaches. In this review, the potentiality of a combined multifrequency electron paramagnetic spectroscopy /computational approach to gain information on the nature of the catalytic site and radical species is presented. The knowledge at molecular level of the enzyme oxidative process can be of great help to model new enzymes with increased efficiency and robustness.

Abstract
Laccase-like proteins are multicopper oxidases involved in several biological and industrial processes. Their application is commonly limited due to inhibition by fluoride and chloride, and as-isolated proteins are often substantially activated by heat, suggesting that multiple redox states can complicate characterization. Understanding these processes at the molecular level is thus desirable but theoretically unexplored. This paper reports systematic calculations of geometries, reorganization energies, and ionization energies for all partly oxidized states of the trinuclear copper clusters in realistic models with ∼200 atoms. Corrections for scalar-relativistic effects, dispersion, and thermal effects were estimated. Fluoride, chloride, hydroxide, or water was bound to the T2 copper site of the oxidized resting state, and the peroxo intermediate was also computed for reference. Antiferromagnetic coupling, assigned oxidation states, and general structures were consistent with known spectroscopic data. The computations show that (i) ligands bound to the T2 site substantially increase the reorganization energy of the second reduction of the resting state and reduce the redox potentials, providing a possible mechanism for inhibition; (ii) the reorganization energy is particularly large for F(-) but also high for Cl(-), consistent with the experimental tendency of inhibition; (iii) reduction leads to release of Cl(-) from the T2 site, suggesting a mechanism for heat/reduction activation of laccases by dissociation of inhibiting halides or hydroxide from T2.

Abstract
Since the first report on a laccase, there has been a notable development in the interest towards this class of enzymes, highlighted from the number of scientific papers and patents about them. At the same time, interest in exploiting laccases-mainly high redox potential-for various functions has been growing exponentially over the last 10 years. Despite decades of work, the molecular determinants of the redox potential are far to be fully understood. For this reason, interest in tuning laccase redox potential to provide more efficient catalysts has been growing since the last years. The work herein described takes advantage of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger as host for the heterologous production of the high redox potential laccase POXA1b from Pleurotus ostreatus and of one of its in vitro selected variants (1H6C). The system herein developed allowed to obtain a production level of 35,000 U/L (583.3 μkat/L) for POXA1b and 60,000 U/L (1,000 μkat/L) for 1H6C, corresponding to 13 and 20 mg/L for POXA1b and 1H6C, respectively. The characterised proteins exhibit very similar characteristics, with some exceptions regarding catalytic behaviour, stability and spectro-electrochemical properties. Remarkably, the 1H6C variant shows a higher redox potential with respect to POXA1b. Furthermore, the spectro-electrochemical results obtained for 1H6C make it tempting to claim that we spectro-electrochemically determined the redox potential of the 1H6C T2 site, which has not been studied in any detail by spectro-electrochemistry yet.

Abstract
A recent computational protocol that accurately predicts and rationalizes protein multisite mutant stabilities has been extended to handle widely different isoforms of laccases. We apply the protocol to four isoenzymes of Trametes versicolor laccase (TvL) with variable lengths (498-503 residues) and thermostability (Topt ∼ 45-80 °C) and with 67-77% sequence identity. The extended protocol uses (i) statistical averaging, (ii) a molecular-dynamics-validated "compromise" homology model to minimize bias that causes proteins close in sequence to a structural template to be too stable due to having the benefits of the better sampled template (typically from a crystal structure), (iii) correction for hysteresis that favors the input template to overdestabilize, and (iv) a preparative protocol to provide robust input sequences of equal length. The computed ΔΔG values are in good agreement with the major trends in experimental stabilities; that is, the approach may be applicable for fast estimates of the relative stabilities of proteins with as little as 70% identity, something that is currently extremely challenging. The computed stability changes associated with variations are Gaussian-distributed, in good agreement with experimental distributions of stability effects from mutation. The residues causing the differential stability of the four isoforms are consistent with a range of compiled laccase wild type data, suggesting that we may have identified general drivers of laccase stability. Several sites near Cu, notably 79, 241, and 245, or near substrate, mainly 265, are identified that contribute to stability-function trade-offs, of relevance to the search for new proficient and stable variants of these important industrial enzymes.

Abstract
Laccases are oxidative enzymes linked to biological degradation of lignin. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of inducers and different concentrations of nitrogen on production level of total laccase activity and pattern of laccase isoforms, produced in solid state fermentation of sugarcane bagasse by a selected strain of Pleurotus ostreatus. The addition of yeast extract 5 g/L, copper sulfate 150 μM and ferulic acid 2 mM provided highest enzymatic activity (167 U/g) and zymograms indicated the presence of six laccase isoforms (POXA1b, POXA3, POXC and three other isoforms). Results of protein identification by mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of POXC and POXA3 as the main isoenzymes, and also identified a glyoxal oxidase and three galactose oxidases. The fact that the isoenzyme POXA1b was not identified in the analyzed samples can be possibly explained by its sensitivity to protease degradation.
