Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134108. [PMID: 39048010 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The escalating threat of malachite green (MG) pollution poses significant risks to ecosystems. Saturation mutation targeting Tyr230 of small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor yielded Y230R, exhibiting a remarkable 104 % increase in specific activity. Notably, this mutation achieved dual enhancements in both activity and pH stability. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed higher structural stability of Y230R compared to wild-type (WT) across varying pH levels. The increased count of hydrogen bonds in Y230R compared to WT may be contribute to its stability. Y230R demonstrated superior catalytic efficiency (67.0 %) in MG decolorization, maintaining over 90 % activity after 30 min incubation in MG solution (500 mg/L), highlighting enhanced tolerance compared to WT. Molecular docking analysis attributed the differential catalytic effects on MG and ABTS to structural disparities and hydrogen bonding. Y230R stands as a promising composite mutant for future laccase engineering and industrial applications.

Abstract
Laccases are multi-copper oxidases that are usually composed of three Cu-oxidase domains. Domains one and three house the copper binding sites, and the second domain is involved in forming a substrate-binding cleft. However, Streptomyces species are found to have small laccases (SLAC) that lack one of the three Cu-oxidase domains. This type of SLAC with interesting lignocellulose bioconversion activities has not been reported in Aspergillus niger. In our research, we explored the expression and engineering of the SLAC from Streptomyces leeuwenhoekii C34 in A. niger. Genes encoding two versions of the SLAC were expressed. One encoding the SLAC in its native form and a second encoding the SLAC fused to two N-terminal CBM1 domains. The latter is a configuration also known for specific yeast laccases. Both SLAC variants were functionally expressed in A. niger as shown by in vitro activity assays and proteome analysis. Laccase activity was also analyzed toward bioconversion of lignocellulosic rice straw. From this analysis it was clear that the SLAC activity improved the efficiency of saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass by cellulase enzyme cocktails.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) poses a formidable threat to ecosystems and human health. Laccase emerges as a promising candidate for MG degradation, prompting an investigation into the catalytic activity modulation of a small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor, with a focus on amino acid position 228. Through saturation mutagenesis, five mutants with a 50% increase in the specific activity were generated. Characterization revealed notable properties, Km of E228F was 8.8% of the wild type (WT), and E288T exhibited a 133% kcat compared to WT. Structural analyses indicated improved hydrophobicity and electrostatic potential on the mutants' surfaces, with the stable E228F-ABTS complex exhibiting reduced flexibility, possibly contributing to the observed decrease in turnover rate. Mutants demonstrated enhanced MG decolorization, particularly E228G. Site 228 acts as a crucial functional control switch, suggesting its potential role in SLAC engineering. This study provides insights into laccase modulation and offers promising avenues for enzymatic bioremediation applications.

In Silico Insights into the Arsenic Binding Mechanism Deploying Application of Computational Biology-Based Toolsets. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7529-7544.

Abstract
An assortment of environmental matrices includes arsenic (As) in its different oxidation states, which is often linked to concerns that pose a threat to public health worldwide. The current difficulty lies in addressing toxicological concerns and achieving sustained detoxification of As. Multiple conventional degradation methods are accessible; however, they are indeed labor-intensive, expensive, and reliant on prolonged laboratory evaluations. Molecular interaction and atomic level degradation mechanisms for enzyme-As exploration are, however, underexplored in those approaches. A feasible approach in this case for tackling this accompanying concern of As might be to cope with undertaking multivalent computational methodologies and tools. This work aimed to provide molecular-level insight into the enzyme-aided As degradation mechanism. AutoDock Vina, CABS-flex 2.0, and Desmond high-performance molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) were utilized in the current investigation to simulate multivalent molecular processes on two protein sets: arsenate reductase (ArsC) and laccase (LAC) corresponding arsenate (ART) and arsenite (AST), which served as model ligands to comprehend binding, conformational, and energy attributes. The structural configurations of both proteins exhibited variability in flexibility and structure framework within the range of 3.5-4.5 Å. The LAC-ART complex exhibited the lowest calculated binding affinity, measuring -5.82 ± 0.01 kcal/mol. Meanwhile, active site residues ILE-200 and HIS-206 were demonstrated to engage in H-bonding with the ART ligand. In contrast to ArsC, the ligand binding affinity of this bound complex was considerably greater. Additional validation of docked complexes was carried out by deploying Desmond MDS of 100 ns to capture protein and ligand conformation behavior. The system achieved stability during the 100 ns simulation run, as confirmed by the average P-L RMSD, which was ∼1 Å. As a preliminary test of the enzyme's ability to catalyze As species, corresponding computational insights might be advantageous for bridging gaps and regulatory consideration.

Increasing Reduction Potentials of Type 1 Copper Center and Catalytic Efficiency of Small Laccase from Streptomyces coelicolor through Secondary Coordination Sphere Mutations. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202314019. [PMID: 37926680 PMCID: PMC10842694 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202314019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
The key to type 1 copper (T1Cu) function lies in the fine tuning of the CuII/I reduction potential (E°'T1Cu ) to match those of its redox partners, enabling efficient electron transfer in a wide range of biological systems. While the secondary coordination sphere (SCS) effects have been used to tune E°'T1Cu in azurin over a wide range, these principles are yet to be generalized to other T1Cu-containing proteins to tune catalytic properties. To this end, we have examined the effects of Y229F, V290N and S292F mutations around the T1Cu of small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor to match the high E°'T1Cu of fungal laccases. Using ultraviolet-visible absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies, together with X-ray crystallography and redox titrations, we have probed the influence of SCS mutations on the T1Cu and corresponding E°'T1Cu . While minimal and small E°'T1Cu increases are observed in Y229F- and S292F-SLAC, the V290N mutant exhibits a major E°'T1Cu increase. Moreover, the influence of these mutations on E°'T1Cu is additive, culminating in a triple mutant Y229F/V290N/S292F-SLAC with the highest E°'T1Cu of 556 mV vs. SHE reported to date. Further activity assays indicate that all mutants retain oxygen reduction reaction activity, and display improved catalytic efficiencies (kcat /KM ) relative to WT-SLAC.

Abstract
Laccases are widespread multi-copper oxidases and generally classified into three-domain laccases and two-domain laccases. In this study, a novel laccase PthLac from Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius harbored only one domain of Cu-oxidase_4 and showed no sequence relatedness or structure similarity to three-domain and two-domain laccases. PthLac was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. The optimum temperature and pH of PthLac on guaiacol were at 60 ℃ and pH 6, respectively. The effects of various metal ions on PthLac were analyzed. All the tested metal ions did not suppress the activity of PthLac, except for 10 mM Cu2+, which increased the activity of PthLac to 316%, indicating that PthLac was activated by Cu2+. Meanwhile, PthLac kept 121% and 69% activity when incubated at concentrations of 2.5 and 3 M NaCl for 9 h, suggesting the long-term halotolerancy of this enzyme. In addition, PthLac showed resistance to the organic solvents and surfactants, and displayed dye decolorization capacity. This study enriched our knowledge about one-domain laccase and its potential industrial applications.

Abstract
An understanding of structure-function relationships in proteins is essential for modern biochemical studies. The integration of common freely accessible bioinformatics tools available online with the knowledge of protein-engineering tools provide a fundamental understanding of the application of protein structure-function for biochemical research. In order for students to apply their prior knowledge of recombinant protein technology into the understanding of protein structure-function relationships, we developed a semester-long project-oriented biochemistry laboratory experience that is the second laboratory course of a series. For easier integration of knowledge and application, we organized this course into four sequential modules: protein structure visualization/modification, mutagenesis target identification, site-directed mutagenesis, and mutant protein expression, purification, and characterization. These tasks were performed on the protein small laccase (SLAC) that was cloned and characterized by students in the previous semester during the first biochemistry laboratory course of the series. This goal-oriented project-based approach helped students apply their prior knowledge to newly introduced techniques to understand protein structure-function relationships in this research-like laboratory setting. A student assessment before and after the course demonstrated an overall increase in learning and enthusiasm for this topic.

Abstract
Laccases are industrially relevant enzymes. However, their range of applications is limited by their functioning and stability. Most of the currently known laccases function in acidic conditions at temperatures below 60 °C, but two-domain laccases (2D) oxidize some substrates in alkaline conditions and above 70 °C. In this study, we aim to establish the structural factors affecting the alkaline activity of the 2D laccase from Streptomyces griseoflavus (SgfSL). The range of methods used allowed us to show that the alkaline activity of SgfSL is influenced by the polar residues located close to the trinuclear center (TNC). Structural and functional studies of the SgfSL mutants Met199Ala/Asp268Asn and Met199Gly/Asp268Asn revealed that the substitution Asp268Asn (11 Å from the TNC) affects the orientation of the Asn261 (the second coordination sphere of the TNC), resulting in hydrogen-bond-network reorganization, which leads to a change in the SgfSL-activity pH profile. The combination of the Met199Gly/Arg240His and Asp268Asn substitutions increased the efficiency (kcat/KM) of the 2,6-DMP oxidation by 34-fold compared with the SgfSL. Our results extend the knowledge about the structure and functioning of 2D laccases' TNC active sites and open up new possibilities for the directed engineering of laccases.

Abstract
Lignin modifying enzymes (LMEs) have gained widespread recognition in depolymerization of lignin polymers by oxidative cleavage. LMEs are a robust class of biocatalysts that include lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), versatile peroxidase (VP), laccase (LAC), and dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP). Members of the LMEs family act on phenolic, non-phenolic substrates and have been widely researched for valorization of lignin, oxidative cleavage of xenobiotics and phenolics. LMEs implementation in the biotechnological and industrial sectors has sparked significant attention, although its potential future applications remain underexploited. To understand the mechanism of LMEs in sustainable pollution mitigation, several studies have been undertaken to assess the feasibility of LMEs in correlating to diverse pollutants for binding and intermolecular interactions at the molecular level. However, further investigation is required to fully comprehend the underlying mechanism. In this review we presented the key structural and functional features of LMEs, including the computational aspects, as well as the advanced applications in biotechnology and industrial research. Furthermore, concluding remarks and a look ahead, the use of LMEs coupled with computational frameworks, built upon artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), has been emphasized as a recent milestone in environmental research.

Abstract
Lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) are impactful biocatalysts in environmental remediation applications. However, LMEs-assisted experimental degradation neglects the molecular basis of pollutant degradation. Furthermore, throughout the remediation process, the inherent hazards of environmental pollutants remain untapped for in-depth toxicological endpoints. In this investigation, a predictive toxicological framework and a computational framework adopting LMEs were employed to assess the hazards of Priority Pollutants (PP) and its possible LMEs-assisted catalytic screening. The potential hazardous outcomes of PP were assessed using Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSARs)-based techniques including Toxtree, ECOSAR, and T.E.S.T. tools. Toxicological findings revealed positive outcomes in a multitude of endpoints for all PP. The PP compound 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin) was found to exhibit the lowest concentration of aquatic toxicity implementing aquatic model systems; LC50 as 0.01, 0.01, 0.04 (mg L-1) for Fish (96 H), Daphnid (48 H), Green algae (96 H) respectively. T.E.S.T. results revealed that chloroform, and 2-chlorophenol both seem to be developmental toxicants. Subsequently, LMEs-assisted docking procedure was employed in predictive mitigation of PP. The docking approach as predicted degradation revealed the far lowest docking energy score for Versatile peroxidase (VP)- 2,3,7,8-TCDD docked complex with a binding energy of -9.2 (kcal mol-1), involved PHE-46, PRO-139, PRO-141, ILE-148, LEU-165, HIS-169, LEU-228, MET-262, and MET-265 as key interacting amino acid residues. Second most ranked but lesser than VP, Lignin peroxidase (LiP)- 2,3,7,8-TCDD docked complex exhibited a rather lower binding affinity score (-8.8 kcal mol-1). Predictive degradation screening employing comparative docking revealed varying binding affinities, portraying that each LMEs member has independent feasibility to bind PP as substrate. Predictive findings endorsed the hazardous nature of associated PP in a multitude of endpoints, which could be attenuated by undertaking LMEs as a predictive approach to protect the environment and implement it in regulatory considerations.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in metropolitan cities and rise in industrialization have resulted in the assimilation of hazardous pollutants into the ecosystems. Different physical, chemical and biological techniques have been employed to remove these toxins from water bodies. Several bioprocess applications using microbes and their enzymes are utilized to achieve the goal. Biocatalysts, such as laccases, are employed explicitly to deplete a variety of organic pollutants. However, the degradation of contaminants using biocatalysts has many disadvantages concerning the stability and activity of the enzyme. Hence, they are immobilized on different supports to improve the enzyme kinetics and recyclability. Furthermore, standard wastewater treatment methods are not effective in eliminating all the contaminants. As a result, membrane separation technologies have emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional wastewater treatment methods. Moreover, enzymes immobilized onto these membranes have generated new avenues in wastewater purification technology. This review provides the latest information on laccases from diverse sources, their molecular framework and their mode of action. This report also gives information about various immobilization techniques and the application of membrane bioreactors to eliminate and biotransform hazardous contaminants. In a nutshell, laccases appear to be the most promising biocatalysts for green and cost-efficient wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
The thermodynamic and kinetic properties for heterogeneous electron transfer (ET) were measured for the electrode-immobilized small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor subjected to different electrostatic and covalent protein-electrode linkages, using cyclic voltammetry. Once immobilized electrostatically onto a gold electrode using mixed carboxyl- and hydroxy-terminated alkane-thiolate SAMs or covalently exploiting the same SAM subjected to N-hydroxysuccinimide+1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (NHS-EDC) chemistry, the SLAC-electrode electron flow occurs through the T1 center. The E°' values (from +0.2 to +0.1 V vs. SHE at pH 7.0) are lower by more than 0.2 V compared to the protein either in solution or immobilized with different anchoring strategies using uncharged SAMs. For the present electrostatic and covalent binding, this effect can, respectively, be ascribed to the negative charge of the SAM surfaces and to deletion of the positive charge of Lys/Arg residues due to amide bond formation which both selectively stabilize the more positively charged oxidized SLAC. Observation of enthalpy/entropy compensation within the series indicates that the immobilized proteins experience different reduction-induced solvent reorganization effects. The E°' values for the covalently attached SLAC are sensitive to three acid base equilibria, with apparent pKa values of pKa1ox = 5.1, pKa1red = 7.5, pKa2ox = 8.4, pKa2red = 10.9, pKa2ox = 8.9, pKa2red = 11.3 possibly involving one residue close to the T1 center and two residues (Lys and/or Arg) along with moderate protein unfolding, respectively. Therefore, the E°' value of immobilized SLAC turns out to be particularly sensitive to the anchoring mode and medium conditions.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are commonly designed with protein scaffolds containing buried coordination pockets to achieve substrate specificity and product selectivity for homogeneous reactions. However, their reactivities toward heterogeneous transformations are limited because interfacial electron transfers are hampered by the backbone shells. Here, we introduce bacterial small laccase (SLAC) as a new protein scaffold for constructing ArMs to directly catalyze electrochemical transformations. We use molecular dynamics simulation, x-ray crystallography, spectroscopy, and computation to illustrate the scaffold-directed assembly of an oxo-bridged dicobalt motif on protein surface. The resulting ArM in aqueous phase catalyzes electrochemical water oxidation without mediators or electrode modifications. Mechanistic investigation reveals the role of SLAC scaffold in defining the four-electron transfer pathway from water to oxygen. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SLAC-based ArMs implemented with Ni2+, Mn2+, Ru3+, Pd2+, or Ir3+ also enable direct bioelectrocatalysis of water electrolysis. Our study provides a versatile and generalizable route to complement heterogeneous repertoire of ArMs for expanded applications.

Abstract
We have investigated the roles of tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) residues in the four-electron reduction of oxygen catalyzed by Streptomyces coelicolor laccase (SLAC). During normal enzymatic turnover in laccases, reducing equivalents are delivered to a type 1 Cu center (CuT1) and then are transferred over 13 Å to a trinuclear Cu site (TNC: (CuT3)2CuT2) where O2 reduction occurs. The TNC in SLAC is surrounded by a large cluster of Tyr and Trp residues that can provide reducing equivalents when the normal flow of electrons is disrupted. Prior studies by Canters and co-workers [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131 (33), 11680-11682] have shown that when O2 reacts with a reduced SLAC variant lacking the CuT1 center, a Tyr108• radical near the TNC forms rapidly. We have found that the Tyr108• radical is reduced 10 times faster than CuT12+ by excess ascorbate, possibly because of radical transfer along Tyr/Trp chains.

Abstract
Many industrial processes operate at elevated temperatures or within broad pH and salinity ranges. However, the utilization of enzymes to carry out biocatalysis in such processes is often impractical or even impossible. Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2), which constitute a large family of multicopper oxidases, have long been used in the industrial setting. Although fungal laccases are in many respects considered superior to their bacterial counterparts, the bacterial laccases have been receiving greater attention recently. Albeit lower in redox potential than fungal laccases, bacterial laccases are commonly thermally more stable, act within broader pH ranges, do not contain posttranslational modifications, and could therefore serve as a high potential scaffold for directed evolution for the production of enzymes with enhanced properties. Several examples focusing on the axial ligand mutations of the T1 copper site have been published in the past. However, structural evidence on the local and global changes induced by those mutations have thus far been of computational nature only. In this study, we set out to structurally and kinetically characterize a few of the most commonly reported axial ligand mutations of a bacterial small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor. While one of the mutations (Met to Leu) equips the enzyme with better thermal stability, the other (Met to Phe) induces an opposite effect. These mutations cause local structural rearrangement of the T1 site as demonstrated by X-ray crystallography. Our analysis confirms past findings that for SLACs, single point mutations that change the identity of the axial ligand of the T1 copper are not enough to provide a substantial increase in the catalytic efficiency but can in some cases have a detrimental effect on the enzyme's thermal stability parameters instead.

Abstract
The metabolism of polyphenolic polymers is essential to the development and response to environmental changes of organisms from all kingdoms of life, but shows particular diversity in plants. In contrast to other biopolymers, whose polymerisation is catalysed by homologous gene families, polyphenolic metabolism depends on phenoloxidases, a group of heterogeneous oxidases that share little beyond the eponymous common substrate. In this review, we provide an overview of the differences and similarities between phenoloxidases in their protein structure, reaction mechanism, substrate specificity, and functional roles. Using the example of laccases (LACs), we also performed a meta-analysis of enzyme kinetics, a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis and machine-learning based protein structure modelling to link functions, evolution, and structures in this group of phenoloxidases. With these approaches, we generated a framework to explain the reported functional differences between paralogs, while also hinting at the likely diversity of yet undescribed LAC functions. Altogether, this review provides a basis to better understand the functional overlaps and specificities between and within the three major families of phenoloxidases, their evolutionary trajectories, and their importance for plant primary and secondary metabolism.

Abstract
The overuse of tetracycline results in a threat to human, poultry and livestock health. An enzymatic electrochemical biosensor is an ideal alternative method for accurate and rapid tetracycline detection, while the unstable and easily deactivated nature of the enzyme limits its development. To overcome these limitations, a highly sensitive enzymatic electrochemical biosensor for the determination of tetracycline is developed in this work based on a complex enzyme which was constructed using a mesoporous carbon sphere@UiO-66-NH2 (MCS@UiO-66-NH2) core-shell composite with embedded laccase (Lac). Compared to pure MCS and UiO-66-NH2, the MCS@UiO-66-NH2 core-shell composite has an advantageous mesoporous structure (pore diameter >8 nm), which is suitable for the immobilization of small laccase. The biosensor based on the complex enzyme exhibits a superior activity and enhanced stability as compared with that made using a pure enzyme because the mesoporous structure of the MCS@UiO-66-NH2 composite can effectively protect the laccase against inactivation and denaturation. Besides, its high specific surface area and good conductivity are beneficial to enzyme immobilization and electron transfer in the modified electrode. The biosensor based on this complex enzyme exhibits a relatively low detection limit of 8.94 × 10-7 mol L-1 and a detection range of 1.0 × 10-6-6.0 × 10-5 mol L-1 for tetracycline detection. Furthermore, the developed biosensor possesses good long-term stability, selectivity and reproducibility, indicating its potential application for tetracycline determination in actual food. This research work provides a prospective solution to resolve the stability and inactivation problems of enzymatic electrochemical biosensors in different application scenarios.

Abstract
The enzyme laccase catalyzes the reduction of dioxygen to water at the trinuclear copper center (TNC). The TNC comprises a type‐3 (T3) and a type‐2 (T2) copper site. The paramagnetic NMR spectrum of the small laccase from Streptomyces coelicolor (SLAC) without the substrate shows a mixture of two catalytic states, the resting oxidized (RO) state and the native intermediate (NI) state. An analysis of the resonances of the RO state is reported. In this state, hydrogen resonances only of the T3 copper ligands can be found, in the region of 12–22 ppm. Signals from all six histidine ligands are found and can be attributed to Hδ1, Hβ or backbone amide HN nuclei. Two sequence‐specific assignments are proposed on the basis of a second‐coordination shell variant that also lacks the copper ion at the T1 site, SLAC−T1D/Q291E. This double mutant is found to be exclusively in the RO state, revealing a subtle balance between the RO and the NI states.

Abstract
Laccases efficiently reduce dioxygen to water in an active site containing a tri-nuclear copper centre (TNC). The dynamics of the protein matrix is a determining factor in the efficiency in catalysis. To probe mobility, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is highly suitable. However, several factors complicate the assignment of resonances to active site nuclei in laccases. The paramagnetic nature causes large shifts and line broadening. Furthermore, the presence of slow chemical exchange processes of the imidazole rings of copper ligand results in peak doubling. A third complicating factor is that the enzyme occurs in two states, the native intermediate (NI) and resting oxidized (RO) states, with different paramagnetic properties. The present study aims at resolving the complex paramagnetic NMR spectra of the TNC of Streptomyces coelicolor small laccase (SLAC). With a combination of paramagnetically tailored NMR experiments, all eight His Nδ 1 and Hδ 1 resonances for the NI state are identified, as well as His Hβ protons for the RO state. With the help of second-shell mutagenesis, selective resonances are tentatively assigned to the histidine ligands of the copper in the type-2 site. This study demonstrates the utility of the approaches used for the sequence-specific assignment of the paramagnetic NMR spectra of ligands in the TNC that ultimately may lead to a description of the underlying motion.

Abstract
Efficient biotransformation of lignin requires the activity of different oxidative enzymes. In this work, 19 bacterial multi-copper oxidases were screened for oxidase activity against 19 soluble substrates and revealed the highest activity in the laccase CotABsu (BSU0630) from Bacillus subtilis. Structure-based site-directed mutagenesis of CotABsu identified four conserved residues (His419, Cys492, His497, and Met502) as critical for activity against 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). Greatly reduced oxidase activity was found in the CotABsu mutant proteins E213A, N214A, C229A, N264A, E298A, T415A, R416A, Q468A, and T480A. We also designed a lignin-agarose plate screen for detecting oxidase activity of purified proteins against polymeric lignin, which confirmed the results obtained with ABTS and identified three mutant variants with increased activity toward kraft lignin (E213A, T415A, and T260A). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of low sulfonate kraft lignin after incubation with CotABsu revealed a reduction in the content of CC/CC bonds and increase in CO/CO bonds. Product analyses using mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, and bright-field microscopy revealed an increased polymerization state of reaction products suggesting that formation of radical intermediates was followed by radical coupling. Our results provide further insights into the mechanisms of lignin oxidation by laccases.

Transformation of low molecular compounds and soil humic acid by two domain laccase of Streptomyces puniceus in the presence of ferulic and caffeic acids. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0239005. [PMID: 32946485 PMCID: PMC7500650 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0239005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The two-domain bacterial laccases oxidize substrates at alkaline pH. The role of natural phenolic compounds in the oxidation of substrates by the enzyme is poorly understood. We have studied the role of ferulic and caffeic acids in the transformation of low molecular weight substrates and of soil humic acid (HA) by two-domain laccase of Streptomyces puniceus (SpSL, previously undescribed). A gene encoding a two-domain laccase was cloned from S. puniceus and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography to an electrophoretically homogeneous state. The enzyme showed high thermal stability, alkaline pH optimum for the oxidation of phenolic substrates and an acidic pH optimum for the oxidation of K4[Fe(CN)6] (potassium ferrocyanide) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt). Phenolic compounds were oxidized with lower efficiency than K4[Fe(CN)6] and ABTS. The SpSL did not oxidize 3.4-dimethoxybenzoic alcohol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid neither in the absence of phenolic acids nor in their presence. The enzyme polymerized HA-the amount of its high molecular weight fraction (>80 kDa) increased at the expense of low MW fraction (10 kDa). The addition of phenolic acids as potential mediators did not cause the destruction of HA by SpSL. In the absence of the HA, the enzyme polymerized caffeic and ferulic acids to macromolecular fractions (>80 kDa and 10-12 kDa). The interaction of SpSL with HA in the presence of phenolic acids caused an increase in the amount of HA high MW fraction and a two-fold increase in the molecular weight of its low MW fraction (from 10 to 20 kDa), suggesting a cross-coupling reaction. Infrared and solution-state 1H-NMR spectroscopy revealed an increase in the aromaticity of HA after its interaction with phenolic acids. The results of the study expand our knowledge on the transformation of natural substrates by two-domain bacterial laccases and indicate a potentially important role of the enzyme in the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) at alkaline pH values.

Abstract
The trinuclear copper center (TNC) of laccase reduces oxygen to water with very little overpotential. The arrangement of the coppers and ligands in the TNC is known to be from many crystal structures, yet information about possible dynamics of the ligands is absent. Here, we report dynamics at the TNC of small laccase from Streptomyces coelicolor using paramagnetic NMR and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Fermi contact-shifted resonances tentatively assigned to histidine Hδ1 display a two-state chemical exchange with exchange rates in the order of 100 s−1. In the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, at least two forms are observed with different gz-values. It is proposed that the exchange processes reflect the rotational motion of histidine imidazole rings that coordinate the coppers in the TNC.

The genome of opportunistic fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum carries a unique set of lineage-specific chromosomes. Commun Biol 2020; 3:50.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum is a cross-kingdom fungal pathogen that infects plants and humans. Horizontally transferred lineage-specific (LS) chromosomes were reported to determine host-specific pathogenicity among phytopathogenic F. oxysporum. However, the existence and functional importance of LS chromosomes among human pathogenic isolates are unknown. Here we report four unique LS chromosomes in a human pathogenic strain NRRL 32931, isolated from a leukemia patient. These LS chromosomes were devoid of housekeeping genes, but were significantly enriched in genes encoding metal ion transporters and cation transporters. Homologs of NRRL 32931 LS genes, including a homolog of ceruloplasmin and the genes that contribute to the expansion of the alkaline pH-responsive transcription factor PacC/Rim1p, were also present in the genome of NRRL 47514, a strain associated with Fusarium keratitis outbreak. This study provides the first evidence, to our knowledge, for genomic compartmentalization in two human pathogenic fungal genomes and suggests an important role of LS chromosomes in niche adaptation. Zhang, Yang et al. compare a Fusarium oxysporum isolate obtained clinically to a phytopathogenic strain to examine transfer of lineage-specific chromosomes in determining host specificity. They find four unique lineage-specific chromosomes that seem to contribute to fungal adaptation to human hosts.

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
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing enzymes capable of oxidizing crystalline cellulose which have large practical application in the process of refining biomass. The catalytic mechanism of LPMOs still remains debated despite several proposed reaction mechanisms. Here, we report a long-lived intermediate (t1/2 =6-8 minutes) observed in an LPMO from Thermoascus aurantiacus (TaLPMO9A). The intermediate with a strong absorption around 420 nm is formed when reduced LPMO-CuI reacts with sub-equimolar amounts of H2 O2 . UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, resonance Raman and stopped-flow spectroscopy suggest that the observed long-lived intermediate involves the copper center and a nearby tyrosine (Tyr175). Additionally, activity assays in the presence of sub-equimolar amounts of H2 O2 showed an increase in the LPMO oxidation of phosphoric acid swollen cellulose. Accordingly, this suggests that the long-lived copper-dependent intermediate could be part of the catalytic mechanism for LPMOs. The observed intermediate offers a new perspective into the oxidative reaction mechanism of TaLPMO9A and hence for the biomass oxidation and the reactivity of copper in biological systems.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper enzymes that catalyze oxidation of electron-rich substrates coupled to reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Since the Type 1 copper (T1 Cu) is the site where electrons are withdrawn from the substrate, it is assumed that the reduction potential of this copper correlates with enzyme activity. Herein, we studied the correlation of the T1 Cu reduction potential and the enzymatic activity of the small two-domain laccase Ssl1 from Streptomyces sviceus. For a systematic approach, we aimed to minimize any effects other than the reduction potential difference. To this end, we constructed a series of Ssl1 mutants with reduction potentials varying from <290 to 560 mV. Along with the hydrophobicity of the axial ligand of the T1 Cu also structural changes in the substrate binding site and additional hydrogen bonding increased the reduction potential. Enzyme activity experiments demonstrated that the T1 Cu reduction potential has a different effect on oxidation of different substrates. Whereas there was no obvious correlation between the T1 Cu reduction potential and kinetic parameters for the oxidation of syringaldazine (with a reduction potential of 390 mV), a good correlation was observed between the T1 Cu reduction potential and the conversion of substituted phenols with reduction potentials between 660 and 820 mV. This correlation was pronounced for the Ssl1 variants with reduction potentials above 470 mV, which demonstrated increased activities also during the oxidation of two dyes, alizarin red S and indigo carmine.

Abstract
Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are multicopper oxidoreductases acting on diphenols and related substances. Laccases are highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. These enzymes contain mononuclear one T2 copper ion and two T3 copper ions (Cu3α and Cu3β), which form the so-called trinuclear center (TNC). Along with the typical three-domain laccases Bacteria produce two-domain (2D) enzymes, which are active at neutral and basic pH, thermostable, and resistant to inhibitors. In this work we present the comparative analysis of crystal structures and catalytic properties of recombinant 2D laccase from Streptomyces griseoflavus Ac-993 (SgfSL) and its four mutant forms with replacements of two amino acid residues, located at the narrowing of the presumable T3-solvent tunnels. We obtained inactive enzymes with substitutions of His165, with Phe, and Ile170 with Ala or Phe. His165Ala variant was more active than the wild type. We suggest that His165 is a “gateway” at the O2-tunnel leading from solvent to the Cu3β of the enzyme. The side chain of Ile170 could be indirectly involved in the coordination of copper ions at the T3 center by maintaining the position of the imidazole ring of His157 that belongs to the first coordination sphere of Cu3α.

Abstract
Natural water sources are very often contaminated by municipal wastewater discharges which contain either of xenobiotic pollutants and their sometimes more toxic degradation products, or both, which frustrates the universal millenium development goal of provision of the relatively scarce pristine freshwater to water-scarce and -stressed communities, in order to augment their socioeconomic well-being. Seeing that both regulatory measures, as regards the discharge limits of wastewater, and the query for efficient treatment methods remain unanswered, partially, the prospects of enzymatic treatment of wastewater is advisable. Therefore, a reconsideration was assigned to the possible capacity of oxidative enzymes and the respective challenges encountered during their applications in wastewater treatment, and ultimately, the prospects of laccase, a polyphenol oxidase that oxidizes aromatic and inorganic substrates with electron-donating groups in treatment aromatic contaminants of wastewater, in real wastewater situations, since it is assumed to be a vehicle for a greener community. Furthermore, the importance of laccase-driven catalysis toward maintaining mass-energy balance, hence minimizing environmental waste, was comprehensibly elucidated, as well the strategic positioning of laccase in a model wastewater treatment facility for effective treatment of wastewater contaminants.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a pervasive family of enzymes that oxidize a wide range of phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic substrates, concomitantly with the reduction of dioxygen to water. MCOs are usually divided into two functional classes: metalloxidases and laccases. Given their broad substrate specificity and eco-friendliness (molecular oxygen from air as is used as the final electron acceptor and they only release water as byproduct), laccases are regarded as promising biological green tools for an array of applications. Among these laccases, those of bacterial origin have attracted research attention because of their notable advantages, including broad substrate spectrum, wide pH range, high thermostability, and tolerance to alkaline environments. This review aims to summarize the significant research efforts on the properties, mechanisms and structures, laccase-mediator systems, genetic engineering, immobilization, and biotechnological applications of the bacteria-source laccases and laccase-like enzymes, which principally include Bacillus laccases, actinomycetic laccases and some other species of bacterial laccases. In addition, these enzymes may offer tremendous potential for environmental and industrial applications.

Abstract
The immobilization of redox proteins or enzymes onto conductive surfaces has application in the analysis of biological processes, the fabrication of biosensors, and in the development of green technologies and biochemical synthetic approaches. This review evaluates the methods through which redox proteins can be attached to electrode surfaces in a "wired" configuration, that is, one that facilitates direct electron transfer. The feasibility of simple electroactive adsorption onto a range of electrode surfaces is illustrated, with a highlight on the recent advances that have been achieved in biotechnological device construction using carbon materials and metal oxides. The covalent crosslinking strategies commonly used for the modification and biofunctionalization of electrode surfaces are also evaluated. Recent innovations in harnessing chemical biology methods for electrically wiring redox biology to surfaces are emphasized.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2018; 98:3843-3850. [PMID: 29363791 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.8900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2017] [Revised: 01/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/16/2018] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor on the properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) films were studied. RESULTS WPI was catalyze by SLAC without phenolic acid assistance. Particle size distribution results showed that some complexes with higher relative molecular weight formed in WPI samples treated with SLAC. The content of α-helixes decreased while those of β-sheets and random coils increased following SLAC treatment according to circular dichroism results. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis suggested that some conformational changes occurred in WPI following SLAC treatment. Analysis of WPI films prepared by casting after SLAC treatment indicated that their film properties were all improved, including mechanical properties, solubility, water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide barrier properties, film color, light transmission, transparency and thermal properties. Compared with that of the control film, some obvious differences in the morphology of the WPI films were observed following SLAC treatment. This report demonstrates that laccase can directly catalyze protein cross-linking, which may be useful to improve the performance of protein films. CONCLUSION In this study, SLAC was applied to WPI edible film during the film-making process. The results showed that SLAC can catalyze WPI cross-linking without phenolic acid assistance, and WPI film properties were improved after SLAC treatment. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A one semester undergraduate biochemistry laboratory experience is described for an understanding of recombinant technology from gene cloning to protein characterization. An integrated experimental design includes three sequential modules: molecular cloning, protein expression and purification, and protein analysis and characterization. Students perform the tasks of cloning, expression, purification, analysis, and characterization of small laccase (SLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor. SLAC is an extremely robust well-characterized protein/enzyme, which serves as an ideal model for undergraduate teaching laboratories. Also, this goal-oriented research-like approach helps students to unite the concepts of biochemistry and molecular biology and appreciate the utility of the methods more effectively. A student assessment before and after the course demonstrated an overall increase in learning and enthusiasm on the topic of modern protein chemistry. © 2017 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 46(2):172-181, 2018.

Abstract
Laccases are multi-copper oxidoreductases which catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of substrates during the simultaneous reduction of oxygen to water. These enzymes, originally found in fungi, plants, and other natural sources, have many industrial and biotechnological applications. They are used in the food, textile, pulp, and paper industries, as well as for bioremediation purposes. Although natural hosts can provide relatively high levels of active laccases after production optimization, heterologous expression can bring, moreover, engineered enzymes with desired properties, such as different substrate specificity or improved stability. Hence, diverse hosts suitable for laccase production are reviewed here, while the greatest emphasis is placed on yeasts which are commonly used for industrial production of various proteins. Different approaches to optimize the laccase expression and activity are also discussed in detail here.

Abstract
Actinobacteria constitute rich sources of novel biocatalysts and novel natural products for medical and industrial utilization. Although actinobacteria are potential source of economically important enzymes, the isolation and culturing are somewhat tough because of its extreme habitats. But now-a-days, the rate of discovery of novel compounds producing actinomycetes from soil, freshwater, and marine ecosystem has increased much through the developed culturing and genetic engineering techniques. Actinobacteria are well-known source of their bioactive compounds and they are the promising source of broad range of industrially important enzymes. The bacteria have the capability to degrade a range of pesticides, hydrocarbons, aromatic, and aliphatic compounds (Sambasiva Rao, Tripathy, Mahalaxmi, & Prakasham, 2012). Most of the enzymes are mainly derived from microorganisms because of their easy of growth, minimal nutritional requirements, and low-cost for downstream processing. The focus of this review is about the new, commercially useful enzymes from rare actinobacterial strains. Industrial requirements are now fulfilled by the novel actinobacterial enzymes which assist the effective production. Oxidative enzymes, lignocellulolytic enzymes, extremozymes, and clinically useful enzymes are often utilized in many industrial processes because of their ability to catalyze numerous reactions. Novel, extremophilic, oxidative, lignocellulolytic, and industrially important enzymes from rare Actinobacterial population are discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
Prior to 1950, the consensus was that biological transformations occurred in two-electron steps, thereby avoiding the generation of free radicals. Dramatic advances in spectroscopy, biochemistry, and molecular biology have led to the realization that protein-based radicals participate in a vast array of vital biological mechanisms. Redox processes involving high-potential intermediates formed in reactions with O2 are particularly susceptible to radical formation. Clusters of tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) residues have been found in many O2-reactive enzymes, raising the possibility that they play an antioxidant protective role. In blue copper proteins with plastocyanin-like domains, Tyr/Trp clusters are uncommon in the low-potential single-domain electron-transfer proteins and in the two-domain copper nitrite reductases. The two-domain muticopper oxidases, however, exhibit clusters of Tyr and Trp residues near the trinuclear copper active site where O2 is reduced. These clusters may play a protective role to ensure that reactive oxygen species are not liberated during O2 reduction.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is an abundant biomass that provides an alternative source for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. The depolymerization of the carbohydrate polymers in lignocellulosic biomass is hindered by lignin, which is recalcitrant to chemical and biological degradation due to its complex chemical structure and linkage heterogeneity. The role of fungi in delignification due to the production of extracellular oxidative enzymes has been studied more extensively than that of bacteria. The two major groups of enzymes that are involved in lignin degradation are heme peroxidases and laccases. Lignin-degrading peroxidases include lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), versatile peroxidase (VP), and dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP). LiP, MnP, and VP are class II extracellular fungal peroxidases that belong to the plant and microbial peroxidases superfamily. LiPs are strong oxidants with high-redox potential that oxidize the major non-phenolic structures of lignin. MnP is an Mn-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of various phenolic substrates but is not capable of oxidizing the more recalcitrant non-phenolic lignin. VP enzymes combine the catalytic activities of both MnP and LiP and are able to oxidize Mn(2+) like MnP, and non-phenolic compounds like LiP. DyPs occur in both fungi and bacteria and are members of a new superfamily of heme peroxidases called DyPs. DyP enzymes oxidize high-redox potential anthraquinone dyes and were recently reported to oxidize lignin model compounds. The second major group of lignin-degrading enzymes, laccases, are found in plants, fungi, and bacteria and belong to the multicopper oxidase superfamily. They catalyze a one-electron oxidation with the concomitant four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Fungal laccases can oxidize phenolic lignin model compounds and have higher redox potential than bacterial laccases. In the presence of redox mediators, fungal laccases can oxidize non-phenolic lignin model compounds. In addition to the peroxidases and laccases, fungi produce other accessory oxidases such as aryl-alcohol oxidase and the glyoxal oxidase that generate the hydrogen peroxide required by the peroxidases. Lignin-degrading enzymes have attracted the attention for their valuable biotechnological applications especially in the pretreatment of recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production. The use of lignin-degrading enzymes has been studied in various applications such as paper industry, textile industry, wastewater treatment and the degradation of herbicides.

Abstract
In shrimp, the development of postmortem melanosis resulting from phenoloxidase activities leads to important economic losses. Phenoloxidase enzymes include catechol oxidases, laccases, and tyrosinases, but hemocyanin is also capable of phenoloxidase activities. These activities have been explored in Penaeus monodon, using different substrates. Results highlighted that tyrosinase-specific substrates were little oxidized, whereas hydroquinone (laccase-specific substrate) was more highly oxidized than l-DOPA (nonspecific substrate) in the pereopods and pleopods. Global phenoloxidase activity, assayed with l-DOPA, did not appear thermally stable over time and probably resulted from phenoloxidase enzymes. Conversely, the laccase-like activity assayed with hydroquinone was thermally stable over time, reflecting the thermal stability of hemocyanin. Independently of the anatomical compartment, the temperature, or the substrate, the highest activities were assayed in the cuticular compartments. This study demonstrates the complexity of phenoloxidase activities in P. monodon, and the importance of considering all the activities, including laccase-like activities such as that of hemocyanin.

Abstract
Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) is one of the most common copper-containing oxidases; it is found in many organisms and catalyzes the oxidation of primarily phenolic compounds by oxygen. Two-domain laccases have unusual thermostability, resistance to inhibitors and an alkaline optimum of activity. The causes of these properties in two-domain laccases are poorly understood. A recombinant two-domain laccase (SgfSL) was cloned from the genome of Streptomyces griseoflavus Ac-993, expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The crystals of SgfSL belonged to the monoclinic space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 74.64, b = 94.72, c = 117.40 Å, β = 90.672°, and diffraction data were collected to 2.0 Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. Two functional trimers per asymmetric unit correspond to a Matthews coefficient of 1.99 Å(3) Da(-1) according to the monomer molecular weight of 35.6 kDa.

Abstract
The multicopper blue protein family, which contains cupredoxin-like domains as a structural unit, is one of the most diverse groups of proteins. This protein family is divided into two functionally different types of enzymes: multicopper oxidase and nitrite reductase. Multicopper oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of the substrate and then reduces dioxygen. The structures of many multicopper oxidases are already known, and until recently they were classified into two main groups: the three- and six-domain types. Both function as monomers and have three spectroscopically different copper sites: Types I (blue), II, and III (tri-nuclear). Nitrite reductase is a closely related protein that contains Types I and II (mono-nuclear) coppers but reduces nitrite instead of dioxygen. Nitrite reductase, which consists of two domains, forms a homotrimer. Multicopper oxidase and nitrite reductase share similar structural architectures and also contain Type I copper. Therefore, it is proposed that they have a common ancestor protein. Recently, some two-domain type multicopper oxidases have been found and their crystal structures have been determined. They have a trimeric quaternary structure and contain an active site at the molecular interface such as nitrite reductase. These results support previous hypotheses and provide an insight into the molecular evolution of multicopper blue proteins.

Abstract
Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1 is a novel actinomycete that could grow efficiently upon lignin, and the ligninolytic genes active in this biotransformation were expected to be crucial. To investigate the molecular mechanism of utilizing lignin, genome sequencing was carried out to obtain its draft genome, which was deposited at GenBank under the accession No. JJMG00000000. Multiple copper oxidase (MCO) was obtained, which proved to be an extracellular enzyme and have relative high expression with the stimulation of ligninolytic materials. Judging from its putative 3D structure, the N-terminal of MCO was bared, which was fit for the linkage of poly-HIS10 tag. As a result, heterogeneous expression conditions of recombinant laccase was achieved with TransB(DE3) grown in a modified terrific broth (TB) medium with an extra addition of 0.5% glucose at 30 °C until optical density at 600 nm (OD600) reached 0.8 when expression was induced by 25 μM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and also 100 μM copper sulphate as supplement. Finally, it exhibited special characters of thermal robustness, alkaline activity profiles, high resistance to metallic ions and chemical inhibitors as well as dye decolourization. In summary, our findings illustrated the genetic basic of utilizing lignin in this isolate. Additionally, a novel laccase expected to be potential in agricultural and industrial application was expressed and characterized as well.
