Abstract
Laccases or laccase-like multicopper oxidases have great potential in bioremediation to oxidase phenolic or non-phenolic substrates. However, their inability to maintain stability in harsh environmental conditions and against non-substrate compounds is one of the main reasons for their limited use. The gene (mco) encoding multicopper oxidase from Bacillus mojavensis TH309 were cloned into pET14b( +), expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified as histidine tagged enzyme (BmLMCO). The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 60 kDa. The enzyme exhibited laccase-like activity toward 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP), syringaldazine (SGZ), and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). The highest enzyme activity was recorded at 80 °C and pH 8. BmLMCO showed a half-life of ~ 305, 99, 50, 46, 36, and 20 min at 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 °C, respectively. It retained more than 60% of its activity after pre-incubation in the range of pH 5-12 for 60 min. The enzyme activity significantly increased in the presence of 1 mM of Cu2+. Moreover, BmLMCO tolerated various chemicals and showed excellent compatibility with organic solvents. The Michaelis constant (Km) and the maximum velocity (Vmax) values of BmLMCO were 0.98 mM and 93.45 µmol/min, respectively, with 2,6-DMP as the substrate. BmLMCO reduced the antibacterial activity of cefprozil, gentamycin, and erythromycin by 72.3 ± 1.5%, 79.6 ± 6.4%, and 19.7 ± 4.1%, respectively. This is the first revealing shows the recombinant production of laccase-like multicopper oxidase from any B. mojavensis strains, its biochemical properties, and potential for use in bioremediation.

Abstract
Laccases catalyze a variety of electron-rich substrates by reducing O2 to H2O, with O2 playing a vital role as the final electron acceptor in the reaction process. In the present study, a laccase gene, lach5, was identified from Bacillus atrophaeus through sequence-based screening. LacH5 was engineered for modification by fusion expression and promoter replacement. Results showed that the purified enzyme LacH5 exhibited strong oxidative activity towards 2,2'-azinobis(3-ehtylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfnic acid) ammonium salt (ABTS) under optimum pH and temperature conditions (pH 5.0, 60 °C) and displayed remarkable thermostability. The activity of the two fusion enzymes was enhanced significantly from 14.2 U/mg (LacH5) to 22.5 U/mg (LacH5-vgb) and 18.6 U/mg (Vgb-lacH5) toward ABTS after LacH5 fusing with Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb). Three of six tested polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were significantly oxidized by two fusion laccases as compared with LacH5. More importantly, the expression level of LacH5 and fusion protein LacH5-vgb was augmented by 3.7-fold and 7.0-fold, respectively, by using a novel strong promoter replacement. The results from the current investigation provide new insights and strategies for improving the activity and expression level of bacterial laccases, and these strategies can be extended to other laccases and multicopper oxidases.

Abstract
Cuticle sclerotization is critical for insect survival. Laccase2 (Lac2) is a phenol oxidase that plays a key role in cuticle formation and pigmentation in a variety of insects. However, the function of Lac2 in whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, remains unclear. In this study, we identified a BtLac2 gene in B. tabaci MEAM1 and found that BtLac2 was expressed in all stages. It was highly expressed in the egg stage, followed by nymph and adult. Moreover, the expression of BtLac2 was higher in the cuticle than in other tissues. Knockdown of BtLac2 in nymphs produced thinner and fragile cuticles, which significantly increased the mortality rate, extended the development duration of nymphs, and decreased the emergence rate of adults. This result demonstrates that BtLac2 plays an important role in the cuticle hardening of B. tabaci and suggests a potential management strategy using RNAi to knock down BtLac2 expression.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding, small RNAs of 20-24 nucleotides (nt) and function critically at the post-transcriptional level to regulate gene expression through cleaving mRNA targets or interfering with translation of the target mRNAs. They are broadly involved in many biological processes in plants. The miR397 family in plants contains several conserved members either in 21-nt or in 22-nt that mainly target the laccase (LAC) genes functioning in lignin synthesis and are involved in the development of plants under various conditions. Recent findings showed that miR397b in Arabidopsis could also target to Casein Kinase II Subunit Beta 3 (CKB3) and mediate circadian regulation and plant flowering. This review aims to summarise recent updates on miR397 and provides the available basis for understanding the functional mechanisms of miR397 in plant growth and development regulation and in response to external adverse stimulation.

Abstract
Laccases are enzymes able to catalyze the oxidation of a wide array of phenolic and non-phenolic compounds using oxygen as co-substrate and releasing water as by-product. They are well known to have wide substrate specificity and in recent years, have gained great biotechnological importance. To date, most well studied laccases are from fungal and mesophilic origin, however, enzymes from extremophiles possess an even greater potential to withstand the extreme conditions present in many industrial processes. This research work presents the heterologous production and characterization of a novel laccase from a thermoalkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring in a geothermal site. This recombinant enzyme exhibits remarkably high specific activity (>450,000 U/mg) at 70 °C, pH 6.0, using syringaldazine substrate, it is active in a wide range of temperature (20-90 °C) and maintains over 60% of its activity after 2 h at 60 °C. Furthermore, this novel spore-coat laccase is able to biodecolorize eight structurally different recalcitrant synthetic dyes (Congo red, methyl orange, methyl red, Coomassie brilliant blue R250, bromophenol blue, malachite green, crystal violet and Remazol brilliant blue R), in just 30 min at 40 °C in the presence of the natural redox mediator acetosyringone.

Abstract
A putative laccase gene (lacG) from Geobacillus sp. JS12 was cloned and expressed as a fusion protein with six histidine residues in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells, and the protein was primarily found in inclusion bodies. The resulting insoluble proteins were solubilized with 6 M guanidine HCl and refolded using an on-column refolding procedure. Ni-chelation affinity chromatography found the laccase to be a 30 kDa monomeric protein. Spectrophotometry and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis indicated LacG as a multi-copper oxidase, with the usual laccase copper sites, Type 1, 2, and 3 Cu(II). The optimum pH for enzymatic activity was 3.0, 6.0, and 6.5 with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), guaiacol and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP) as the substrate, respectively. The recombinant protein displayed high thermostability, with a heat inactivation half-life of approximately 2 h at 95 °C, and an optimum temperature of 80 °C with 2,6-DMP. Catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) showed that guaiacol and 2,6-DMP were highly oxidized by the enzyme. The enzymatic reaction was significantly enhanced by Co2+ and Mn2+, while activity was strongly inhibited in the presence of Fe2+, Zn2+, and thiol compounds. LacG decolorized 43% of Congo red and 14% of Malachite green, and the addition of ABTS as a redox mediator dramatically increased the dye decolorization efficiency.

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

Abstract
Despite a growing interest in using probiotic microorganisms to prevent disease, the mechanisms by which probiotics exert their action require further investigation. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important pathogen implicated in the development of periodontitis. We isolated several strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii from dairy products and examined their ability to inhibit P. gingivalis growth in vitro We observed strain-specific inhibition of P. gingivalis growth in vitro Whole-genome sequencing of inhibitory and noninhibitory strains of L. delbrueckii revealed significant genetic differences supporting the strain specificity of the interaction. Extracts of the L. delbrueckii STYM1 inhibitory strain contain inhibitory activity that is abolished by treatment with heat, proteinase K, catalase, and sodium sulfite. We purified the inhibitory protein(s) from L. delbrueckii STYM1 extracts using ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. Pyruvate oxidase was highly enriched in the purified samples. Lastly, we showed that purified, catalytically active, recombinant pyruvate oxidase is sufficient to inhibit P. gingivalis growth in vitro without the addition of cofactors. Further, using a saturated transposon library, we isolated transposon mutants of P. gingivalis in the feoB2 (PG_1294) gene that are resistant to killing by inhibitory L. delbrueckii, consistent with a mechanism of hydrogen peroxide production by pyruvate oxidase. Our results support the current understanding of the importance of strain selection, not simply species selection, in microbial interactions. Specific L. delbrueckii strains or their products may be effective in the treatment and prevention of P. gingivalis-associated periodontal disease.IMPORTANCE P. gingivalis is implicated in the onset and progression of periodontal disease and associated with some systemic diseases. Probiotic bacteria represent an attractive preventative therapy for periodontal disease. However, the efficacy of probiotic bacteria can be variable between studies. Our data support the known importance of selecting particular strains of bacteria for probiotic use, not simply a single species. Specifically, in the context of probiotic intervention of periodontitis, our data suggest that high-level expression of pyruvate oxidase with hydrogen peroxide production in L. delbrueckii could be an important characteristic for the design of a probiotic supplement or a microbial therapeutic.

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
A putative laccase-like gene, GPPO, encoding a protein of 17.2 kDa and belonging to the multicopper oxidase family, was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells. The purified recombinant protein GPPO is homodecameric protein with a molecular weight of 171.6 kDa. GPPO was not detected the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis) spectrum of typical laccases. Co2+ or Cu2+ was essential for substrate oxidation of GPPO, and the enzyme contained 1 mol of Co or Cu per mole of protein. The optimum pH required for the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP) was 4.5 and 5.5, respectively, and the optimum temperature was 75 °C. The half-life of heat inactivation was about 8 min at 80 °C and 90 min at 90 °C, in the presence of Cu2+ and Co2+, respectively. The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of GPPO containing Co2+ was 68 times higher than that of GPPO containing Cu2+. The enzyme reaction was inhibited by conventional inhibitors of laccase like metal chelators and thiol compounds. GPPO incubated with Cu2+ or Co2+ for 48 h decolorizes 45% or 47% of Nile blue, respectively. This is the first report of a novel thermostable polyphenol oxidase that shows the cobalt-dependent laccase activity and dye decolorization ability.

Abstract
An approach to describe continuous partitioning of Cerrena unicolor laccase in a PEG 6000—phosphate aqueous two-phase system was proposed. The laccase was separated from crude supernatant of C. unicolor-submerged culture, and all the experiments were carried out in 25 °C and pH 7 conditions. Masses of both phases and their compositions at phase equilibrium, as well as laccase activity concentrations at different mixing points, were measured in batch experiments. An empirical short-cut method was developed which allows for calculation of mass and volume fractions of the phases, laccase concentration factors, and laccase recoveries. Theoretical predictions were verified by several experiments carried out in a special mixer-settler unit with automatic substrate feed and continuous collection of separated phases. Required concentration of the laccase was possible to achieve in a one-step extraction process in the mixer-settler unit. The predictions of the short-cut method were compared to the results of experimental measurements of phase compositions, phase volume fractions, concentration factors and enzymatic yields at steady-state operation of the extraction unit. The values of experimental results lay well within the 10% error range of the predicted values.

Abstract
Abstract
Foam fractionation process for concentration of laccases from two Basidiomycete strains under different process conditions was investigated. Culture supernatants of Cerrena unicolor and Pleurotus sapidus containing active laccase were used with and without surfactant additives. Two surfactants: cationic cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and non-ionic Polysorbate 80 were applied in the range from 0.2 mM to 1.5 mM. The pH levels ranging from 3 to 10 were examined with particular attention to pH=4, which is close to the pI of the enzymes. Results show that the source of the enzyme is significant in terms of partitioning efficiency in a foam fractionation process. Laccase from Cerrena unicolor showed the best activity partitioning coefficients between foamate and retentate of almost 200 with yields reaching 50% for pH 7.5 and concentration of CTAB cCTAB = 0.5 mM, whereas laccase from Pleurotus sapidus showed partitioning coefficients of up to 8 with 25% yield for pH 4 and cCTAB = 0.5 mM.

Abstract
Given that spore laccase from the Bacillus genus is heat- and alkali-resistant, it is more suitable for industrial applications than fungal laccase. To determine the optimal culture conditions for spore laccase production, the effects of Cu2+ concentration, oxygen content, and culture time on spore laccase production from Bacillus pumilus W3 were investigated. The optimal production parameters were 0.2 mM of Cu2+, 200 rpm shaking speed, 100 mL liquid loading, and 5 days of cultivation. Spore laccase was efficiently immobilized on amino-functionalized celite. When used in dye decolorization, the immobilized spore laccase removed 84.15% of methyl green and 69.70% of acid red 1 after 48 h of treatment. Moreover, the immobilized spore laccase retained 87.04% of its initial decolorization activity after six cycles in the decolorization of acid red 1. These insights into the culture conditions and immobilization of spore laccases should be useful in the development of spore laccase as a biocatalyst in the treatment of textile wastewater.

Abstract
Abstract
Culture supernatant containing laccase produced by Cerrena unicolor strain was used to examine laccase partitioning between phases in an aqueous two-phase system. The investigated system consisted of polyethylene glycol 3000 and sodium phosphate buffer adjusted to pH = 7. Influence of several parameters on partitioning was measured, including phase forming components’ concentrations, tie line lengths, phase volume ratio, supernatant dilution, process temperature and halogen salt supplementation. Partitioning coefficients up to 78 in the bottom phase were achieved with yields of over 90%. Tie line length and phase volume ratio had significant effect on enzyme partitioning.

Abstract
The ubiquitous members of the multicopper oxidase family of enzymes oxidize a range of aromatic substrates such as polyphenols, methoxy-substituted phenols, amines and inorganic compounds, concomitantly with the reduction of molecular dioxygen to water. This family of enzymes can be broadly divided into two functional classes: metalloxidases and laccases. Several prokaryotic metalloxidases have been described in the last decade showing a robust activity towards metals, such as Cu(I), Fe(II) or Mn(II) and have been implicated in the metal metabolism of the corresponding microorganisms. Many laccases, with a superior efficiency for oxidation of organic compounds when compared with metals, have also been identified and characterized from prokaryotes, playing roles that more closely conform to those of intermediary metabolism. This review aims to present an update of current knowledge on prokaryotic multicopper oxidases, with a special emphasis on laccases, anticipating their enormous potential for industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract
The bioremediation process of industrial waste can be made more efficient using ligninolytic laccase enzymes, which are obtained from fungi, bacteria, higher plants, insects, and also in lichen. Laccase are catalyzed in the mono-electronic oxidation of a substrate from the expenditure of molecular oxygen. This enzyme belongs to the multicopper oxidases and participates in the cross linking of monomers, involved in the degradation of wide range industrial pollutants. In recent years, these enzymes have gained application in pulp and paper, textile and food industries. There are numerous reviews on laccases; however, a lot of information is still unknown due to their broad range of functions and applications. In this review, the bacterial laccases are focused for the bioremediation of various industrial pollutants. A brief description on structural molecular and physicochemical properties has been made. Moreover, the mechanism by which the reaction is catalyzed, the physical basis of thermostability and enantioselectivity, which requires more attention from researchers, and applications of laccase in various fields of biotechnology are pointed out.

Abstract
Effective biological pretreatment method for enhancing cellulase performance was investigated. Two alkali lignin-degrading bacteria were isolated from forest soils in Japan and named CS-1 and CS-2. 16S rDNA sequence analysis indicated that CS-1 and CS-2 were Bacillus sp. Strains CS-1 and CS-2 displayed alkali lignin degradation capability. With initial concentrations of 0.05-2.0 g L(-1), at least 61% alkali lignin could be degraded within 48 h. High laccase activities were observed in crude enzyme extracts from the isolated strains. This result indicated that alkali lignin degradation was correlated with laccase activities. Judging from the net yields of sugars after enzymatic hydrolysis, the most effective pretreatment method for enhancing cellulase performance was a two-step processing procedure (pretreatment using Bacillus sp. CS-1 followed by lactic acid bacteria) at 68.6%. These results suggest that the two-step pretreatment procedure is effective at accelerating cellulase performance.

Abstract
One hundred wild type strains of Bacillus sp. were isolated from industrial and agricultural soil across Serbia and screened for laccase activity. Three strains showed high laccase activity temperature optimum of 65 and 80 °C towards ABTS. A new laccase gene from the strain with highest temperature optimum, namely Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 12B was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant laccase degraded dye Reactive blue 52 at pH 7.0 and pH 4.0 and at elevated temperature, while fungal laccases was unable to act on this substrate at pH higher than 4.0 and was quickly inactivated at temperatures higher than 45 °C. Degradation of dye was monitored by HPLC-DAD and resulting precipitate was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. Single product peak without chromophore was detected in solution, while water insoluble aggregate, presumably dye polymer is formed retaining blue color.

Abstract
Ligninolytic enzyme complexes are involved in lignin degradation. Among them laccases are outstanding because they use molecular oxygen as a co-substrate instead of hydrogen peroxide as used by peroxidases. Bacterial laccase of Bacillus genus was first reported in Claus and Filip (Microbiol Res 152:209-216, 1997), since then more bacterial laccases have been found. In this research, laccase-producing bacteria were screened from pulp and paper industry wastewater, bagass and sugarcane rhizosphere. Nutrient agar medium containing 0.5 mM of guaiacol was used. It was observed that the laccase-producing strains developed brown colour from which 16 strains of Bacillus were identified. One of the isolated strains was identified as Bacillus subtilis WPI based on the results of biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. This strain showed laccase-like activity towards the oxidizing substrates ABTS and guaiacol. In this study guaiacol was used as the substrate of laccase activity assay. For determination of laccase activity of this isolate guaiacol was used as a substrate of assay for the first time in this study. SDS-PAGE and Native-PAGE confirmed the presence of laccase.

Abstract
An isolated bacterial strain is placed in the branch of the Bacillus genus on the basis of 16S rRNA sequence and biochemical characteristics. It decolorized an individual and mixture of dyes, including reactive, disperse and direct. Bacillus sp. ADR showed 88% decolorization of sulfonated azo dye C.I. Reactive Orange 16 (100 mg L(-1)) with 2.62 mg of dye decolorized g(-1) dry cells h(-1) as specific decolorization rate along with 50% reduction in COD under static condition. The optimum pH and temperature for the decolorization was 7-8 and 30-40 degrees C, respectively. It was found to tolerate the sulfonated azo dye concentration up to 1.0 g L(-1). Significant induction in the activity of an extracellular phenol oxidase and NADH-DCIP reductase enzymes during decolorization of C.I. Reactive Orange 16 suggest their involvement in the decolorization. The metal salt (CaCl2), stabilizers (3,4-dimethoxy benzyl alcohol and o-tolidine) and electron donors (sodium acetate, sodium formate, sodium succinate, sodium citrate and sodium pyruvate) enhanced the C.I. Reactive Orange 16 decolorization rate of Bacillus sp. ADR. The 6-nitroso naphthol and dihydroperoxy benzene were final products obtained after decolorization of C.I. Reactive Orange 16 as characterized using FTIR and GC-MS.

Abstract
A gene encoding a putative multicopper oxidase (MCO) was cloned from the soil bacterium Klebsiella sp. 601 and its corresponding enzyme was overexpressed in an Escherichia coli strain. Klebsiella sp. 601 MCO is composed of 536 amino acids with a molecular mass of 58.2 kDa. Theoretical calculation gave a pI value of 6.11. The amino acid sequence of Klebsiella sp. 601 MCO is strongly homologous to that of E. coli CueO with a similarity of 90% and an identity of 78%. Unlike E. coli CueO, Klebsiella sp. 601 MCO contains an extra 20 amino acids close to its C-terminus. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by Ni-affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was capable of using DMP (2,6-dimethoxyphenol), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazolinesulfonic acid)), and SGZ (syringaldazine) as substrates with an optimal pH of 8.0 for DMP, 3.0 for ABTS, and 7.0 for SGZ. Klebsiella sp. 601 MCO was quite stable at pH 7.0 in which its activity was constant for 25 h without any significant change. Kinetic studies gave Km, kcat, and kcat//Km values of 0.49 mmol/L, 1.08 x 103 s-1, and 2.23 x 103 s-1 x mmol/L-1, respectively, for DMP, 5.63 mmol/L, 6.64 x 103 s-1, and 1.18 x 103 s-1 x mmol/L-1 for ABTS, and 0.023 mmol/L, 11 s-1, and 4.68 x 102 s-1 x mmol/L-1 for SGZ.

Abstract
Laccase-catalyzed oligomerization of proteins was studied using Trametes hirsuta laccase (ThL) and coactosin as a model system. The reaction mechanism was elucidated using free amino acids and the tripeptide Gly-Leu-Tyr as substrates. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as well as oxygen consumption measurements and SDS-PAGE were used to study the reactions. Of the 15 selected amino acids, ThL was found to oxidize tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), and cysteine (Cys), of which the reactions with Tyr and Cys have been described earlier. ThL was able to link four full-length coactosins, whereas coactosin that was truncated from its C-terminus remained unpolymerized. Of the four tyrosine residues present in coactosin, only the tyrosine in the C-terminus was found to be reactive. Polymerization between tyrosine side-chains was unambiguously shown using different oligomers of Gly-Leu-Tyr as parent ions in MALDI-TOF/TOF MS fragment ion analyses.

Abstract
Laccase-catalyzed polymerization of tyrosine and tyrosine-containing peptides was studied in the presence and absence of ferulic acid (FA). Advanced spectroscopic methods such as MALDI-TOF MS, EPR, FTIR microscopy and HPLC-fluorescence, as well as more conventional analytical tools: oxygen consumption measurements and SDS/PAGE were used in the reaction mechanism studies. Laccase was found to oxidize tyrosine and tyrosine-containing peptides, with consequent polymerization of the compounds. The covalent linkage connecting the compounds was found to be an ether bond. Only small amounts of dityrosine bonds were detected in the polymers. When FA was added to the reaction mixtures, it was found to be incorporated into the polymer structure. Thus, in addition to homopolymers, different heteropolymers containing two or four FA residues were formed in the reactions.

Abstract
The incorporation of fungal laccases into novel applications has been delayed mainly due to their intrinsic sensitivity towards halides and alkaline conditions. In order to explore new sources of enzymes we evaluated the multipotent polyphenol oxidase PPO1 from the marine bacterium Marinomonas mediterranea. Here we report that, in contrast to its fungal counterparts, PPO1 remained functional above neutral pH presenting high specificity for phenolic compounds, in particular for methoxyl-substituted mono-phenols and catechols. These properties, in addition to its tolerance towards chloride (up to 1 M) and its elevated redox potential at neutral pH (0.9 V), suggest this enzyme may be an interesting candidate for specific applications such as the Amperometric determination of phenolic compounds and bio-fuel cells.

Abstract
Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2, p-diphenol: dioxygen oxidoreductases) are multi-copper proteins that use molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism. The enzymes are involved in the pathogenicity, immunity and morphogenesis of organisms and in the metabolic turnover of complex organic substances such as lignin or humic matter. Owing to their high non-specific oxidation capacity, laccases are useful biocatalysts for diverse biotechnological applications. Until recently, laccases were only found in eukaryotes (fungi, higher plants, insects), but now there is strong evidence for their widespread distribution in prokaryotes and the first crystal structure of a bacterial laccase is already available. Phylogenetically, laccases are members of the multi-copper protein family including ascorbate oxidase, ceruloplasmin and bilirubin oxidase.

Abstract
Melanins are enigmatic pigments that are produced by a wide variety of microorganisms including several species of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and helminths. The study of melanin is difficult because these pigments defy complete biochemical and structural analysis. Nevertheless, the availability of new reagents in the form of monoclonal antibodies and melanin-binding peptides, combined with the application of various physical techniques, has provided insights into the process of melanization. Melanization is important in microbial pathogenesis because it has been associated with virulence in many microorganisms. Melanin appears to contribute to virulence by reducing the susceptibility of melanized microbes to host defence mechanisms. However, the interaction of melanized microbes and the host is complex and includes immune responses to melanin-related antigens. Production of melanin has also been linked to protection against environmental insults. Interference with melanization is a potential strategy for antimicrobial drug and pesticide development. The process of melanization poses fascinating problems in cell biology and provides a type of pathogenic strategy that is common to highly diverse pathogens.

Claus H. Laccases and their occurrence in prokaryotes. Arch Microbiol 2003; 179:145-50. [PMID: 12610719 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-002-0510-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 248] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2002] [Revised: 11/15/2002] [Accepted: 12/02/2002] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Laccases are copper-containing proteins that require O(2) to oxidize phenols, polyphenols, aromatic amines, and different non-phenolic substrates by one-electron transfer, resulting in the formation of reactive radicals. Although their specific physiological functions are not completely understood, there are several indications that laccases are involved in the morphogenesis of microorganisms (e.g., fungal spore development, melanization) and in the formation and/or degradation of complex organic substances such as lignin or humic matter. Owing to their high relative non-specific oxidation capacity, laccases are useful biocatalysts for diverse biotechnological applications. To date, laccases have been found only in eukaryotes (fungi, plants); however, databank searches and experimental data now provide evidence for their distribution in prokaryotes. This survey shows that laccase-like enzymes occur in many gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Corresponding genes have been found in prokaryotes that are thought to have branched off early during evolution, e.g., the extremely thermophilic Aquifex aeolicus and the archaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum. Phylogenetically, the enzymes are members of the multi-copper protein family that have developed from small-sized prokaryotic azurins to eukaryotic plasma proteins.

Abstract
The spore coat protein CotA of Bacillus subtilis displays similarities with multicopper oxidases, including manganese oxidases and laccases. B. subtilis is able to oxidize manganese, but neither CotA nor other sporulation proteins are involved. We demonstrate that CotA is a laccase. Syringaldazine, a specific substrate of laccases, reacted with wild-type spores but not with DeltacotA spores. CotA may participate in the biosynthesis of the brown spore pigment, which appears to be a melanin-like product and to protect against UV light.

Abstract
We purified a secreted fungal laccase from filtrates of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici cultures induced with copper and xylidine. The active protein had an apparent molecular mass of 190 kDa and yielded subunits with molecular masses of 60 kDa when denatured and deglycosylated. This laccase had a pI of 5.6 and an optimal pH of 4.5 with 2,6-dimethoxyphenol as its substrate. Like other, previously purified laccases, this one contained several copper atoms in each subunit, as determined by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. The active enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of 2, 6-dimethoxyphenol (Km = 2.6 x 10(-5) +/- 7 x 10(-6) M), catechol (Km = 2.5 x 10(-4) +/- 1 x 10(-5) M), pyrogallol (Km = 3.1 x 10(-4) +/- 4 x 10(-5) M), and guaiacol (Km = 5.1 x 10(-4) +/- 2 x 10(-5) M). In addition, the laccase catalyzed the polymerization of 1, 8-dihydroxynaphthalene, a natural fungal melanin precursor, into a high-molecular-weight melanin and catalyzed the oxidation, or decolorization, of the dye poly B-411, a lignin-like polymer. These findings indicate that this laccase may be involved in melanin polymerization in this phytopathogen's hyphae and/or in lignin depolymerization in its infected plant host.
