Abstract
Elevated levels of biogenic amines (BAs) in fermented food can have negative effects on both the flavor and health. Mining enzymes that degrade BAs is an effective strategy for controlling their content. The study screened a strain of Lactobacillus hilgardii 1614 from fermented food system that can degrade BAs. The multiple copper oxidase genes LHMCO1614 were successfully mined after the whole genome protein sequences of homologous strains were clustered and followed by homology modeling. The enzyme molecules can interact with BAs to stabilize composite structures for catalytic degradation, as shown by molecular docking results. Ingeniously, the kinetic data showed that purified LHMCO1614 was less sensitive to the substrate inhibition of tyramine and phenylethylamine. The degradation rates of tyramine and phenylethylamine in huangjiu (18% vol) after adding LHMCO1614 were 41.35 and 40.21%, respectively. Furthermore, LHMCO1614 demonstrated universality in degrading tyramine and phenylethylamine present in other fermented foods as well. HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis revealed that, except for aldehydes, the addition of enzyme treatment did not significantly alter the levels of major flavor compounds in enzymatically treated fermented foods (p > 0.05). This study presents an enzymatic approach for regulating tyramine and phenylethylamine levels in fermented foods with potential applications both targeted and universal.

Abstract
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections represent a major share of nosocomial infections, and are associated with longer periods of hospitalization and a huge financial burden. Currently, there are only a handful of commercial materials that reduce biofilm formation on urinary catheters, mostly relying on silver alloys. Therefore, we combined silver-phenolated lignin nanoparticles with poly(carboxybetaine) zwitterions to build a composite antibiotic-free coating with bactericidal and antifouling properties. Importantly, the versatile lignin chemistry enabled the formation of the coating in situ, enabling both the nanoparticle grafting and the radical polymerization by using only the oxidative activity of laccase. The resulting surface efficiently prevented nonspecific protein adsorption and reduced the bacterial viability on the catheter surface by more than 2 logs under hydrodynamic flow, without exhibiting any apparent signs of cytotoxicity. Moreover, the said functionality was maintained over a week both in vitro and in vivo, whereby the animal models showed excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) plastics is environmentally friendly. To obtain the laccases that can efficiently degrade PE plastics, we generated 9 ancestral laccases from 23 bacterial three-domain laccases through ancestral sequence reconstruction. The optimal temperatures of the ancestral laccases were between 60 °C-80 °C, while their optimal pHs were at 3.0 or 4.0. Without substrate pretreatment and mediator addition, all the ancestral laccases can degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films at pH 7.0 and 60 °C. Among them, Anc52, which shared low sequence identity (18 %-41.7 %) with the reported PE-degrading laccases, was the most effective for LDPE degradation. After the catalytic reactions at 90 °C for 14 h, Anc52 (0.2 mg/mL) induced clear wrinkles and deep pits on the PE film surface detected by scanning electron microscope, and its carbonyl and hydroxyl indices reached 2.08 and 2.42, respectively. Then, we identified the residues 203 and 288 critical for PE degradation through site-directed mutation on Anc52. Moreover, Anc52 be activated by heat treatment (60 °C and 90 °C) at pH 7.0, which gave it a high catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km= 191.73 mM-1·s-1) and thermal stability (half-life at 70 °C = 13.70 h). The ancestral laccases obtained here could be good candidates for PE biodegradation.

Covalent conjugation of Inca peanut albumin and polyphenols with different phenolic hydroxyl numbers through laccase catalysis to improve functional properties. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:4028-4038. [PMID: 38252689 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzymatic crosslinking is a method that can be used to modify Inca peanut albumin (IPA) using polyphenols, and provides desirable functionalities; however, the effect of polyphenol structures on conjugate properties is unclear. In this study, we selected four polyphenols with different numbers of phenolic hydroxyl groups [para-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA), protocatechuic acid (PCA), gallic acid (GA), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)] for covalent modification of IPA by enzymatic crosslinking, and explored the structure-function changes of the IPA-polyphenol conjugates. RESULTS Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis showed that laccase successfully promoted covalent crosslinking of IPA with polyphenols, with the order of degree of conjugation as EGCG > GA > PCA > HBA, the IPA-EGCG conjugate showed the highest polyphenol binding equivalents (98.35 g kg-1 protein), and a significant reduction in the content of free amino, sulfhydryl, and tyrosine group. The oxidation of polyphenols by laccase forms quinone or semiquinone radicals that are covalently crosslinked to the reactive groups of IPA, leading to significant changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of IPA, with spherical structures transforming into dense lamellar structures. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability and emulsification stability of IPA-EGCG conjugates improved by almost 6-fold and 2.7-fold, respectively, compared with those of unmodified IPA. CONCLUSION These data suggest that the higher the number of polyphenol hydroxyl groups, the higher the degree of IPA-polyphenol conjugation; additionally, enzymatic crosslinking can significantly improve the functional properties of IPA. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The applications of natural laccases are greatly restricted because of their drawbacks like poor biostability, high costs, and low recovery efficiency. M/NC single atom nanozymes (M/NC SAzymes) are presenting as great substitutes due to their superior enzyme-like activity, excellent selectivity and high stability. In this work, inspired by the catalytic active center of natural enzyme, a biomimetic Fe/NC SAzyme (Fe-SAzyme) with O2-Fe-N4 coordination is successfully developed, exhibiting excellent laccase-like activity. Compared with their natural counterpart, Fe-SAzyme has shown superior catalytic efficiency and excellent stability under a wide range of pH (3.0-9.0), temperature (4-80 °C) and NaCl strength (0-300 mm). Interestingly, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the high catalytic performance is attributed to the activation of O2 by O2-Fe-N4 sites, which weakened the O─O bonds in the oxygen-to-water oxidation pathway. Furthermore, Fe-SAzyme is successfully applied for efficient aflatoxin B1 removal based on its robust laccase-like catalytic activity. This work provides a strategy for the rational design of laccase-like SAzymes, and the proposed catalytic mechanism will help to understand the coordination environment effect of SAzymes on laccase-like catalytic processes.

Abstract
Humification offers a promising avenue for sequestering dissolved organic carbon while facilitating environmental cleanup. In this study, CuMgFe layered double oxides (LDO) were applied as a catalyst to replace conventional enzymes, such as laccase, thereby enhancing the in vitro polyphenol-Maillard humification reaction. CuMgFe LDO was synthesized through calcination of CuMgFe layered double hydroxides (LDH) at 500 °C for 5 h. A suite of characterization methods confirmed the successful formation into mixed oxides (Cu2O, CuO, MgO, FeO, and Fe2O3) after thermal treatment. A rapid humification reaction was observed with CuMgFe LDO, occurring within a two-week span, likely due to a distinct synergy between copper and iron elements. Subsequent analyses identified that MgO in CuMgFe LDO also played a pivotal role in humification by stabilizing the pH of the reaction. In the absence of magnesium, LDO's humification activity was more pronounced in the early stages of the reaction, but it rapidly diminished as the reaction progressed. The efficiency of CuMgFe LDO was heightened at elevated temperatures (35 °C), while light conditions manifested a discernible effect, with a modest decrease in humification efficacy under indoor light exposure. CuMgFe LDO surpassed both laccase and MgFe LDH in performance, boasting a superior humification efficiency relative to its precursor, CuMgFe LDH. The catalysts' humification activity was modulated by their crystallinity and valence dynamics. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) results suggested that introducing the amino acid, glycine, expedited the CuMgFe LDO-fueled humification, enhancing the formation of C-N and C-C bonds in the resultant products. The humic-like substances derived from the catalyst-enhanced reaction displayed an elevated presence of aromatic configurations and a richer array of oxygen functional groups in comparison to a typical commercial humic material.

Evaluating the mechanism of soybean meal protein for boosting the laccase-catalyzed of thymol onto lignosulfonate via restraining non-specific adsorption. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130367. [PMID: 38401588 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130367] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
The control of laccase-catalyzed efficiency often relies on the utilization of modifying enzyme molecules and shielding agents. However, their elevated costs or carcinogenicity led to the inability for large-scale application. To address this concern, we found that a low-cost protein from soybean meal can reduce lignin's ineffective adsorption onto enzymes for improving the efficiency of thymol grafting to lignosulfonate. The results demonstrated that by adding 0.5 mg/mL of additional soybean meal protein, the thymol reaction ratio of the modified lignosulfonate (L-0.5 S) significantly boosted from 18.1 % to 35.0 %, with the minimal inhibitory concentrations of the L-0.5 S against Aspergillus niger dramatically improved from 12.5 mg/mL to 3.1 mg/mL. Multiple characterization methods were employed to better understand the benefit of the modification under the addition of the soybean meal protein. The CO and R1-O group content increased from 20.5 % to 37.8 % and from 65.1 % to 75.5 %, respectively. The proposed potential reaction mechanism was further substantiated by the physicochemical properties. The incorporation of soybean meal effectively mitigated the non-specific adsorption of lignosulfonate, resulting in a reduction of the surface area of lignin from 235.0 to 139.2 m2/g. The utilization of soybean meal as a cost-effective and efficient shielding agent significantly enhanced the efficiency of subsequent enzyme catalysis. Consequently, the application of soybean meal in commercial enzyme catalysis holds considerable appeal and amplifies the relevance of this study in preservative industries.

Abstract
Strain degeneration is an important factor hindering the development of the edible fungus industry. Strain degeneration is associated with the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo. Catalase (CAT), an important antioxidant enzyme, can promote the clearance of ROS. In this study, the cat2 gene of Volvariella volvacea was first cloned into an overexpression plasmid via homologous recombination. Finally, through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, this plasmid was inserted into degenerated strains of V. volvacea T19. The physiological properties, antioxidant properties, ROS content, matrix degradation activity, and cultivation properties of the transformants were tested. The results showed that the cloned cat2 gene was 99.94% similar to the reference sequence. Screening revealed that six positive transformants were successfully obtained. After the overexpression of cat2, the growth rate and biomass of the mycelium increased significantly in the transformant strains (versus the V. volvacea T19 degenerated strains). Moreover, the accumulation of superoxide radical (O2•-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was significantly reduced, and the activity of the enzymes CAT, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) was significantly increased. Meanwhile, the expression of cat2, Mnsod1, Mnsod2, gpx, and gr was significantly upregulated, and the activity of eight matrix degradation-related enzymes was increased to varying degrees. More importantly, the overexpression of the cat2 gene promoted the regrowth of fruiting bodies in degenerated strains of V. volvacea T19. This study provides a new biotechnological strategy to control the degeneration of V. volvacea and other edible fungi.

[PMID: 38172947 PMCID: PMC10765951 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-023-02447-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Lignin, a natural organic polymer that is recyclable and inexpensive, serves as one of the most abundant green resources in nature. With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels and the deterioration of the environment, the development and utilization of renewable resources have attracted considerable attention. Therefore, the effective and comprehensive utilization of lignin has become an important global research topic, with the goal of environmental protection and economic development. This review focused on the bacteria and enzymes that can bio-transform lignin, focusing on the main ways that lignin can be utilized to produce high-value chemical products. Bacillus has demonstrated the most prominent effect on lignin degradation, with 89% lignin degradation by Bacillus cereus. Furthermore, several bacterial enzymes were discussed that can act on lignin, with the main enzymes consisting of dye-decolorizing peroxidases and laccase. Finally, low-molecular-weight lignin compounds were converted into value-added products through specific reaction pathways. These bacteria and enzymes may become potential candidates for efficient lignin degradation in the future, providing a method for lignin high-value conversion. In addition, the bacterial metabolic pathways convert lignin-derived aromatics into intermediates through the "biological funnel", achieving the biosynthesis of value-added products. The utilization of this "biological funnel" of aromatic compounds may address the heterogeneous issue of the aromatic products obtained via lignin depolymerization. This may also simplify the separation of downstream target products and provide avenues for the commercial application of lignin conversion into high-value products.

Abstract
Laccase is an efficient biocatalyst for oxidative polymerization of organic substrates. However, cost of enzyme preparation, low stability and residual protein diminish the efficiency of laccase mediated polymerization. In this work, a series of silicon dioxide coated ferroferric oxide magnetic nanoparticles were modified by different functional groups including γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy, succinic anhydride, glutaraldehyde and polyethylene imine. Infrared spectra indicated the magnetic carriers have been successfully modified. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis revealed that all of these carriers showed high magnetic responsiveness after the surface functionalization. Laccase from Cerrena sp. HYB07 was then respectively immobilized covalently on these functionalized magnetic carriers. All the immobilized laccases displayed higher thermostability than free laccase and glutaraldehyde functionalized support (named FSNG) immobilized laccase showed better performance. These immobilized laccases all showed higher efficiency than free laccase for oxidative polymerization of catechol and hydroquinone. The immobilized laccases could be separated from the water insoluble polymerization products. The polymerization product of hydroquinone by FSNG immobilized laccase showed the average polymerization degree of the poly(hydroquinone) was six (DP=6). This work provided a comprehensive exploration of laccase immobilization on magnetic carrier for catalyzing polymerization of phenols.

Abstract
Enzymes with high catalytic activity and stability have been used for the sustainable development of green chemical applications, such as water remediation. Immobilized laccase can be used to construct a synergistic system for adsorption and degradation, which has great potential for water remediation. Herein, a hydrogen-bonded organic framework was installed onto laccase in-situ to form a net-carboxylate-arranged defective cage, which enhanced its catalytic stability. Thereafter, the CMC/PVA/Lac@HOF-101 hydrogel was fabricated by freeze-thaw cycles using sodium carboxymethylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol as carriers and copper (II) as a cross-linker. Notably, the MOFs/hydrogel as a protective carrier of laccase maintain long-term recyclability and catalytic stability. After the fifth catalytic cycle, approximately 66.7 % activity of the CP-Lac@HOF-101 was retained. When both free laccase and CP-Lac@HOF-101 were used for decolorization of Acid Orange 7 (AO), the removal rates were 10.9 % and 82.5 % after 5 h, respectively. Furthermore, even in the presence of metal cations, almost 60.0 % of the AO removal efficiency was achieved. The relationship between the structure of the azo dyes and decolorization efficiency of the synergistic system was further investigated. This study offers a method for constructing enzyme@HOF-based composite hydrogels and provides a promising water remediation strategy.

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.

Agitation role (Dissolved Oxygen) in production of laccase from newly identified Ganoderma multistipitatum sp. nov. and its effect on mycelium morphology. BMC Microbiol 2023; 23:280. [PMID: 37784032 PMCID: PMC10544602 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-023-03009-2] [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: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Agitation speed influenced the production rate of laccase. Orbital speed not only influenced the enzyme production, but was also effective to dissolve the oxygen during growth of mycelium, spores, and chlamydospores. Shear effects of speed greatly influenced the morphology of mycelium. METHODS Ganoderma multistipitatum was identified by ITS marker. Phylogenetic tree was constructed for species identification. Qualitatively by plate method contained guaiacol indicator, while quantitatively by submerged fermentation and Central Composite Design applied on agitation parameter for maximum laccase potential of this species. The effects of agitation speed on mycelium morphology were observed under compound and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS Statistical optimization of agitation conditions were performed by using response surface methodology to enhance the production of laccase from Ganoderma multistipitatum sp. nov. Maximum laccase yield (19.44 × 105 ± 0.28 U/L) was obtained at 150 rpm grown culture, which was higher than predicted value of laccase production (19.18 × 105 U/L) under aerobic conditions (150 rpm). The 150 rpm provided the continuous flush of oxygen. The DO (dissolved oxygen) was maximum (65%) for "27 h" incubation at 150 rpm during laccase synthesis. The statistical value of laccase production was minimum under anaerobic or nearly static condition of 50 rpm. The predicted (12.78 × 105 U/L) and obtained (12.82 × 105 U/L) yield was low at 50 rpm. Optimization of orbital shaking for aeration conditions were performed by the use of "Response Surface Methodology". The submerged shaking flasks were utilized as a nutrients growth medium to maximize the production of laccase from G. multistipitatum. The minimum incubation time highly influenced the laccase yield from 7 to 15 days via utilization of less cost-effective medium under a promising and eco-friendly method. The morphological effects of rpm on mycelium were examined under compound and scanning electron microscopy. Higher rpm (200, 230) shear the mycelium, while 150 to 200 rpm exhibited smoother and highly dense branches of mycelia. CONCLUSION The shear forces of 200 rpm caused the damages of mycelium and cells autolysis with less laccase production. This study concluded that 150 rpm saved the life of mycelium and enhanced the production rate of enzymes.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023:e2300210. [PMID: 37211691 PMCID: PMC10375088 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202300210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotic contamination poses potential risks to ecosystems and human health. Laccase (LAC) has emerged as a promising biocatalyst for the oxidation of environmentally toxic contaminants with high catalytic efficiency; however, its large-scale application is hindered by enzyme costs and dependency on redox mediators. Herein, a novel self-amplifying catalytic system (SACS) for antibiotic remediation that does not require external mediators is developed. In SACS, a natural mediator-regenerating koji with high-activity LAC, derived from lignocellulosic waste, initiates the chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation. Subsequently, an intermediate product, CTC327, identified as an active mediator for LAC via molecular docking, is formed and then starts a renewable reaction cycle, including CTC327-LAC interaction, stimulated CTC bioconversion, and self-amplifying CTC327 release, thus enabling highly efficient antibiotic bioremediation. In addition, SACS exhibits excellent performance in producing lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, highlighting its potential for lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction. To demonstrate its effectiveness and accessibility in the natural environment, SACS is used to catalyze in situ soil bioremediation and straw degradation. The resulting CTC degradation rate is 93.43%, with a straw mass loss of up to 58.35% in a coupled process. This mediator regeneration and waste-to-resource conversion in SACS provides a promising route for environmental remediation and sustainable agricultural practices.

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
In this study, a laccase-like gene from Thermomicrobium roseum DSM 5159 (TrLac-like) (NCBI: WP_012642205.1) was recombinantly expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB600. The optimum temperature and pH for TrLac-like were 50 °C and 6.0, respectively. TrLac-like showed high tolerance to mixed systems of water and organic solvents, indicating its potential for large-scale application in various industries. It showed 36.81 % similarity with YlmD from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (PDB:6T1B) in sequence alignment; therefore, 6T1B was employed as the template for homology modeling. To improve catalytic efficiency, amino acid substitutions within 5 Å of the inosine ligand were simulated to reduce the binding energy and promote substrate affinity. Single and double substitutions (44 and 18, respectively) were prepared, and the catalytic efficiency of the mutant A248D was increased to approximately 110-fold that of the wild type, while the thermal stability was maintained. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the significant improvement in catalytic efficiency could be attributed to the formation of new hydrogen bonds between the enzyme and substrate. With a further decrease in the binding energy, the catalytic efficiency of the multiple mutant H129N/A248D was approximately 14-fold higher than that of the wild type but lower than that of the single mutant A248D. This is possibly because kcat also decreased with the decrease of Km; consequently, the substrate could not be released in time owing to the enzyme with the combination mutation not being able to release the substrate at a high rate.

Abstract
The issue of environmental pollution has been worsened by the emergence of new contaminants whose morphology is yet to be fully understood. Several techniques have been adopted to mitigate the pollution effects of these emerging contaminants, and bioremediation involving plants, microbes, or enzymes has stood out as a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach. Enzyme-mediated bioremediation is a very promising technology as it exhibits better pollutant degradation activity and generates less waste. However, this technology is subject to challenges like temperature, pH, and storage stability, in addition to recycling difficulty as it is arduous to isolate them from the reaction media. To address these challenges, the immobilization of enzymes has been successfully applied to ameliorate the activity, stability, and reusability of enzymes. Although this has significantly increased the uses of enzymes over a wide range of environmental conditions and facilitated the use of smaller bioreactors thereby saving cost, it still comes with additional costs for carriers and immobilization. Additionally, the existing immobilization methods have their individual limitations. This review provides state-of-the-art information to readers focusing on bioremediation using enzymes. Different parameters such as: the sustainability of biocatalysts, the ecotoxicological evaluation of transformation contaminants, and enzyme groups used were reviewed. The efficacy of free and immobilized enzymes, materials and methods for immobilization, bioreactors used, challenges to large-scale implementation, and future research needs were thoroughly discussed.

Yang X, Zhao J, Cavaco-Paulo A, Su J, Wang H. Encapsulated laccase in bimetallic Cu/Zn ZIFs as stable and reusable biocatalyst for decolorization of dye wastewater. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123410. [PMID: 36709822 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Laccase have received extensive attention in pollutant degradation, but its practical viability is largely affected by the poor stability, easy inactivation and difficulty in recycling for the present. Enzyme immobilization offers enhanced enzyme stability and constructs a synergistic system for the efficient adsorption and degradation of pollutants. In this study, bimetallic Cu/Zn ZIFs were synthesized by co-precipitation method as the protective carrier for laccase. Lac@Cu-ZIF-90 exhibited a good protective effect on laccase and showed a high operational stability in various interfering environments. Free laccase was completely inactivated at pH 7.0 but Lac@Cu-ZIF-90 could maintain 50.0 % activity. Benefiting from the encapsulation of laccase and porous structure of Cu-ZIF-90, the Lac@Cu-ZIF-90 exhibited decolorization efficiency for dye wastewater. More importantly, the Lac@Cu-ZIF-90 could be recovered from the dye solution and re-used to adsorb and degrade the synthetic dye for multiple times, its removal rate for reactive deep green was only decreased about 10.8 % after five cycles. This work reveals that the Cu-ZIF-90 provides a favorable environment for laccase and as a protective layer to relieve the conformation change, which provides an efficient strategy to decolorize dye wastewater. Therefore, Cu-ZIF-90 promises applications as enzymes encapsulation has great potential in water remediation.

Abstract
Laccases have been widely used for fruit juice clarification, food modification, and paper pulp delignification. In addition, laccases exhibit remarkable performance in the degradation of toxic substances, including pesticides, organic synthetic dyes, antibiotics, and organic pollutants. Thus, the screening and development of robust laccases has attracted significant attention. In this study, Vibrio sp. LA is a strain capable of producing cold-adapted laccases. The laccase coding gene L01 was cloned from this strain and expressed in Yarrowia lipolytica, a host with good secretion ability. The secreted L01 (approximate MW of 56,000 Da) had the activity and specific activity of 18.6 U/mL and 98.6 U/mg toward ABTS, respectively. The highest activity occurred at 35 °C. At 20 °C, L01 activity was over 70% of the maximum activity in pH conditions ranging from 4.5–10.0. Several synthetic dyes were efficiently degraded by L01. Owing to its robustness, salt tolerance, and pH stability, L01 is a promising catalytic tool for potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Industrial dye effluents have emerged as significant health hazard. Laccases found in white rot fungi can degrade an assortment of dyes. Here, we explore the molecular thermodynamic origin of the substrate promiscuity in laccases using a combination of steady-state UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies on the interaction of laccase with five dye molecules with varying charge, size, and shape. The spectroscopic studies confirm that all of these dyes can be degraded by laccase. Using MD simulations, we have demonstrated the presence of various distinct conformations of a loop in the protein active site that can accommodate the wide range of dye molecules. We have also shown that the diverse selection of dye molecules may exhibit surprisingly similar binding affinity due to cancellation of different thermodynamic factors. Our results highlight the potential of laccase as a multipurpose degrader for industrial dye effluents.

Abstract
Plant phenolic compounds demonstrate bioactive properties in vitro and/or in vivo, which creates demand for their precise determination in life sciences and industry. Measuring the concentration of individual phenolic compounds is a complex task, since approximately 9000 plant phenolic substances have been identified so far. The determination of the total phenolic content (TPC) is less laborious and is used for the qualimetric evaluation of complex multicomponent samples in routine analyses. Biosensors based on phenol oxidases (POs) have been proposed as alternative analytical devices for detecting phenolic compounds; however, their effectiveness in the analysis of food and vegetal matrices has not been addressed in detail. This review describes catalytic properties of laccase and tyrosinase and reports on the enzymatic and bienzymatic sensors based on laccase and tyrosinase for estimating the total phenolic index (TPI) in food-related samples (FRSs). The review presents the classification of biosensors, POs immobilization, the functions of nanomaterials, the biosensing catalytic cycle, interference, validation, and some other aspects related to TPI assessment. Nanomaterials are involved in the processes of immobilization, electron transfer, signal formation, and amplification, and they improve the performance of PO-based biosensors. Possible strategies for reducing interference in PO-based biosensors are discussed, namely the removal of ascorbic acid and the use of highly purified enzymes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biofuel is a kind of sustainable, renewable and environment friendly energy. Lignocellulose from the stems of woody plants is the main raw material for "second generation biofuels". Lignin content limits fermentation yield and is therefore a major obstacle in biofuel production. Plant laccase plays an important role in the final step of lignin formation, which provides a new strategy for us to obtain ideal biofuels by regulating the expression of laccase genes to directly gain the desired lignin content or change the composition of lignin. METHODS Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis were used to classify PtrLAC genes; sequence features of PtrLACs were revealed by gene structure and motif composition analysis; gene duplication, interspecific collinearity and Ka/Ks analysis were conducted to identify ancient PtrLACs; expression levels of PtrLAC genes were measured by RNA-Seq data and qRT-PCR; domain analysis combine with cis-acting elements prediction together showed the potential function of PtrLACs. Furthermore, Alphafold2 was used to simulate laccase 3D structures, proLAC23::LAC23-eGFP transgenic Populus stem transects were applied to fluorescence observation. RESULTS A comprehensive analysis of the P. trichocarpa laccase gene (PtLAC) family was performed. Some ancient PtrLAC genes such as PtrLAC25, PtrLAC19 and PtrLAC41 were identified. Gene structure and distribution of conserved motifs clearly showed sequence characteristics of each PtrLAC. Combining published RNA-Seq data and qRT-PCR analysis, we revealed the expression pattern of PtrLAC gene family. Prediction results of cis-acting elements show that PtrLAC gene regulation was closely related to light. Through above analyses, we selected 5 laccases and used Alphafold2 to simulate protein 3D structures, results showed that PtrLAC23 may be closely related to the lignification. Fluorescence observation of proLAC23::LAC23-eGFP transgenic Populus stem transects and qRT-PCR results confirmed our hypothesis again. DISCUSSION In this study, we fully analyzed the Populus trichocarpa laccase gene family and identified key laccase genes related to lignification. These findings not only provide new insights into the characteristics and functions of Populus laccase, but also give a new understanding of the broad prospects of plant laccase in lignocellulosic biofuel production.

Abstract
The presence of methoxychlor (MXC) in soil and wastewater is considered a nonnegligible environmental threat. Herein, Fe3O4@Fe(0) was obtained by NaBH4 reduction of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and served as a carrier for laccase to construct catalyst. The catalyst was evaluated for the degradation of MXC in treated wastewater and soil with 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) being used as cocatalyst. The removal rate of MXC in wastewater and soil was found to be 89% and 88% in optimum conditions, and the influences of initial MXC concentration, pH, and temperature on the degradation rate were evaluated. The metabolites including 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, and n-pentane of MXC were identified, and possible degradation mechanisms were proposed. Overall, this work successfully demonstrates not only the ability to degrade MXC in different circumstances but also provides a new idea for environmental remediation in the future.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are widely distributed in nature and industrial environment, and their detoxification or bioactive enhancement is of great value to environmental protection and industrial development. Laccases are multicopper oxidases that catalyse the oligo- or polymerisation of phenolic compounds. Identifying new laccase producers and investigating their application potential are of great importance. In this study, a white-rot fungus, Trametes hirsuta EZ1, with significantly high laccase productivity was isolated. The optimum conditions were studied for the maximum fermentation of extracellular laccase, which was achieved at 150 U/mL with a medium containing 10% strain EZ1, 7% maltodextrin, 1.5% peptone, and 0.5 mM Cu2+, and incubation at initial pH 6.0, 32 °C, and 180 rpm for nine days. Subsequently, a 70-kDa laccase was purified that showed activity over a wide range of temperature and pH, sensitivity to many metal ions and sodium dodecyl sulphate, and high tolerance to organic solvents. Purified laccase showed a significant unreported effect by catalysing catechol or ferulic acid into dimers, trimers, and tetramers or caffeic acid into dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers. The oligomeric mixtures exhibited increased antioxidative capacity compared to that of each parent monomer, except for caffeic acid derivatives. Our study offers a novel strain source for laccase production and broadens its application in the enhancement of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Laccases are oxidases that only require O2 as a terminal oxidant. Thus, they provide an attractive green alternative to established alcohol oxidation protocols. However, laccases typically require catalytic amounts of mediator molecules to serve as electron shuttles between the enzyme and desired substrate. Consequently, laccase-mediator systems are defined by a multitude of parameters such as, e. g., the choice of laccase and mediator, the respective concentrations, pH, and the oxygen source. This complexity and a perceived lack of comparable data throughout literature represent an entry burden into this field. To provide a solid starting point, particularly for organic chemists, we herein provide a time-resolved, quantitative laccase and mediator screening based on the oxidation of anis alcohol as model reaction. We measured the redox potentials of mediators under the reaction conditions to relate them to their performance. Lastly, for particularly efficient laccase-mediator pairs, we screened important reaction parameters, resulting in an optimized setup for mediator-assisted laccase catalyzed oxidations.

Abstract
In this study, polyethyleneimine was combined with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles through the bridging of carboxyl-functionalized ionic liquid, and laccase was loaded onto the carrier by Cu2+ chelation to achieve laccase immobilization (MCIL-PEI-Cu-lac). The carrier was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic hysteresis loop and so on. MCIL-PEI-Cu-lac has good immobilization ability; its loading and activity retention could reach 52.19 mg/g and 91.65%, respectively. Compared with free laccase, its thermal stability and storage stability have been significantly improved, as well. After 6 h of storage at 60 °C, 51.45% of the laccase activity could still be retained, and 81.13% of the laccase activity remained after 1 month of storage at 3 °C. In the pollutants removal test, the removal rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol (10 mg/L) by MCIL-PEI-Cu-lac could reach 100% within 10 h, and the removal efficiency could still be maintained 60.21% after repeated use for 8 times. In addition, MCIL-PEI-Cu-lac also has a good removal effect on other phenolic pollutants (such as bisphenol A, phenol, 4-chlorophenol, etc.). Research results indicated that an efficient strategy for laccase immobilization to biodegrade phenolic pollutants was developed.

Abstract
Abstract
Chlorophenols, used as the fungicides in leather, are strictly limited in leather products. In this work, a metal–organic framework material, zeolitic metal azolate framework-7 (MAF-7), was first used to encapsulate laccase (Lac) to prepare MAF-7/Lac bio-composites with 98.5% immobilization yield. Afterward, Lac/MNP@MOM was formed by introducing the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into the Lac@MOM. MAF-7 with better hydrophilicity and stronger pH buffering ability, exhibits good compatibility with laccase, which can reserve the activity of laccase after immobilization. Moreover, the porous structure of MAF-7 is favorable for the sufficient contact between laccase and substrates. Lac/MNP@MOM exhibited excellent activity when exposed to high temperature, extreme pH, and organic solvents, which also simplified complex recovery steps. Furthermore, the degradation rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) could reach as high as 97% within 24 h by immobilized laccase, and after nine consecutive cycles of operation, enzyme activity could remain over 80%, which gives it the potential for practical applications.

Abstract
In the present work, a hybrid advanced oxidation process that combined laccase with photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) was explored for highly efficient degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). Visible light-responsive BiVO4 film electrode with good optical and photoelectrochemical properties was prepared via an electrodeposition method and employed as photoanode for PEC degradation of BPA. After laccase was facilely introduced into the PEC system, the BPA removal efficiency was significantly promoted, attributed to the synergistic effect of enzymatic catalysis and PEC processes. To obtain the optimum operation conditions, the effects of initial pH and applied bias potential were investigated systematically. Radicals trapping experiments revealed that •O2- dominated the biophotoelectrocatalytic degradation process, and the possible degradation pathway for BPA was proposed by identifying intermediates using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds such as phenol, bisphenol A, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4-chlorophenol and 4-nitrophenol are well known to be highly detrimental to both human and living beings. Thus, it is of critical importance that suitable remediation technologies are developed to effectively remove phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions. Biodegradation utilizing enzymatic technologies is a promising biotechnological solution to sustainably address the pollution in the aquatic environment as caused by phenolic compounds under a defined environmentally optimized strategy and thus should be investigated in great detail. This review aims to present the latest developments in the employment of immobilized laccase for the degradation of phenolic compounds in water. The review first succinctly delineates the fundamentals of biological enzyme degradation along with a critical discussion on the myriad types of laccase immobilization techniques, which include physical adsorption, ionic adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, and self-immobilization. Then, this review presents the major properties of immobilized laccase, namely pH stability, thermal stability, reusability, and storage stability, as well as the degradation efficiencies and associated kinetic parameters. In addition, the optimization of the immobilized enzyme, specifically on laccase immobilization methods and multi-enzyme system are critically discussed. Finally, pertinent future perspectives are elucidated in order to significantly advance the developments of this research field to a higher level.

Abstract
In the field of environmental science and engineering, microorganisms, enzymes and algae are promising biomass materials that can effectively degrade pollutants. However, problems such as poor environmental adaptability, recycling difficulties, and secondary pollution exist in the practical application of non-immobilized biomass materials. Biomass immobilization is a novel environmental remediation technology that can effectively solve these problems. Compared with non-immobilized biomass, immobilized biomass materials have the advantages of reusability and stability in terms of pH, temperature, handling, and storage. Many researchers have studied immobilization technology (i.e., methods, carriers, and biomass types) and its applications for removing refractory organic pollutants. Based on this, this paper reviews biomass immobilization technology, outlines the mechanisms and factors affecting the removal of refractory organic pollutants, and introduces the application of immobilized biomass materials as fillers for reactors in water purification. This review provides some practical references for the preparation and application of immobilized biomass materials and promotes further research and development to expand the application range of this material for water purification.

Current Challenges for Biological Treatment of Pharmaceutical-Based Contaminants with Oxidoreductase Enzymes: Immobilization Processes, Real Aqueous Matrices and Hybrid Techniques. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12101489.

Abstract
The worldwide access to pharmaceuticals and their continuous release into the environment have raised a serious global concern. Pharmaceuticals remain active even at low concentrations, therefore their occurrence in waterbodies may lead to successive deterioration of water quality with adverse impacts on the ecosystem and human health. To address this challenge, there is currently an evolving trend toward the search for effective methods to ensure efficient purification of both drinking water and wastewater. Biocatalytic transformation of pharmaceuticals using oxidoreductase enzymes, such as peroxidase and laccase, is a promising environmentally friendly solution for water treatment, where fungal species have been used as preferred producers due to their ligninolytic enzymatic systems. Enzyme-catalyzed degradation can transform micropollutants into more bioavailable or even innocuous products. Enzyme immobilization on a carrier generally increases its stability and catalytic performance, allowing its reuse, being a promising approach to ensure applicability to an industrial scale process. Moreover, coupling biocatalytic processes to other treatment technologies have been revealed to be an effective approach to achieve the complete removal of pharmaceuticals. This review updates the state-of-the-art of the application of oxidoreductases enzymes, namely laccase, to degrade pharmaceuticals from spiked water and real wastewater. Moreover, the advances concerning the techniques used for enzyme immobilization, the operation in bioreactors, the use of redox mediators, the application of hybrid techniques, as well as the discussion of transformation mechanisms and ending toxicity, are addressed.

Abstract
Efficient biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass needs a battery of enzymes targeting cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In this study, recombinant Trichoderma reesei ZJ-09 with Pycnoporus sanguineus laccase gene was used to degrade rice straw by in situ production of laccase, xylanase, and cellulases under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Effects of parameters on key enzymes (cellulase, xylanase, and laccase) in biodegradation during SSF were investigated. Under the optimized SSF conditions, the FPA, xylanase activity, and laccase activity reached 110.47 FPU/g, 5787.59 IU/g, and 24.45 IU/g, respectively, on day 12. The obtained recombinant T. reesei SSF system achieved efficient degradation of rice straw with the final mass loss up to 51.16% which was 1.4-fold higher than the host strain. Further, bioconversion of rice straw into a novel laccase-enriched koji for persistent organic pollutants bioremediation (LKPB) was conducted by the optimized SSF system. LKPB was found to degrade persistent organic pollutants (POPs) effectively without the addition of mediators. 4-h removal rates of three POPs mediated by LKPB (87.21% for 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 92.45% for nonylphenol, and 90.73% for oxytetracycline) were comparable to those achieved by laccase-co-mediator system. The newly established recombinant T. reesei SSF system could be potential to effectively degrade lignocellulosic wastes as well as organic pollutants.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 436:129269. [PMID: 35739784 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
How humic acid (HA) modifies bisphenol A (BPA) conversion in exoenzyme-activated polyreaction is poorly understood. Herein, the influencing mechanism of HA on laccase-induced BPA self-polymerization was investigated, and the phytotoxicity of the produced BPA self/co-polymers was assessed for the first time. HA prominently boosted BPA elimination, and the rate constants of BPA conversion augmented from 0.61 to 1.43 h-1 as HA level raised from 0 to 50 mg·L-1. It is because the generated BPA-HA co-polymers promptly lowered the yields of long-chain BPA self-oligomers, consequently maintaining laccase activity through opening enzymatic substrate-binding pockets. Notably, a few BPA monomers were re-released from the loosely bound self-polymers and co-polymers, and the releasing amounts respectively were 13.9 - 22.4% and 0.3 - 0.5% at pH 2 - 11. Formation of self/co-polymers was greatly conducive to avoiding BPA biotoxicity. Compared with BPA self-polymers, the phytotoxicity of BPA co-polymers to germinated radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds was lower due to these covalently bound products were more complex and stable. It follows that laccase-mediated co-polymerization played a significant role in BPA conversion, contaminant detoxification, and carbon sequestration. These findings are not only beneficial to clarifying exoenzyme-activated the generation mechanism of BPA co-polymers in water, but to reusing these supramolecular aggregates in crop growth.

Abstract
Facile construction of functional nanomaterials with laccase-like activity is important in sustainable chemistry since laccase is featured as an efficient and promising catalyst especially for phenolic degradation but still has the challenges of high cost, low activity, poor stability and unsatisfied recyclability. In this paper, we report a simple method to synthesize nanozymes with enhanced laccase-like activity by the self-assembly of copper ions with various imidazole derivatives. In the case of 1-methylimidazole as the ligand, the as-synthesized nanozyme (denoted as Cu-MIM) has the highest yield and best activity among the nanozymes prepared. Compared to laccase, the Km of Cu-MIM nanozyme to phenol is much lower, and the vmax is 6.8 times higher. In addition, Cu-MIM maintains excellent stability in a variety of harsh environments, such as high pH, high temperature, high salt concentration, organic solvents and long-term storage. Based on the Cu-MIM nanozyme, we established a method for quantitatively detecting phenol concentration through a smartphone, which is believed to have important applications in environmental protection, pollutant detection and other fields.

Abstract
Laccase is a delignifying enzyme that belongs to the oxidoreductase family, and it has long been investigated as a pretreatment agent in biofuel production. In this study, amino acid sequences of five bacterial laccases from Bifidobacterium breve, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudodesulfovibrio hydrargyri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Veillonella rodentium have been retrieved from UniProtKB for sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 7.0 and 3 D structure prediction by homology modeling in SWISS-MODEL. Multiple sequence alignment between all the bacterial laccase sequences revealed a similar structural fold, although the overall protein sequence varied greatly with the substrate binding sites. Further molecular docking in AutoDock Vina and MD stimulation (MDS) in GROMACS for those modelled enzymes were performed considering both apo and ligand bound structures considering both apo and its ligand bound form. Investigation of molecular interaction utilizing docking of five bacterial laccases with three substrates (ABTS, DMP and Guaiacol) revealed that ABTS with K. pneumoniae laccase had the highest binding energy of -7.00 kcal/mol. In the current MDS investigation, bacterial laccases demonstrated greater binding and substrate energy in the ligand bound complex than in the apo form for ABTS, DMP and Guaiacol. In most cases of bacterial laccase, MDS revealed that DMP bound complex was more stable within an average RMSD value lower than 0.5 nm throughout 100 ns time scale. Thus, in silico studies undertaken in this work will be useful in determining the stable enzyme-substrate complex which further might improve the enzymatic catalysis of bacterial laccases for lignin breakdown and biofuel generation.

Abstract
This pilot investigation aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency and the underlying biocatalytic pathways of immobilized fungal laccase during the oxidative biotransformation of a non-phenolic metabolite, 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides. The maximum loading of laccase on the microporous support surfaces could reach 36.4 mg/g. The immobilized laccase on the microporous support surfaces exhibited excellent thermal stability, pH adaptability, storage stability, and reusability compared to free laccase. The ILMS assay indicated that the immobilized laccase efficiently removed studied 3,5-DCA (99-100%) in the aqueous medium, within 72 h in the presence of catechol. In this study, we identified three coupling reaction products during the removal of 3,5-DCA through an ILMS assay. Based on the identified coupling reaction products, we proposed the reaction pathway for the biotransformation of 3,5-DCA by immobilized laccase, which was shown to be potentially useful in the sustainable environmental remediation of aniline metabolite (i.e., 3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides.

Abstract
Traditional composting is a well-suited biotechnology for on-farm management of livestock manure (LM) but still leads to the release of toxic micropollutants and imbalance of nutrients. One in situ exoenzyme-assisted composting has shown promise to ameliorate the agronomical quality of end products by improving humification and polymerization. The naturally occurring extracellular laccase from microorganisms belongs to a multicopper phenoloxidase, which is verified for its versatility to tackle micropollutants and conserve organics through the reactive radical-enabled decomposition and polymerization channels. Laccase possesses an indispensable relationship with humus formation during LM composting, but its potential applications for the harmless disposal and resource utilization of LM have until now been overlooked. Herein, we review the extracellular laccase-aided humification mechanism and its optimizing strategy to maintain enzyme activity and in situ production, highlighting the critical roles of laccase in treating micropollutants and preserving organics during LM composting. Particularly, the functional effects of the formed humification products by laccase-amended composting on plant growth are also discussed. Finally, the future perspectives and outstanding questions are summarized. This critical review provides fundamental insights into laccase-boosted humification that ameliorates the quality of end products in LM composting, which is beneficial to guide and advance the practical applications of exoenzyme in humification remediation, the carbon cycle, and agriculture protection.

Abstract
Laccases are a class of multicopper oxidases that catalyse the one-electron oxidation of four equivalents of a reducing substrate, with the concomitant four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water. Typically, they catalyse many anabolic reactions, in which mostly phenolic metabolites were subjected to oxidative coupling. Alternatively, laccases catalyse the degradation or modification of biopolymers like lignin in catabolic processes. In recent years, laccases have proved valuable and green biocatalysts for synthesising compounds with therapeutic value, including antitumor, antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant agents. Further up to date applications include oxidative depolymerisation of lignin to gain new biomaterials and bioremediation processes of industrial waste. This review summarizes selected examples from the last decade's literature about the laccase-mediated synthesis of biologically active natural products and their analogues; these will include lignans and neolignans, dimeric stilbenoids, biflavonoids, biaryls and other compounds of potential interest for the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, a short section about applications of laccases in natural polymer modification has been included.

Abstract
Humic constituents (HCs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic ecosystems, and contain various functional groups that seriously impact the conversion of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) by fungal laccase. The purpose of this study was to explore the influencing mechanism of HCs on Trametes versicolor laccase-enabled 17β-E2 oxidation and oligomerization. Herein, T. versicolor-secreted laccase could rapidly convert 99.2% of 17β-E2 (rate constant = 3.7 × 10-2 min-1, half-life = 18.7 min) into multifarious oligomers at 25 °C and pH 5.0, by phenolic radical-caused C-C and/or C-O self-linking routes, whereas HCs with O-phenolic hydroxyl groups (O-p-OH, i.e., catechol, pyrogallol, gallic acid, and caffeic acid) dramatically suppressed 17β-E2 oligomerization. Compared with HC-free, 17β-E2 rate constants weakened 6.3-15.8 fold in the presence of HCs containing O-p-OH. It is largely because the O-p-OH was preferentially oxidized by T. versicolor laccase to create the electrophilic O-quinone monomers/oligomers. These unstable reactive O-quinone intermediates strongly reversed 17β-E2 phenolic radicals to their monomeric molecules via two proton-transfer versus two electron-transfer channels, thus intercepting 17β-E2 oxidation and oligomerization. These findings highlight new insights into the effect of HCs containing O-p-OH on T. versicolor laccase-started 17β-E2 conversion, which is beneficial to re-understanding the fate and geochemical behavior of 17β-E2 in water.

Abstract
The growing demands of solvent-based industries like paint, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, paper and pulp, etc., have directly increased the release of effluents that are rich in hazardous aromatic compounds in the environment. A sustainable biotechnological approach utilizing laccases as biocatalyst enable in biodegradation of these aromatic toxin-rich effluents. However, this enzymatic process is ineffective as laccases lose their stability and catalytic activity at high organic solvent concentrations. In this study, molecular dynamic simulations of a novel solvent tolerant laccase, DLac from Cerrena sp. RSD1 was performed to explore the molecular-level understanding of DLac in 30%(v/v) acetone and acetonitrile. Solvent-induced conformational changes were analyzed via protein structure network, which was illustrated with respect to cliques and communities. In the presence of acetonitrile, the cliques around the active site and substrate-binding site were disjoined, thus the communities lost their network integrity. Whereas with acetone, the community near the substrate-binding site gained new residues and formed a rigidified network that corresponded to enhanced DLac's activity. Moreover, prominent solvent binding sites were speculated, which can be probable mutation targets to further improve solvent tolerance and catalytic activity. The molecular basis behind solvent induced catalytic activity will further aid in engineering laccase for its industrial application.

Abstract
Humification processes of phenolic pollutants may play a profound role in environment purification and plant growth. However, little literature is performed to explore exoenzyme-driven humification to polymerize 17β-estradiol (E2) and humic constituents (HCs), and the effects of their polymeric precipitates on plant growth are usually overlooked. Herein, E2 conversion and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) growth were systematically investigated under humification mediated by extracellular laccase (EL) of Trametes versicolor. Results disclosed that EL-assisted humification achieved a wonderful E2 conversion efficiency (>99%) within 2-h, but the presence of HCs such as humic acid (HA), vanillic acid (VA), and ferulic acid (FA) impeded E2 elimination significantly. Compared with HC-free, the kinetics constants declined by 2.84-, 5.72-, and 5.22-fold with HA, VA, and FA present, respectively. Intriguingly, three close-knit self/cross-linked precipitates (i.e., E2-HA, E2-VA, and E2-FA hybrid precipitates) in dark gray, dark brown, and deep yellow were created after a continuous humification by phenolic radical-initiated polymerization mechanisms. The formation of these humified precipitates was extremely effective on circumventing phytotoxicity caused by monomeric E2, VA, or FA. Furthermore, they acted as humic-like organic fertilizers, accelerating seed germination, root elongation, and enhancing NaCl-tolerance of radish through the combination of oxygen-contained functional components and auxin structural analogues with unstable and stubborn carbon skeletons. This is the first study reporting the pollution purification and plant growth promotion in EL-activated humification. Our findings frame valuable perspectives regarding the natural detoxification and carbon sequestration of phenolic pollutants and the application of their polymeric precipitates in global crop production.

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.
