Abstract
Mushroom laccases play a crucial role in lignin depolymerization, one of the most critical challenges in lignin utilization. Importantly, laccases can utilize a wide range of substrates, such as toxicants and antibiotics. This study isolated a novel laccase, named HeLac4c, from endophytic white-rot fungi Hericium erinaceus mushrooms. The cDNAs for this enzyme were 1569 bp in length and encoded a protein of 523 amino acids, including a 20 amino-acid signal peptide. Active extracellular production of glycosylated laccases from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was successfully achieved by selecting an optimal translational fusion partner. We observed that 5 and 10 mM Ca2+, Zn2+, and K+ increased laccase activity, whereas 5 mM Fe2+ and Al3+ inhibited laccase activity. The laccase activity was inhibited by the addition of low concentrations of sodium azide and L-cysteine. The optimal pH for the 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt was 4.4. Guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, a lignin model compound, was polymerized by the HeLac4c enzyme. These results indicated that HeLac4c is a novel oxidase biocatalyst for the bioconversion of lignin into value-added products for environmental biotechnological applications.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:3694-3712. [PMID: 38666960 PMCID: PMC11049000 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46040230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Establishing a multi-enzyme synergistic lignocellulosic biodegradation system using lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) and polyphenol oxidases is vital for efficiently utilizing plant biomass waste, ultimately benefiting the carbon cycle and promoting environmental protection. Single-residue mutations of LPMO can improve the efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass degradation. However, the activity of mutant-type LPMO in relation to lignin-diverted reducing agents has not been sufficiently explored. In this study, laccase and tyrosinase were initially investigated and their optimal conditions and impressive thermal stability were revealed, indicating their potential synergistic abilities with LPMO in lignocellulose biodegradation. When utilizing gallic acid as a reducing agent, the activities of LPMOs were increased by over 10%, which was particularly evident in mutant-type LPMOs after the addition of polyphenol oxidases. In particular, the combination of tyrosinase with either 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetone or p-coumaric acid was shown to enhance the efficacy of LPMOs. Furthermore, the highest activity levels of wild-type LPMOs were observed with the addition of laccase and 3-methylcatechol. The similarities between wild and mutant LPMOs regarding their activities in lignin-diverted phenolic compounds and reducing agents are almost identical, suggesting that the single-residue mutation of LPMO does not have a detrimental effect on its performance. Above all, this study indicates that understanding the performance of both wild and mutant types of LPMOs in the presence of polyphenol oxidases and various reducing agents constitutes a key link in the industrialization of the multi-enzyme degradation of lignocellulose.

Abstract
Pseudomonas putida is a promising strain for lignin valorisation. However, there is a dearth of stable and efficient systems for secreting enzymes to enhance the process. Therefore, a novel secretion system for recombinant lignin-depolymerising peroxidase was developed. By adopting a flagellar type III secretion system, P. putida KT-M2, a secretory host strain, was constructed and an optimal secretion signal fusion partner was identified. Application of the dye-decolourising peroxidase of P. putida to this system resulted in efficient oxidation activity of the cell-free supernatant against various chemicals, including lignin model compounds. This peroxidase-secreting strain was examined to confirm its lignin utilisation capability, resulting in the efficient assimilation of various lignin substrates with 2.6-fold higher growth than that of the wild-type strain after 72 h of cultivation. Finally, this novel system will lead efficient bacterial lignin breakdown and utilization through enzyme secretion, paving the way for sustainable lignin-consolidated bioprocessing.

Abstract
Lignocellulose, the structural component of plant cells, is a major agricultural byproduct and the most abundant terrestrial source of biopolymers on Earth. The complex and insoluble nature of lignocellulose limits its conversion into value-added commodities, and currently, efficient transformation requires expensive pretreatments and high loadings of enzymes. Here, we report on a fungus from the Parascedosporium genus, isolated from a wheat-straw composting community, that secretes a large and diverse array of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) when grown on lignocellulosic substrates. We describe an oxidase activity that cleaves the major β-ether units in lignin, thereby releasing the flavonoid tricin from monocot lignin and enhancing the digestion of lignocellulose by polysaccharidase mixtures. We show that the enzyme, which holds potential for the biorefining industry, is widely distributed among lignocellulose-degrading fungi from the Sordariomycetes phylum.

Abstract
Lignin peroxidase is a heme-containing biocatalyst, well-known for its diverse applications in the fields from environmental chemistry to biotechnology. LiP-mediated oxidative catalysis is H2O2-dependent, and can oxidize phenolic, and non-phenolic substrates by oxidative cleavage of the C-C and C-O bonds of lignin. In contrast to fungi-derived LiP, the binding affinity of bacterial-derived LiP to lignin at the molecular level is poorly known to date. Tremendous wet-lab studies have been unveiled that provide degradation and biotransformation information on kraft lignin, whilst studies on the completely transformed compounds and the degradation of each transformed compounds simultaneously during degradation are scarce. To gain an understanding of the degradation process using docking, and MDS based studies, we assessed the binding affinity of selected lignin model compounds with bacterial origin LiP and validated such docked complexes exploiting 30 ns molecular dynamics simulations. We selected and picked a total of 12 lignin model compounds for molecular modeling analysis, namely two chlorinated lignin model compounds (monomer) (2-chlorosyringaldehyde and 5-chlorovanillin), eight standard lignin model compounds (veratryl alcohol, syringyl alcohol, sinapyl alcohol, methyl hydroquinone, guaiacol, coniferyl alcohol, catechol, and 4-methoxy phenol), while, two 4-O-5, and β-O-4 linkage-based multimeric model compounds (dimer: 2-methoxy-6-(2-methoxy-4-methylphenoxy)-4-methylphenol; trimer: syringyl β-O-4 syringyl β-O-4 sinapyl alcohol). Far more specific binding residues were observed from XP-Glide docking, as TYR, HIP (protonated histidine), PHE, VAL, ASP, THR, LYS and GLN. The binding affinity was confirmed by the Gibbs free energy or binding energy (ΔG) score; furthermore, it is found that the maximum binding energy seems to be observed for 4-methoxyphenol with a Glide score of -3.438 with Pi-Pi stacking and H-bond type bonding interactions, whilst the lowest XP Gscore as -8.136 with Pi-Pi stacking and H-bond (side chain) type bonding interactions were found for the trimer model compound. The docked complexes were further evaluated for deep rigorous structural and functional fluctuation analyses through high-performance molecular dynamics simulations-DESMOND, after a post simulation run of 30 ns. The RMSD trajectory analyses of the protein-ligands were found to be in the equilibrium state at the end of simulation run for multimeric lignin model compounds. In addition, ionic ligand-protein interaction occurs among chlorinated compounds, while hydrophobic and H-bond contacts have frequently been observed in all lignin-model compounds. The findings herein demonstrate that bacterial LiP can effectively catalyze multiple lignin model compounds, and it might further be used as an effective tool for sustainable mitigation of diverse environmental contaminants.

JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (1995) 2020; 70:1252-1259.

Abstract
Lignin obtained from renewable biomass is a potential feedstock for the synthesis of various value-added chemicals through efficient biocatalytic routes. The ligninolytic enzymes-assisted depolymerization of lignin to vanillin constitutes the most commercially attractive and promising approach in green chemistry as vanillin constitutes the second most prevalent flavoring agent. Thus, in the present work, immobilized laccase and versatile peroxidase, and further, a co-immobilized laccase and versatile peroxidase system on magnetic silica microspheres (MSMS) were developed to generate a robust biocatalytic system that mediates the depolymerization of lignin obtained from Casuarina equisetifolia biomass. The depolymerization of lignin by free and immobilized laccase showed a vanillin yield of 24.8% and 23%, respectively, at pH 4.0 in 6 h at 30°C against a vanillin yield of 20% and 21.7% with the free and immobilized versatile peroxidase, respectively, at pH 5.0°C and 50°C. Comparatively, the system with the co-immobilized laccase and versatile peroxidase exhibited a 1-fold and 1.2-fold higher vanillin yield than the free and immobilized laccase system, respectively. On comparing with the versatile peroxidase system, the co-immobilized biocatalytic system displayed 1.3-fold and 1.2-fold increased vanillin yield than the free and immobilized versatile peroxidase system, respectively, at a pH of 6.0 in 6 h at 30°C with an enzyme concentration of 1 U/ml. The reusability studies of the co-immobilized biocatalytic system exhibited that both the enzymes retained up to 40% of its activity till sixth cycle. Implications: The waste biomass of Casuarina equisetifolia is widely available around the coastal regions of India which does not have any agricultural or industrial applications. The present work exploits the lignocellulosic content of the Casuarina biomass to extract the lignin, which provides a renewable alternative for the production of the commercially high-valued compound, vanillin. This work also integrates a co-immobilized biocatalytic process comprising of laccase and versatile peroxidase leading to an environmentally benign enzymatic process for the depolymerization of lignin to vanillin.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (E.C. 1.14.18. 1) is a type of Cu-containing oxidoreductase which has bifunctional activity for various phenolic substrates: ortho-hydroxylation of monophenols to diphenols (a cresolase activity) and oxidation of diphenols to quinones (a catecholase activity). Based on the broad substrate spectrum, tyrosinase has been used in bioremediation of phenolic pollutants, constructing biosensors for identifying phenolic compounds, and L-DOPA synthesis. Furthermore, not only tyrosinase has been used to produce useful polyphenol derivatives, but also it is recently revealed that the promiscuous activity of tyrosinase is closely related with delignification in the biorefinery. Accordingly, tyrosinase might be a potential biocatalyst for industrial applications (e.g., electroenzymatic L-DOPA production, but its long-term stability and reusability should be further explored. In this review, we emphasize the versatility of tyrosinase, which includes conventional applications, and suggest new perspectives as an industrial biocatalyst (e.g., electroenzymatic L-DOPA production). Especially, this review focuses on and comprehensively discusses recent innovative studies.

Abstract
Woody (lignocellulosic) plant biomass is an abundant renewable feedstock, rich in polysaccharides that are bound into an insoluble fiber composite with lignin. Marine crustacean woodborers of the genus Limnoria are among the few animals that can survive on a diet of this recalcitrant material without relying on gut resident microbiota. Analysis of fecal pellets revealed that Limnoria targets hexose-containing polysaccharides (mainly cellulose, and also glucomannans), corresponding with the abundance of cellulases in their digestive system, but xylans and lignin are largely unconsumed. We show that the limnoriid respiratory protein, hemocyanin, is abundant in the hindgut where wood is digested, that incubation of wood with hemocyanin markedly enhances its digestibility by cellulases, and that it modifies lignin. We propose that this activity of hemocyanins is instrumental to the ability of Limnoria to feed on wood in the absence of gut symbionts. These findings may hold potential for innovations in lignocellulose biorefining.

Abstract
Sustainable catalysts for the oxidation of phenol derivatives under environmentally friendly conditions were prepared by the functionalization of lignin nanoparticles with tyrosinase. Lignin, the most abundant polyphenol in nature, is the main byproduct in the pulp and paper manufacturing industry and biorefinery. Tyrosinase has been immobilized by direct adsorption, encapsulation, and layer-by-layer deposition, with or without glutaraldehyde reticulation. Lignin nanoparticles were found to be stable to the tyrosinase activity. After the enzyme immobilization, they showed a moderate to high catalytic effect in the synthesis of catechol derivatives, with the efficacy of the catalyst being dependent on the specific immobilization procedures.
