Nucleotide sequence of a ligninase gene from Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

چکیده
Lignin biodegradation is catalyzed in part by ligninases, also known as lignin peroxidases (1-4). We have cloned and sequenced the gene encoding ligninase isozyme H8 from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The gene is interrupted by eight introns, ranging in size from 49 to 69 bp, which are distributed throughout the gene. Putative transcriptional control signals (underlined) include a CAAT at position -110 and a TATA box at -81 relative to the translational initiation codon. The nucleotide sequence of the coding region is identical to the cDNA sequence published previously (5), except for a GC at positions 591-592 instead of CG, resulting in an Arg to Ala substitution.

Decolorization of Molasses Waste Water from an Alcoholic Fermentation Process with Phanerochaete Chrysosporium Involvement of Ligninase
Waste water from a molasses alcoholic fermentation plant (MWW) was treated biologically with Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The ability of this white-rot fungus to degrade the dark colored pigments present in MWW and the consequent decrease the effluent's color was examined. The Optimum concentration of MWW for color removal was determined and set at the ratio of 1:10. The color changes durin...
متن کاملFactors Involved in the Regulation of a Ligninase Activity in Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
The regulation of an H(2)O(2)-dependent ligninolytic activity was examined in the wood decay fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The ligninase appears in cultures upon limitation for nitrogen or carbohydrate and is suppressed by excess nutrients, by cycloheximide, or by culture agitation. Activity is increased by idiophasic exposure of cultures to 100% O(2). Elevated levels of ligninase and, in...

Research on the extracellular hemeprotein ligninases of Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been hampered by the necessity to produce them in stationary culture. This investigation examined the effects of detergents on development of ligninase activity in agitated submerged cultures. Results show that addition of Tween 80, Tween 20, or 3-[(3-colamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]1-propanesulfonate to the ...

Ligninase is a generic name for a group of isozymes that catalyze the oxidative depolymerization of lignin. Although undoubtedly produced by other lignin-degrading fungi, these isozymes to data have been isolated only from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds. 1,2 These ligninases are extracellular and are produced during secondary metabolism, brought about by nutrient starvation...

Three lignin peroxidase (LiP) genes from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium were cloned on a single 30 kb cosmid insert. One gene, GLG5, is the genomic equivalent of a previously reported cDNA clone, CLG5. The other two LiP genes are transcriptionally convergent and map to a position approximately 15 kb downstream of GLG5. The translational stop codons of these genes are separated by...
