Pyranose Oxidase Identified as A Member of the GMC Oxidoreductase Family
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fungal pyranose oxidase is a flavoenzyme whose preferred substrate among several monosaccharides is D-glucose. After a comprehensive analysis of conserved features in a structure-based multiple sequence alignment of homologous proteins, we could classify this enzyme into the GMC oxidoreductase family. The identified homology also suggests a three-dimensional protein structure similar to the functionally related glucose oxidase.

In these decades biocontrol, or biological control, is an alternative mean to control plant diseases. In several fungal biocontrol agents, GMC oxidoreductases are involved in biocontrol activity. For example, in Talaromyces fl avus (Klöcker) Stolk and Samson, a glucose oxidase (AAB09442), a member of GMC oxidoreductase, is involved in its biocontrol activity of Verticillium dahliae Klebahn (Sto...
متن کاملEngineering Pyranose 2-Oxidase for Modified Oxygen Reactivity
Pyranose 2-oxidase (POx), a member of the GMC family of flavoproteins, catalyzes the regioselective oxidation of aldopyranoses at position C2 to the corresponding 2-ketoaldoses. During the first half-reaction, FAD is reduced to FADH2 and reoxidized in the second half-reaction by reducing molecular oxygen to H2O2. Alternative electron acceptors including quinones, radicals or chelated metal ions...
متن کاملIndependently recruited oxidases from the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase family enabled chemical defences in leaf beetle larvae (subtribe Chrysomelina) to evolve.
Larvae of the leaf beetle subtribe Chrysomelina sensu stricto repel their enemies by displaying glandular secretions that contain defensive compounds. These repellents can be produced either de novo (iridoids) or by using plant-derived precursors (e.g. salicylaldehyde). The autonomous production of iridoids, as in Phaedon cochleariae, is the ancestral chrysomeline chemical defence and predates ...
متن کاملEngineering of Pyranose Dehydrogenase for Increased Oxygen Reactivity
Pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), a member of the GMC family of flavoproteins, shows a very broad sugar substrate specificity but is limited to a narrow range of electron acceptors and reacts extremely slowly with dioxygen as acceptor. The use of substituted quinones or (organo)metals as electron acceptors is undesirable for many production processes, especially of food ingredients. To improve the ...
متن کاملNew oxidase from Bjerkandera arthroconidial anamorph that oxidizes both phenolic and nonphenolic benzyl alcohols.
A new flavooxidase is described from a Bjerkandera arthroconidial anamorph. Its physicochemical characteristics, a monomeric enzyme containing non-covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and several catalytic properties, such as oxidation of aromatic and polyunsaturated aliphatic primary alcohols, are similar to those of Pleurotus eryngii aryl-alcohol oxidase (AAO). However, it also...
