Temperature dependence of the reduction potential of blue copper in fungal laccase.

چکیده
Thin-layer spectroelectrochemical methods have been employed to measure the reduction potentials of the blue copper in Polyporus versicolor laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) between 7 degrees C and 41 degrees C (0.2 M sodium phosphate, pH 5.4). Thermodynamic parameters are: DeltaS degrees = -13.9 +/- 2 cal/mol-K; DeltaH degrees = -22.1 +/- 0.5 kcal/mol; E degrees (25 degrees C) = 780 +/- 3 mV vs. the normal hydrogen electrode. Comparison of the DeltaS degrees and DeltaH degrees values with those for single-site proteins suggests that the high potential of the blue copper in fungal laccase is attributable mainly to stabilization of the copper (I) center by enhanced ligand binding interactions and that protein solvation effects play a lesser role.

Laccase is a polyphenol oxidase, which belongs to the family of blue multicopper oxidases. These enzymes catalyze the one-electron oxidation of four reducing-substrate molecules concomitant with the four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Laccases oxidize a broad range of substrates, preferably phenolic compounds. In the presence of mediators, fungal laccases exhibit an enlarged s...

Laccases are blue copper oxidases (E.C. 1.10.3.2) that catalyze the one-electron oxidation of phenolics, aromatic amines, and other electron-rich substrates with the concomitant reduction of O2 to H2O. A novel laccase gene pclac2 and its corresponding full-length cDNA were cloned and characterized from Phytophthora capsici for the first time. The 1683 bp full-length cDNA of pclac2 encoded a mat...

Successful realisation of many important electrochemical processes, including development of fuel cell (FC) technology, requires generation of novel highly effective catalysts, which are active at ambient temperatures and physiological pH values. Optimal technological solutions can be achieved by using biocatalysts heterogeneously arranged in an electroconductive matrix, e.g. redox enzymes immo...

Combinatorial saturation mutagenesis -CSM- is a valuable tool for improving enzymatic properties from hot-spot residues discovered by directed enzyme evolution or performing semi-rational studies. CSM coupled to a reliable high-throughput screening assay -coefficient of variance below 10%- has been used to enhance turnover rates in the fungal laccase variant T2 from Myceliophthora thermophila. ...
