< | == Function == | ||
'''Laccase''' (Lac) or '''multicopper oxidase''' is a multi-copper protein which uses molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism<ref>PMID:15036303</ref>. The multi-copper oxidases constitute a family of enzymes whose principal members are laccase (benzenediol oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2), ascorbate oxidase (L-ascorbate oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.3) and ceruloplasmin (Fe(II) oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.16.3.1). | |||

* '''Laccase 2''' (Lac2) acts in lignin degradation and in detoxification of lignin products. Typically, laccases show a three cupredoxin-domain folding<ref>PMID:25586560</ref>. | |||
*'''Two-domain laccase''' or small lactase have unusual resistance to inhibitors<ref>PMID:25778839</ref>. | |||
*'''CotA laccase''' belongs to the multi-copper oxidase family. Similar to the other laccases the three dimensional structure of CotA [[1w6l]] comprises three cupredoxin domains and four copper ions organised in <scene name='CotA_laccase/Copper_centers/5'>Two copper centers</scene>: | |||
a <scene name='40/404916/Cv/3'>mononuclear blue type 1 copper center</scene> and <scene name='40/404916/Cv/2'>a trinuclear center</scene>.<ref>PMID:11514528</ref><ref>PMID:16234932</ref> | |||
