STRUCTURE OF RIGIDOPORUS LIGNOSUS LACCASE FROM HEMIHEDRALLY TWINNED CRYSTALS
|
OverviewOverview
Laccase is a multicopper blue oxidase that couples the four-electron, reduction of oxygen with the oxidation of a broad range of organic, substrates, including phenols and arylamines. The enzyme is the object of, intense biotechnological research, due to its employment in bioremediation, of soils and water as well as in other biotechnological applications. We, report here the cDNA and protein sequences, the post-translational, modifications, the crystallization and X-ray structure determination of a, laccase from the white-rot fungus Rigidoporus lignosus. The amino acid, residues sequence deduced from cDNA clearly identified a pre-sequence of, 21 residues representing the signal for extra-cellular localization. Mass, spectrometry analysis performed on the salvage enzyme, confirmed the, deduced sequence and precisely mapped two glycosylation sites at Asn337, and Asn435, determining the nature of the bound glycosidic moieties. The, crystal structure was determined at 1.7A resolution from perfectly, hemihedrally twinned crystals, by molecular replacement technique. While, the overall structure closely resembled those reported for other fungal, laccases, the analysis of the T2/T3 trinuclear cluster revealed an, unprecedented coordination sphere for the T3 copper pair. No bridging, oxygen ligand was present between the two T3 copper ions, which were no, longer symmetrically coordinated. The observed structure could represent, an intermediate along the process of four-electron reduction of oxygen to, water taking place at the trinuclear copper cluster.
