  • Design and Fine-Tuning Redox Potentials of Metalloproteins Involved in Electron Transfer in Bioenergetics
    1 Design and Fine-tuning Redox Potentials of Metalloproteins Involved in Electron Transfer in Bioenergetics Parisa Hosseinzadeh and Yi Lu Abstract: 1. Introduction A significant portion of biological processes are involved with providing vital energy sources such as ATP, and controlling the flow of energy through living systems. These bioenergetics processes, the most important of which are photosynthesis and respiration, require electron transfer (ET) between different redox partners. Metalloproteins are one of the most widely used ET centers in biology. They can be classified into three major classes: cupredoxins, which include type 1 copper (T1Cu) proteins and CuA centers [1- 10], cytochromes [10-17], and iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins [10,18-24]. Each class of ET proteins transfer electrons between different redox partners which possess different reduction potentials (E°) (Figure 1). Therefore, the ET centers need to adjust their E° in a way that matches those of their redox partners. No single class of protein can cover the entire range of physiological E°, which is between ~ -1V, at which protons are reduced to H2, and 1V, at which water is oxidized to O2. Cupredoxins usually function at the high end of the E°, while FeS proteins are mostly involved in ET reactions possessing relatively low E° [10]. The E°’s of FeS proteins overlap significantly with those of cytochromes that often have intermediate E° among the three classes of ET proteins. Figure 1. Reduction potential range of metal centers in electron transfer metalloprotein. Adapted from ref. [10] 2 In this review, we first describe the importance of tuning E° of ET centers, including the metalloproteins described above.

  • LACCASE from MYCELIOPHTHORA THERMOPHILA EXPRESSED in ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE Chemical and Technical Assessment (Cta) First Draft Prepared by Zofia Olempska-Beer
    Chemical and Technical Assessment 61st JECFA LACCASE FROM MYCELIOPHTHORA THERMOPHILA EXPRESSED IN ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE Chemical and Technical Assessment (Cta) First draft prepared by Zofia Olempska-Beer © FAO 2004 1 Summary Laccase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds such as ortho- and para- diphenols to their corresponding quinones with the concomitant reduction of oxygen to water. The laccase described in this document is manufactured by pure culture fermentation of a genetically modified nonpathogenic and nontoxigenic strain of Aspergillus oryzae that contains the laccase gene derived from Myceliophthora thermophila. This production strain was developed from a nonpathogenic A. oryzae strain IFO 4177 (also known as A 1560) using recombinant DNA techniques and traditional mutagenesis. During fermentation, laccase is secreted to the fermentation broth. It is subsequently purified, concentrated, and formulated with appropriate substances. The formulated laccase, referred to below as the laccase preparation, is marketed for use in brewing beer to prevent the formation of off-flavor compounds, such as trans-2-nonenal. Laccase scavenges oxygen which otherwise would react with fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, and alcohols to form off-flavor precursors. The laccase preparation is marketed under a trade name “Flavourstar.” The manufacturer of this product, Novozymes A/S, submitted a dossier to JECFA containing detailed information about laccase and laccase preparation (Novozymes A/S, 2002). This Chemical and Technical Assessment is based on Novozymes’ information as well as published information relevant to the source microorganism, A. oryzae. The A. oryzae production strain, designated as Mt, was developed by transformation of the A. oryzae host strain How B711 (derived from the A 1560 strain) with two plasmids pRaMB17.WT and pToC90.

This makes these biocatalysts very useful for their application in several biotechnological processes. Such applications include the detoxification of industrial effluents, mostly from the paper and pulp, textile and petrochemical industries, polymer synthesis, bioremediation of contaminated soils, wine and beverage stabilization. Laccases are also used as catalysts for the manufacture of anti-cancer drugs and even as ingredients in cosmetics. Recently, the utility of laccases has also been applied to nanobiotechnology. This paper reviews recent and important patents related to the properties, heterologous production, molecular cloning, and applications of laccases within different industrial fields as well

In the present study, we performed two sets of fungal- fungal interaction - Trametes coccinea (F3) with Leiotrametes lactinea (F9) and Trametes coccinea (F3) with Trametes versicolor (F1) to understand the changes in the metabolite prole during the interaction process and how this process impacts the hyphal/mycelial morphology of the participating fungi. The metabolites produced during interaction of Trametes coccinea (F3) with Leiotrametes lactinea (F9) and Trametes coccinea (F3) with Trametes versicolor (F1) was analysed through Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectroscopy (LC- MS). Most of the metabolites secreted or produced during interaction are associated with defensive response. Further, visualization with scanning electron microscopy revealed that interaction between the tested fungi led to the change in the hyphal morphology of the one participating fungus.

Comparing fresh and dried rhizome, optimum antiradical activity was observed in dry ginger and in fresh turmeric. The drying phenomenon diminished the scavenging capacity especially in turmeric and also ginger rhizome was exhibited highest superoxide radical scavenging solely at fresh state. The extraction parameters were standardized for maximum recovery of phenolics. The Zingiberene of ginger and curcumin of turmeric rummaged the free radicals energetically.

  • Laccase Versus Laccase-Like Multi-Copper Oxidase: a Comparative Study of Similar Enzymes with Diverse Substrate Spectra
    EMPA20130243 Laccase versus Laccase-Like Multi-Copper Oxidase: A Comparative Study of Similar Enzymes with Diverse Substrate Spectra Renate Reiss1, Julian Ihssen1, Michael Richter1, Eric Eichhorn2, Boris Schilling2, Linda Tho¨ ny-Meyer1* 1 Laboratory for Biomaterials, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, St. Gallen, Switzerland, 2 Givaudan Schweiz AG, Du¨bendorf, Switzerland Abstract Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are multi-copper oxidases that catalyse the one-electron oxidation of a broad range of compounds including substituted phenols, arylamines and aromatic thiols to the corresponding radicals. Owing to their broad substrate range, copper-containing laccases are versatile biocatalysts, capable of oxidizing numerous natural and non-natural industry-relevant compounds, with water as the sole by-product. In the present study, 10 of the 11 multi-copper oxidases, hitherto considered to be laccases, from fungi, plant and bacterial origin were compared. A substrate screen of 91 natural and non-natural compounds was recorded and revealed a fairly broad but distinctive substrate spectrum amongst the enzymes. Even though the enzymes share conserved active site residues we found that the substrate ranges of the individual enzymes varied considerably. The EC classification is based on the type of chemical reaction performed and the actual name of the enzyme often refers to the physiological substrate. However, for the enzymes studied in this work such classification is not feasible, even more so as their prime substrates or natural functions are mainly unknown. The classification of multi-copper oxidases assigned as laccases remains a challenge. For the sake of simplicity we propose to introduce the term ‘‘laccase-like mult-i copper oxidase’’ (LMCO) in addition to the term laccase that we use exclusively for the enzyme originally identified from the sap of the lacquer tree Rhus vernicifera.

Decoding Cytochrome C Oxidase Biogenesis: New Insights Into Copper Trafficking Abstract Acquisition, delivery and incorporation of metals to their respective metalloproteins are important cellular processes. These processes are tightly controlled so that cells are not exposed to free metal concentrations that would lead to harmful oxidative damages. Cytochrome c oxidases (Cox) are among these metalloproteins whose assembly and activity involves incorporation of Cu cofactor into their catalytic subunits in addition to the maturation of other subunits. In this study, we focused on the pathways of acquisition of Cu by the facultative phototroph Rhodobacter capsulatus for incorporation into the heme–Cu binuclear center of its cbb3–type Cox (cbb3–Cox). Genetic screens identified a 2+ cbb3–Cox defective mutant that requires Cu supplement to produce an active cbb3–Cox. Complementation of this mutant using wild-type genomic libraries unveiled a novel gene (ccoA) required for cbb3–Cox biogenesis in R. capsulatus. In the absence of CcoA, cellular content of Cu decreases, and cbb3–Cox assembly and activity becomes defective.
