- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to obtain information about the enzymatic properties of aryl-alcohol oxidase from the plant saprophytic basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea (rCcAAO), which is classified into the auxiliary activities family 3 subfamily 2 (AA3_2).Results: The gene encoding AAO from the plant saprophytic basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea (CcAAO) was cloned, and the recombinant CcAAO (rCcAAO) was heterologously expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The purified rCcAAO showed significant activity not only against trans,trans-2,4-hexadien-1-ol but also against a broad range of aromatic alcohols including aromatic compounds that were reported to be poor substrates for known AAOs. Moreover, site-directed mutagenesis analysis demonstrated that mutants with substitutions from leucine to phenylalanine and tryptophan at position 416 exhibited decreases of activity for aromatic alcohols but still maintained the activity for trans,trans-2,4-hexadien-1-ol.Conclusions: Leucine 416 in CcAAO contributes to the broad substrate specificity against various aromatic alcohols, which is useful for the production of hydrogen peroxide using this enzyme.
