Diversity and function of multicopper oxidase genes in the stinkbug Plautia stali. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2020
Multicopper oxidase (MCO) genes comprise multigene families in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Two families of MCO genes, MCO1 (laccase1) and MCO2 (laccase2), are conserved among diverse insects and relatively well-characterized, whereas additional ...

Involvement of Arabidopsis Multi-Copper Oxidase-Encoding LACCASE12 in Root-to-Shoot Iron Partitioning: A Novel Example of Copper-Iron Crosstalk

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Numerous central biological processes depend on the participation of the essential elements iron (Fe) or copper (Cu), including photosynthesis, respiration, cell wall remodeling and oxidative stress protection.

CotA, a multicopper oxidase from Bacillus pumilus WH4, exhibits manganese-oxidase activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a family of enzymes that use copper ions as cofactors to oxidize various substrates. Previous research has demonstrated that several MCOs such as MnxG, MofA and MoxA can act as putative Mn(II) oxidases.

Functional screening pipeline to uncover laccase-like multicopper oxidase enzymes that transform industrial lignins.

open access: yesBioresource Technology, 2023
Laccase-like multicopper oxidases are recognized for their potential to alter the reactivity of lignins for application in value-added products. Typically, model compounds are employed to discover such enzymes; however, they do not represent the ...

Genome analysis of Pseudomonas sp. OF001 and Rubrivivax sp. A210 suggests multicopper oxidases catalyze manganese oxidation required for cylindrospermopsin transformation

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background Cylindrospermopsin is a highly persistent cyanobacterial secondary metabolite toxic to humans and other living organisms. Strain OF001 and A210 are manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) able to transform cylindrospermopsin during the oxidation of

The Genus Iodidimonas: From Its Discovery to Potential Applications

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
The genus Iodidimonas was recently proposed in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Iodidimonas strains are aerobic, mesophilic, neutrophilic, moderately halophilic, and chemo-organotrophic.

Functional and transcriptomic investigation of laccase activity in the presence of PCB29 identifies two novel enzymes and the multicopper oxidase repertoire of a marine-derived fungus.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2021
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs), that can be detected in a variety of environments including the human body, adversely affecting global health.

MCO1 and MCO3, two putative ascorbate oxidases with ferroxidase activity, new candidates for the regulation of apoplastic iron excess in Arabidopsis

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2022
Iron (Fe) is an essential metal ion that plays a major role as a cofactor in many biological processes. The balance between the Fe2+ and Fe3+ forms is central for cellular Fe homeostasis because it regulates its transport, utilization, and storage ...
