| Description | Laccase is a blue multi-copper enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of a variety aromatic - notably phenolic and inorganic substances coupled to the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Laccase has been implicated in a wide spectrum of biological activities and, in particular, plays a key role in morphogenesis, development and lignin metabolism. Plants usually express multiple laccase genes, but their precise physiological/biochemical roles remain largely unclear [ ]. In cotton (Gossypium spp.), laccases may be involved in fibre development [].Like other related multicopper oxidases (MCOs), laccase is composed of three cupredoxin domains that include one mononuclear and one trinuclear copper centre. The copper ions are bound in several sites: Type 1, Type 2, and/or Type 3. The ensemble of types 2 and 3 copper is called a trinuclear cluster. MCOs oxidize their substrate by accepting electrons at a mononuclear copper centre and transferring them to the active site trinuclear copper centre. The cupredoxin domain 2 of 3-domain MCOs has lost the ability to bind copper [ , ]. |
