|
Laccase produced by Trametes hirsuta S1 isolated from Korea was partially purified and characterized using ultrafiltration, anion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. The laccase was produced as the predominant extracellular enzyme during primary metabolism. Neither lignin peroxidase nor veratryl alcohol oxidase (VAO) were detected in the culture fluid. Addition of 2,5-xylidine enhanced 4-fold laccase production. Purified laccase was a single polypeptide having a molecular mass of approximately 66 kDa, as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and carbohydrate content of 12%. $K_{m}\;and\;V_{max}$ values for laccase with ABTS [2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline 6-sulfonic acid)] as a substrate (Lineweaver-Burk plot) was determined to $51.2\;{\mu}M\;and\;56.8\;{\mu}mole$, respectively. The optimal pH for laccase activity was found to be 3.0. The enzyme was very stable for 1 hour at $50^{\circ}C$. Half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of the enzyme was about 20 min at $70^{\circ}C$. Spectroscopic analysis of purified enzyme indicated that the enzyme was typical of copper-containing protein. Substrate specificity and inhibitor studies for laccase also indicated to be a typical fungal laccase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the T. hirsuta S1 laccase showed 100% of homology to those of laccase from C. hirsutus.
