  • Title: Purification of a laccase from fruiting bodies of the mushroom Pleurotus eryngii.
    Author: Wang HX, Ng TB.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol Biotechnol; 2006 Jan; 69(5):521-5. PubMed ID: 16075291.
    Abstract:
    A purification scheme involving ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose, carboxymethyl (CM) cellulose, and Q-Sepharose, followed by fast protein liquid chromatography-gel filtration on Superdex 75, was utilized to isolate a laccase from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom Pleurotus eryngii. The laccase was adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose and Q-Sepharose and unadsorbed on CM-cellulose. The molecular mass of the laccase in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 34 kDa. The laccase activity was maximal at 70 degrees C and remained high at 80 degrees C. High activity of the laccase was maintained at ph 3 to 5. The activity underwent an abrupt decline at pH 6 and 7 and was indiscernible at ph 8 and 9. The laccase exhibited an inhibitory activity toward HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with an IC50 of 2.2 microM. Its N-terminal sequence was dissimilar to those of laccase isoenzymes previously isolated from cultured mycelia of the same species.
