A homogeneous Mn-dependent peroxidase (MnP) was purified from the extracellular culture fluid of the lignin-degrading white rot fungus Phlebia radiata by anion exchange chromatography. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 49,000 and pI 3.8. It was a glycoprotein, containing carbohydrate moieties accounting for 10% of the molecular weight. Mn-peroxidase was capable of oxidizing phenolic compounds in the presence of H2O2, whereas the effect on nonphenolic lignin model compounds was insignificant. MnP contained protoporphyrin IX as a prosthetic group. During enzymatic reactions H2O2 converted the native MnP to compound II. Mn2+ was essential in completing the catalytic cycle by returning the enzyme to its native state. The oxidation of ultimate substrates was dependent on superoxide radicals, O2- and probably on Mn3+ generated during the catalytic cycle. MnP exhibited high activity of NADH oxidation without exogenously added H2O2. It was shown to produce H2O2 at the expense of NADH.

The oxidation-reduction potentials of lignin peroxidase isozymes H1, H2, H8, and H10 as well as the Mn-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 and H4 are reported. The potentiometric titrations involving the ferrous and ferric states of the enzyme had Nernst plots indicating single-electron transfer. The Em7 values of lignin peroxidase isozymes H1, H2, H8, and H10 are -142, -135, -137, and -127 mV versus standard hydrogen electrode, respectively. The Em7 values for the Mn-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 and H4 are -88 and -93 mV versus standard hydrogen electrode, respectively. The midpoint potential of H1, H8, and H4 remained unchanged in the presence of their respective substrates, veratryl alcohol and Mn(II). The midpoint potential between the ferric and ferrous forms of isozymes H1 and H4 exhibited a pH-dependent change between pH 3.5 and pH 6.5. These results indicate that the reductive half-reaction of the enzymes is the following: ferric peroxidase + le- + H+----ferrous peroxidase. Above pH 6.5, the effect of pH on the midpoint potential is diminished and indicates that an ionization with an apparent pKa equal to approximately 6.6-6.7 occurs in the reduced form of the enzymes. A heme-linked ionization group in the ferrous form of the enzymes was confirmed by studying the effect of pH on the absorption spectra of isozymes H1 and H4. These spectrophotometric pH titration experiments confirmed the electrochemical results indicating pKa values of 6.59 and 6.69 for reduced isozymes H1 and H4, respectively. These results indicate the presence of a heme-linked ionization of an amino acid in the reduced form of the lignin peroxidase isozymes similar to that of other plant peroxidases.

A cDNA clone of a manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium was isolated and characterized. The cDNA contains 1314 nucleotides excluding the poly(A) tail and the coding region has 68% G + C content. The deduced mature MnP protein contains 357 amino acids and is preceded by a 21-amino acid leader sequence. The experimentally determined N-terminal sequence of the purified MnP-1 protein, pI = 4.9, corresponds to the deduced N-terminal sequence of the gene. The Mr of the mature MnP-1 deduced from the cDNA is 37,439, which is approximately 81.4% of the experimentally determined molecular weight. The difference is due to glycosylation and a single potential N-glycosylation site with the general sequence Asn-X-Thr/Ser is present in the deduced MnP-1 sequence. Consistent with the peroxidase mechanism of MnP, the proximal histidine, the distal histidine, and the distal arginine are all conserved and regions flanking these residues display homology with other peroxidases. Northern blot analysis indicates that MnP expression is controlled by nutrient nitrogen at the level of transcription. Southern blot hybridization analysis suggests that MnP-1 is a member of a family of MnP genes.

Ligninase-I (Mr 42,000-43,000; carbohydrate, 21%) and peroxidase-M2 (Mr 45,000-47,000; carbohydrate, 17%), two representative, hydrogen peroxide-dependent extracellular enzymes produced by ligninolytic cultures of the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767, were purified and their properties compared. Spectroscopic studies showed that both native enzymes are heme proteins containing protoporphyrin IX. EPR spectroscopy indicated that iron ions are coordinated with the enzymes' prosthetic groups as high-spin ferriheme complexes. We confirmed reports of others that the ligninase-hydrogen peroxide complex (activated enzyme) reverts to its native state on addition of dithionite or one of the enzyme's substrates (e.g., veratryl alcohol); however, we found that the peroxidase-M2-hydrogen peroxide complex required Mn2+ ions to accomplish a similar cycle. The peroxidase oxidized Mn2+ to a higher oxidation state, and the oxidized Mn acted as a diffusible catalyst able to oxidize numerous organic substrates. Unlike ligninase-I which is found free extracellularly, peroxidase-M2 appears to be associated closely with the fungal mycelium. In its peroxidatic reactions, ligninase-I oxidizes a variety of nonphenolic and phenolic lignin model compounds. In the presence of Mn2+, peroxidase-M2 oxidizes numerous phenolic compounds, especially syringyl (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) and vinyl side-chain substituted substrates. Also, the peroxidase-Mn2+ system (without hydrogen peroxide) expresses oxidase activity against NADPH, GSH, dithiothreitol, and dihydroxymaleic acid, forming hydrogen peroxide at the expense of oxygen. Both enzymes were believed to play roles in lignin degradation, and these are discussed.

The manganese peroxidase (MnP), from the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, an H2O2-dependent heme enzyme, oxidizes a variety of organic compounds but only in the presence of Mn(II). The homogeneous enzyme rapidly oxidizes Mn(II) to Mn(III) with a pH optimum of 5.0; the latter was detected by the characteristic spectrum of its lactate complex. In the presence of H2O2 the enzyme oxidizes Mn(II) significantly faster than it oxidizes all other substrates. Addition of 1 M equivalent of H2O2 to the native enzyme in 20 mM Na-succinate, pH 4.5, yields MnP compound II, characterized by a Soret maximum at 416 nm. Subsequent addition of 1 M equivalent of Mn(II) to the compound II form of the enzyme results in its rapid reduction to the native Fe3+ species. Mn(III)-lactate oxidizes all of the compounds which are oxidized by the enzymatic system. The relative rates of oxidation of various substrates by the enzymatic and chemical systems are similar. In addition, when separated from the polymeric dye Poly B by a semipermeable membrane, the enzyme in the presence of Mn(II)-lactate and H2O2 oxidizes the substrate. All of these results indicate that the enzyme oxidizes Mn(II) to Mn(III) and that the Mn(III) complexed to lactate or other alpha-hydroxy acids acts as an obligatory oxidation intermediate in the oxidation of various dyes and lignin model compounds. In the absence of exogenous H2O2, the Mn-peroxidase oxidized NADH to NAD+, generating H2O2 in the process. The H2O2 generated by the oxidation of NADH could be utilized by the enzyme to oxidize a variety of other substrates.

A detailed three-dimensional model of manganese peroxidase was constructed using lignine peroxidase as the structural scaffold. This is the only protein in the peroxidase family except for cytochrome c peroxidase for which a resolved crystal structure is available. The model was built using the following procedure: (a) structurally preserved regions were derived from similar regions in the sequence alignment of the two proteins; (b) non-similar regions were modelled by searching a set of resolved protein structures for fragments which fitted in geometrically and choosing the best fitting fragment. Side chains were constructed by calculating rotamer-rotamer interaction energies and minimizing intramolecular energy. Model refinement was performed by molecular mechanics calculation. The quality of the model was assessed on the basis of the propensity of the amino acids to be inserted into regular secondary-structure elements and to be exposed to solvent. All the lignine peroxidase regions not used for model construction because of the lack of similarity, except the helix fragment Leu261-Phe269, correspond to external loops, suggesting reliable modelling. The manganese peroxidase model structure was analyzed in detail and several functionally relevant structural features were predicted, the most important being: (a) the very close structural similarity between lignine and manganese peroxidase active sites, suggesting a similar mode of hydrogen peroxide activation; (b) the substitution of polar residues for the hydrophobic amino acids exposed at the edge of the channel involved in substrate recognition in lignine peroxidase, suggesting that manganese peroxidase does not directly bind aromatic substrates; (c) the location of residues potentially able to bind Mn2+, spatially positioned on the side of the 3-CH3 heme edge.

The peroxidase isozymes secreted by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium include lignin peroxidases and manganese-dependent peroxidases. The major isozymes, called lignin peroxidases, are thought to oxidize chemicals directly. The manganese-dependent peroxidases (H3, H4, H5, and H9) are relatively minor, making up only a fraction of the total peroxidase protein. However, we have found that lignin peroxidases will also catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of Mn2+ to Mn3+. We have used lignin peroxidase isozyme H2 (LiPH2) to characterize the manganese peroxidase activity of lignin peroxidases. Transient state kinetic studies were used to obtain a second-order rate constant of 4.2 x 10(4) M-1 S-1 for the reaction of LiPH2-compound I with free or chelated Mn2+ at pH 6.0. This reaction was too fast to monitor at pH 4.5. Only chelated Mn2+ could reduce LiPH2-compound II to ferric enzyme. The Mn(2+)-chelate (oxalate) first bound LiPH2-compound II with a Kd of (1.5 +/- 0.3) x 10(-5) M and then reduced LiPH2-compound II to ferric enzyme with a first order rate constant of 215 +/- 6 S-1. Steady-state kinetic studies on LiPH2 were performed by directly monitoring the formation of Mn(3+)-oxalate. These results show that oxidation of Mn2+ by a lignin peroxidase does not occur through free radical mediation as proposed previously [Popp et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 10475-10480). Electron spin resonance and oxygen evolution studies also indicate that Mn2+ is directly oxidized by LiPH2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The crystal structure of manganese peroxidase (MnP) from the lignin-degrading basidiomycetous fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been solved using molecular replacement techniques and refined to R = 0.20 at 2.0 A. The overall structure is similar to that of two other fungal peroxidases, lignin peroxidase from P. chrysosporium and Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase. Like the other fungal peroxidases, MnP has two structural calcium ions. MnP also has two N-acetylglucosamine residues N-linked to Asn131 that are readily visible in the electron density map. The active site, consisting of a proximal His ligand H-bonded to an Asp residue and a distal side peroxide binding pocket consisting of a catalytic His and Arg, is the same as in the aforementioned fungal peroxidases as well as yeast cytochrome c peroxidase. MnP differs in having five rather than four disulfide bonds. The additional disulfide bond, Cys341-Cys348, is located near the C terminus of the polypeptide chain. Importantly, a new cation binding site, which we propose is the manganese-binding site of MnP, was located in the crystal structure. The ligands constituting the Mn(2+)-binding site include Asp179, Glu35, Glu39, a heme propionate, and two water molecules. Electron transfer from Mn2+ to the heme edge or iron center is envisioned to occur through a sigma-bonded pathway along a heme propionate.

Four conserved disulfide bonds and N-linked and O-linked glycans of extracellular fungal peroxidases have been identified from studies of a lignin and a manganese peroxidase from Trametes versicolor, and from Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CIP) and recombinant C. cinereus peroxidase (rCIP) expressed in Aspergillus oryzae. The eight cysteine residues are linked 1-3, 2-7, 4-5 and 6-8, and are located differently from the four conserved disulfide bridges present in the homologous plant peroxidases. CIP and rCIP were identical in their glycosylation pattern, although the extent of glycan chain heterogeneity depended on the fermentation batch. CIP and rCIP have one N-linked glycan composed only of GlcNAc and Man at residue Asn142, and two O-linked glycans near the C-terminus. The major glycoform consists of single Man residues at Thr331 and at Ser338. T. versicolor lignin isoperoxidase TvLP10 contains a single N-linked glycan composed of (GlcNAc)2Man5 bound to Asn103, whereas (GlcNAc)2Man3 was found in T. versicolor manganese isoperoxidase TvMP2 at the same position. In addition, mass spectrometry of the C-terminal peptide of TvMP2 indicated the presence of five Man residues in O-linked glycans. No phosphate was found in these fungal peroxidases.

A bleachery effluent from a sulfite process pulp mill, which was extracted with alkali and treated with oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (EOP), was treated with two fungi, Trametes versicolor and Stagonospora gigaspora. Trametes versicolor did not cause any depolymerization or degradation of effluent lignins but increased the amount of chromophores, whereas S. gigaspora depolymerized the EOP lignins and caused a substantial reduction in aromatic compounds. For both fungal treatments, CuO oxidation caused a decrease in the yield of the aldehydes within the vanillyl and p-hydroxy phenol families, which was faster than the rates of decrease in the yields of the corresponding acids and ketones. However, only S. gigaspora caused changes in the pattern of the 11 characteristic lignin phenols produced by CuO oxidation, reflecting a preferential metabolism of some phenolic precursors. This fungus decreased the yield of total vanillyl phenols (V), which contributed the bulk of the 11 lignin oxidation products, from 93% initially to 59%. As a consequence, coumaryl (C), syringyl (S), and p-hydroxy phenols (P) became relatively enriched to 1.2, 6.5, and 33%, respectively. The stability of EOP-lignin constituent subunits is S > P > C > V. The two fungi differed significantly in their level of enzyme activities. In effluent-free medium, the ratio of laccase to peroxidase was higher for T. versicolor than for S. gigaspora. The presence of EOP-lignins significantly increased this ratio. No lignin peroxidase was detected but manganese peroxidase and laccase were detected during degradation activities.
