Laccase: new functions for an old enzyme.
TL;DR: This work has focused on more recent reports on the occurrence of laccase and its functions in physiological development and industrial utility and the reports of molecular weights, pH optima, and substrate specificity are extremely diverse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laccases: blue enzymes for green chemistry
TL;DR: A brief discussion of laccases, a group of enzymes that work with air and produce water as the only by-product, and their uses span from the textile to the pulp and paper industries, and from food applications to bioremediation processes.

Laccases: a never-ending story.
Paola Giardina,Vincenza Faraco,Cinzia Pezzella,Alessandra Piscitelli,Sophie Vanhulle,Giovanni Sannia +5 more
TL;DR: In this review, the most recent studies on laccase structural features and catalytic mechanisms along with analyses of their expression are reported and examined with the aim of contributing to the discussion on their structure–function relationships.

Decolorization and detoxification of textile dyes with a laccase from Trametes hirsuta.
Elias Abadulla,Tzanko Tzanov,Silgia A. Costa,Karl-Heinz Robra,Artur Cavaco-Paulo,Georg Gübitz +5 more
TL;DR: Tametes hirsuta and a purified laccase from this organism were able to degrade triarylmethane, indigoid, azo, and anthraquinonic dyes and reduced their toxicities by up to 80%.

Oxidation of phenols, anilines, and benzenethiols by fungal laccases: correlation between activity and redox potentials as well as halide inhibition.
TL;DR: Although the enzymes studied have homologous primary sequences and predicted similar backbone structures, the difference exhibited by each enzyme (in interacting with individual substrate or inhibitor) suggested the structural variation in their functional domains.

Quantitative estimation of laccase forms in some white-rot fungi using syringaldazine as a substrate
A. Leonowicz,K. Grzywnowicz +1 more
TL;DR: The specific syringaldazine test for the detection of fungal laccase originally used by Harkin and Obst has been adapted for the quantitative estimation of the enzyme in Trametes versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pholiota mutabilis.

A Laccase Associated with Lignification in Loblolly Pine Xylem
TL;DR: Results suggest that laccase participates in lignin biosynthesis and therefore could be an important target for genetic engineering to modify wood properties or to improve the digestibility of forage crops.
