Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are critical players in enzymatic deconstruction of cellulose. A number of LPMOs have been identified at a genomics level; however, they still need to be characterized and validated for use in industrial processes aimed at cellulose deconstruction. In the present study, we biochemically characterized a new LPMO, a member of auxiliary activities family 9 (AA9) from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (AfLPMO9D). This LPMO demonstrated higher efficiency against amorphous cellulose as compared to more recalcitrant forms of cellulose such as bacterial cellulose and Avicel. AfLPMO9D has a capacity to oxidize the substrate at either the C1 or C4 positions, with pH-dependent regioselectivity. Photoactivation experiments demonstrated that light-stimulated chlorophyllin triggers AfLPMO9D activation without requirements of an external electron donor. AfLPMO9D is capable of boosting phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose depolymerization via GH7 endoglucanase and cellobiohydrolase. The results of the present study might help to elucidate the role of different LPMOs in cellulosic fiber deconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
