Background: White-rot fungi and bacteria communities are unique ecosystems with different types of symbiotic interactions occurring during wood decomposition, such as cooperation, mutualism, nutritional competition, and antagonism. The role of chitin-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) in these symbiotic interactions is the subject of this study. Method: In this study, bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the sequence and structure of putative LPMOs mined by hidden Markov model (HMM) profiles from the bacterial metagenomic DNA database of collected humus samples around white-rot fungi in Cuc Phuong primary forest, Vietnam. Two genes encoding putative LPMOs were expressed in E. coli and purified for enzyme activity assay. Result: Thirty-one full-length proteins annotated as putative LPMOs according to HMM profiles were confirmed by amino acid sequence comparison. The comparison results showed that although the amino acid sequences of the proteins were very different, they shared nine conserved amino acids, including two histidine and one phenylalanine that characterize the H1-Hx-Yz motif of the active site of bacterial LPMOs. Structural analysis of these proteins revealed that they are multidomain proteins with different functions. Prediction of the catalytic domain 3-D structure of these putative LPMOs using Alphafold2 showed that their spatial structures were very similar in shape, although their protein sequences were very different. The results of testing the activity of proteins GL0247266 and GL0183513 show that they are chitin-active LPMOs. Prediction of the 3-D structures of these two LPMOs using Alphafold2 showed that GL0247266 had five functional domains, while GL0183513 had four functional domains, two of which that were similar to the GbpA_2 and GbpA_3 domains of protein GbpA of Vibrio cholerae bacteria. The GbpA_2 - GbpA_3 complex was also detected in 11 other proteins. Based on the structural characteristics of functional domains, it is possible to hypothesize the role of chitin-active GbpA-like LPMOs in the relationship between fungal and bacterial communities coexisting on decomposing trees in primary forests.
