Distinct laccase expression and activity profiles of Trametes versicolor facilitate degradation of benzo[a]pyrene.

ABSTRACT: A Trametes versicolor isolate from the Changbai Mountain showed promising activity in degrading benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), which is a high molecular weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound. It was hypothesized that the T. versicolor isolate encode BaP-degrading enzymes, among which laccase is mostly sought after due to significant commercial potential. Genome of the T. versicolor isolate was sequenced and assembled, and seven laccase homologues were identified (TvLac1-7) as candidate genes potentially contributing to BaP degradation. In order to further identify the BaP responsive laccases, time-course transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were conducted in parallel on the T. versicolor isolate upon BaP treatment. Homologous laccases showed
