Laccases with Variable Properties from Different Strains of Steccherinum ochraceum: Does Glycosylation Matter?

ABSTRACT: Laccases are blue multi-copper oxidases with an extensive number of actual and potential industrial applications. It is known that laccases from different fungal strains may vary in properties; however, the reason of this remains unclear. In the current study we have isolated and characterized seven laccases from different strains of Steccherinum ochraceum obtained from regions of central Russia. Although all seven laccases had the same primary sequences, there was a little variation in their molecular weights and thermostabilities. Moreover, statistically significant differences in laccases' catalytic parameters of oxidation of phenolic substrates and ABTS were observed. After the deglycosylation of four selected laccases by Endo H and PNGase F, their affinities to pyrocatechol and
