Unexpected diversity of dye-decolorizing peroxidases.

ABSTRACT: Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP)-type peroxidases are a family of heme-containing peroxidases. Because DyP-type peroxidases can degrade recalcitrant anthraquinone dyes and lignin, their potential applications in the treatment of wastewater containing dyes and lignin degradation are expected. Although many DyP-type peroxidases have been characterized experimentally, most of the reported DyP-type peroxidases are from basidiomycetous fungi and bacteria. Therefore, the taxonomic distribution of the DyP-type peroxidases remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the phylogenetic tree using all DyP-type peroxidase sequences available in the InterPro database. The findings mainly divided this family into three classes. Metazoa and Archaea also have the genes coding for DyP-type peroxidases, and
