Abstract

The coding sequence of a laccase isozyme from Trametes sp. AH28-2 was cloned in pPIC9K vector and heterologously overexpressed in the yeast Pichiapastoris strain GS115. In the minimal medium containing 0.3 mM CuSO4 and 0.6% alanine, the maximum yield of the recombinant laccase rLacB reached 32,000 U/l (1,012 U/mg), slightly higher than that of the native enzyme nLacB (∼30,000 U/l, 1,356 U/mg). The enzymatic properties of rLacB were different from those of nLacB as well. Regardless of the inferior thermal stability, rLacB had much better stability at both neutral and basic pH range compared to nLacB. In addition, the dye decolorization potential of rLacB was similar to that of nLacB.
