Highlights
Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1, monophenol, O-diphenol: oxygen oxidoreductase) is a copper-metalloprotein that is ubiquitously dispensed in nature
Described criteria were used for this study: identification to the species level was defined as >99% identity of the 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene sequence with the sequence of its closest bacterial relative in the GenBank database, and identification at the genus level was defined as >99% identity of the 16S rRNA gene sequence with the sequence of its closest bacterial relative in the GenBank database (Sambrook et al, 1989)
This result was in good agreement with those obtained by Hullo et al (2001) who isolated and studied tyrosinase from B. subtilis
Summary
Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1, monophenol, O-diphenol: oxygen oxidoreductase) is a copper-metalloprotein that is ubiquitously dispensed in nature. Tyrosinase is a bifunctional enzyme and a monooxygenase that catalyzes the O-hydroxylation and subsequent oxidation of monophenols, O-phenols, to quinones (Claus and Decker 2006). Tyrosinase plays an important role in wound healing and the primary immune response of plant life, sponges and many invertebrate (Danial et al, 2018; Decker and Tuczek 2000). It is necessary to synthesize phenolic polymers such as tannins, lignin, and flavonoids. In fungi, this enzyme has crucial importance in virulence and survives reproductive organ differentiation, protection of tissue after infection and spore
