Laccase
From Proteopedia
|
CotA laccase belong to the multi-copper oxidase family. The multi-copper oxidases constitute a family of enzymes whose principal members are laccase (benzenediol oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2), ascorbate oxidase (L-ascorbate oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.3) and ceruloplasmin (Fe(II) oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.16.3.1). Similar to the other laccases the three dimensional struture of CotA 1w6l comprises three cupredoxin domain and four copper ions organised in : a and
The trinuclear center has two type 3 copper ions, that can be anti-ferromagnetically coupled through an hydroxyl moiety in between them, and one type 2 copper ion.‡ The mononuclear copper is able to accept an electron froma variety of phenolic substrates and then transmits it to the trinuclear centre.
