Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase NCU01050

UniProtKB accession:  Q1K8B6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in cellulosic substrates via a copper-dependent mechanism (PubMed:22004347, PubMed:22188218, PubMed:24350607, PubMed:31431506). In the presence of an exogenous reductant ascorbic acid, degrades phosphoric acid swollen cellulose (PASC) to cello-oligosaccharides and 4-ketoaldoses, the end products oxidized at the non-reducing end (PubMed:22004347, PubMed:22188218, PubMed:24350607). Somewhat active toward tamarind xyloglucan and konjac glucomannan, with improved activity with glucomannan in the presence of PASC (PubMed:31431506). H(2)O(2) is able to substitute for O(2) in reactions with PASC, xyloglucan and glucomannan (PubMed:31431506). Very weak activity on cellopentaose (PubMed:31431506). No activity with birchwood xylan or ivory nut mannan (PubMed:31431506). Disrupts plant cell wall polysaccharide substrates, such as recalcitrant crystalline cellulose (Probable).
