Aryl-alcohol oxidase provides H2O2 for lignin biodegradation, a key pro-cess for carbon recycling in land ecosystems that is also of great biotechno-logical interest. However, little is known of the structural determinants of the catalytic activity of this fungal flavoenzyme, which oxidizes a variety of polyunsaturated alcohols. | ễFEBS Journal Site-directed mutagenesis of selected residues at the active site of aryl-alcohol oxidase an H2O2-producing ligninolytic enzyme Patricia Ferreira1 Francisco J.

However little is known of the structural determinants of the catalytic activity of this fungal flavoenzyme which oxidizes a variety of polyunsaturated alcohols. Different alcohol substrates were docked on the aryl-alcohol oxidase molecular structure and six amino acid residues surrounding the putative substrate-binding site were chosen for site-directed mutagenesis modification. Several Pleurotus eryngii aryl-alcohol oxidase variants were purified to homogeneity after heterologous expression in Emericella nidulans and characterized in terms of their steady-state kinetic properties. Two histidine residues His502 and His546 are strictly required for aryl-alcohol oxidase catalysis as shown by the lack of activity of different variants. This fact together with their location near the isoalloxazine ring of FAD suggested a contribution to catalysis by alcohol activation enabling its oxidation by flavin-adenine .
