Abstract
Abstract: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) play an important role in the degradation of complex polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass. In the present study, we characterized a modular LPMO (PcAA10A), consisting of a family 10 auxiliary activity of LPMO (AA10) catalytic domain, and non-catalytic domains including a family 5 carbohydrate-binding module, two fibronectin type-3 domains, and a family 3 carbohydrate-binding module from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6, which was expressed in a recombinant Escherichia coli. Comparison of activities between full-length PcAA10A and the catalytic domain polypeptide (PcAA10A_CD) indicates that the non-catalytic domains are important for the deconstruction of crystalline cellulose and complex polysaccharides contained in untreated lignocellulosic biomass. Interestingly, PcAA10A_CD acted not only on cellulose and chitin, but also on xylan, mannan, and xylan and cellulose contained in lignocellulosic biomass, which has not been reported for the AA10 family. Mutation of the key residues, Trp51 located at subsite − 2 and Phe171 located at subsite +2, in the substrate-binding site of PcAA10A_CD revealed that these residues are substantially involved in broad substrate specificity toward cellulose, xylan, and mannan, albeit with a low effect toward chitin. Furthermore, PcAA10A had a boosting effect on untreated corn hull degradation by P. curdlanolyticus B-6 endo-xylanase Xyn10D and Clostridium thermocellum endo-glucanase Cel9A. These results suggest that PcAA10A is a unique LPMO capable of cleaving and enhancing lignocellulosic biomass degradation, making it a good candidate for biotechnological applications. Key points: • PcAA10A is a novel modular LPMO family 10 from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus. • PcAA10A showed broad substrate specificity on β-1,4 glycosidic linkage substrates. • Non-catalytic domains are important for degrading complex polysaccharides. • PcAA10A is a unique LPMO capable of enhancing lignocellulosic biomass degradation. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
