The invention relates to
laccase as well as a
mutant and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
biology. The
amino acid sequence of the
laccase PnLac1 is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, and the
nucleotide sequence of the
laccase PnLac1 is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The
mutant is characterized in that
aspartic acid at the 166th position of laccase PnLac1 is subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis,
histidine at the 348th position of laccase PnLac1 is subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis,
methionine at the 403th position of laccase PnLac1 is subjected to site-specific
mutagenesis, or
leucine at the 467th position of laccase PnLac1 is subjected to site-specific mutagenesis,
amino acid sequences are shown as SEQ ID NO.4, SEQ ID NO.6, SEQ ID NO.8 and SEQ ID NO.10, and
nucleotide sequences are shown as SEQ ID NO.3, SEQ ID NO.5, SEQ ID NO.7 and SEQ ID NO.9. The decoloring efficiency of the laccase PnLac1 on
crystal violet reaches 5h, and the degradation rate reaches 75%. When the
ABTS is used as a substrate, the
enzyme activities of the laccase mutants H348F and L467M are respectively improved by 1.89 times and 1.65 times, and the
ABTS has the potential of degrading stubborn substances; when
guaiacol is used as a substrate, the
enzyme activities of the laccase mutants D166A and M403F are respectively improved by 2.07 times and 3.72 times, and the
guaiacol has a relatively high application prospect in the field of
lignin.
