Revised Manuscript Received August 27, 1990 abstract: Veratryl alcohol (3, 4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol) appears to have multiple roles in lignin degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. It is synthesized de novo by the fungus. It apparently induces expression of lignin peroxidase (LiP), and it protects LiP from inactivation by H202. In addition, veratryl alcohol has been shownto potentiate LiP oxidation of compounds that are not good LiP substrates. We have now observed the formation of Mn3+ in reaction mixtures containing LiP, Mn2+, veratryl alcohol, malonate buffer, H202, and 02. No Mn3+ was formed if veratryl alcohol or H202 was omitted. Mn3+ formation also showed an absolute requirementfor oxygen, and oxygen consumption was observed in the reactions. This suggests involvement of active oxygen species. In experiments using oxalate (a metabolite of P. chrysosporium) instead of malonate, similar results were obtained. However, in this case, we detected (by ESR spin-trapping) the production of carbon dioxide anion radical (C02*~) and perhydroxyl radical () in reaction mixtures containing LiP, oxalate, veratryl alcohol, H202, and 02. Our data indicate the formation of oxalate radical, which decays to C02 and C02 ‘“. The latter reacts with 02 to form 02*~, which then oxidizes Mn2+ to Mn3+. No radicals were detected in the absence of veratryl alcohol. These results indicate that LiP can indirectly oxidize Mn2+ and that veratryl alcohol is probably a radical mediator in thissystem. tjfxtracellular enzymes associated with lignin degradation by the basidiomycetous fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium are lignin peroxidase (LiP), 1 manganese peroxidase (MnP), and the H202-generating enzyme glyoxal oxidase (Kirk & Farrell, 1987). LiP oxidizes aromatic nuclei of lignin to cation radicals that react nonenzymatically, resulting incleavages in both the aliphatic side chains and the aromatic nuclei. MnP, related to LiP, oxidizes Mn2+ to Mn3+. Mn3+ can oxidize phenolic units of lignin and has been suggested also to be involved in lignin fragmentation (Wariishi et al., 1989). In addition to these enzymes, an aromatic metabolite, 3, 4-dimethoxybenzyl (veratryl) alcohol, seems to be a component of the ligninolytic system of P. chrysosporium. Veratryl alcohol apparently has multiple roles in lignin biodegradation. It stimulates production of LiP (Faison & Kirk, 1985), and it protects LiP from inactivation by H202 (Tonon & Odier, 1988). It also has been shown to potentiate LiP oxidation of compounds that are not good LiP substrates (Harvey et al., 1986).We have now found thatLiP in the presence of veratryl alcohol, malonic or oxalic acid, and oxygen oxidizes Mn2+ to Mn3+. These results provide further evidence that veratryl alcohol functions in part as an electron transfer agent or mediator of oxidations of non-LiP substrates. Because oxalate is a normal metabolite of P. chrysosporium, it is possible that LiP, like MnP, oxidizesMn2+ under physiological conditions. Experimental Procedures
