Molecular biology of novel glycoprotein participating wood decay and application to degradation of pollutants

白腐菌产生的胞外糖蛋白催化氧化还原反应产生羟基自由基，将Fe（III）还原为Fe（II），并与Fe（II）强结合。当白腐真菌产生至少一种与羟基自由基结合的酚氧化酶时，白腐真菌降解木材。证明了似乎编码这些糖蛋白的DNA序列的分离和表征。木质素模型化合物被糖蛋白羟基化。

White-rot basidiomycetes produce extracellular glycoproteins which catalyze redox reaction to produce hydroxyl radical, reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II), and strongly bind Fe(II). White-rot fungi degrade wood when the fungi produce at least one phenol oxidase in combination with hydroxyl radical. The isolation and characterization of DNA sequences that appear to encode these glycoproteins were demonstrated. Lignin-model compounds were hydroxylated by the glycoproteins.
