Abstract: 

Laccases are versatile redox-enzymes that oxidize various phenolic
compounds and aromatic amines. Because of the broad substrate
specificity, these enzymes are of interest for many different
biotechnological applications. White-rot fungi are the major source of
laccases. Although basidiomycete species give rise to relatively high
enzyme yields, these might not be optimal for applications.
Basidiomycetous laccases have been reported to show hyper-or
hypo-glycosylation when expressed in ascomycetes. In consequence, enzyme
characteristics were found to be altered. Therefore, we use the
basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea as an organism for laccase
overproduction. We present a vector system for easy and rapid cloning of
promoters and/or genes of interest and show that such constructs can be
functional in laccase production.
