In this study, the major secretome components of Penicillium oxalicum 16 and Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 under wheat bran (WB) and rice straw (RS) solid-state fermentation were systematically analyzed. The activities of the major components, e.g., cellulase, hemicellulase, and amylase, were consistent with their abundance in the secretomes. P. oxalicum 16 secreted more abundant glycoside hydrolases than T. reesei RUT-C30. The main up-regulated proteins from the induction of WB, compared with that from RS, were amylase, pectinase, and protease, whereas the main down-regulated enzymes were cellulase, hemicellulase, swollenin, and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO). Specifically, WB induced more β-1,4-glucosidases, namely, S8B0F3 (UniProt ID), and A0A024RWA5 than RS, but RS induced more β-1,4-exoglucanases and β-1,4-endoglucanases, namely, A0A024RXP8, A024SH76, S7B6D6, S7ZP52, A024SH20, A024S2H5, S8BGM3, S7ZX22, and S8AIJ2. The P. oxalicum 16 xylanases S8AH74 and S7ZA57 were the major components responsible for degrading soluble xylan, and S8BDN2 probably acted on solid-state hemicellulose instead of soluble xylan. The main hemicellulase component of T. reesei RUT-C30 in RS was the xyloglucanase A0A024S9Z6 with an abundance of 16%, but T. reesei RUT-C30 lacked the hemicellulase mannanase and had a small amount of the hemicellulase xylanase. P. oxalicum 16 produced more amylase than T. reesei RUT-C30, and the results suggest amylase S7Z6T2 may degrade soluble starch. The percentage of the glucoamylase S8B6D7 did not significantly change, and reached an average abundance of 5.5%. The major auxiliary degradation enzymes of P. oxalicum 16 were LPMOs S7Z716 and S7ZPW1, whereas those of T. reesei RUT-C30 were swollenin and LPMOs A0A024SM10, A0A024SFJ2, and A0A024RZP7.

ABSTRACTFungi secrete a set of glycoside hydrolases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) to degrade plant polysaccharides. Brown-rot fungi, such asGloeophyllum trabeum, tend to have few LPMOs, and information on these enzymes is scarce. The genome ofG. trabeumencodes four auxiliary activity 9 (AA9) LPMOs (GtLPMO9s), whose coding sequences were amplified from cDNA. Due to alternative splicing, two variants ofGtLPMO9A seem to be produced, a single-domain variant,GtLPMO9A-1, and a longer variant,GtLPMO9A-2, which contains a C-terminal domain comprising approximately 55 residues without a predicted function. We have overexpressed the phylogenetically distinctGtLPMO9A-2 inPichia pastorisand investigated its properties. Standard analyses using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography–pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) and mass spectrometry (MS) showed thatGtLPMO9A-2 is active on cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and xyloglucan. Importantly, compared to other known xyloglucan-active LPMOs,GtLPMO9A-2 has broad specificity, cleaving at any position along the β-glucan backbone of xyloglucan, regardless of substitutions. Using dynamic viscosity measurements to compare the hemicellulolytic action ofGtLPMO9A-2 to that of a well-characterized hemicellulolytic LPMO,NcLPMO9C fromNeurospora crassarevealed thatGtLPMO9A-2 is more efficient in depolymerizing xyloglucan. These measurements also revealed minor activity on glucomannan that could not be detected by the analysis of soluble products by HPAEC-PAD and MS and that was lower than the activity ofNcLPMO9C. Experiments with copolymeric substrates showed an inhibitory effect of hemicellulose coating on cellulolytic LPMO activity and did not reveal additional activities ofGtLPMO9A-2. These results provide insight into the LPMO potential ofG. trabeumand provide a novel sensitive method, a measurement of dynamic viscosity, for monitoring LPMO activity.IMPORTANCECurrently, there are only a few methods available to analyze end products of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) activity, the most common ones being liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Here, we present an alternative and sensitive method based on measurement of dynamic viscosity for real-time continuous monitoring of LPMO activity in the presence of water-soluble hemicelluloses, such as xyloglucan. We have used both these novel and existing analytical methods to characterize a xyloglucan-active LPMO from a brown-rot fungus. This enzyme,GtLPMO9A-2, differs from previously characterized LPMOs in having broad substrate specificity, enabling almost random cleavage of the xyloglucan backbone.GtLPMO9A-2 acts preferentially on free xyloglucan, suggesting a preference for xyloglucan chains that tether cellulose fibers together. The xyloglucan-degrading potential ofGtLPMO9A-2 suggests a role in decreasing wood strength at the initial stage of brown rot through degradation of the primary cell wall.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) is a newly discovered and widely studied enzyme in recent years. These enzymes play a key role in the depolymerization of sugar-based biopolymers (including cellulose, hemicellulose, chitin and starch), and have a positive significance for biomass conversion. LPMO is a copper-dependent enzyme that can oxidize and cleave glycosidic bonds in cellulose and other polysaccharides. Their mechanism of action depends on the correct coordination of copper ions in the active site. There are still difficulties in the analysis of LPMO activity, which often requires multiple methods to be used in concert. In this review, we discussed various LPMO activity analysis methods reported so far, including mature mass spectrometry, chromatography, labeling, and indirect measurements, and summarized the advantages, disadvantages and applicability of different methods.

This review focuses on the enzymatic breakdown of chitin, taking into account the latest scientific reports on the activity of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO). Chitin is a natural, abundant polysaccharide of great practical importance in the environment. However, the insolubility in water and the tightly packed crystalline structure of chitin pose a serious obstacle to enzymatic degradation. This substrate can be converted into soluble sugars by the action of glycosidic hydrolases (GH), also known as chitinases. LPMO could prove to be helpful in enzymatic processes that increase the rate of chitin depolymerisation by improving the availability of substrates for chitinases. The unique action of LPMO is based on the ability to catalyse the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic chains present in complex, resistant crystal networks of chitin, and this cleavage facilitates the subsequent action of glycolytic hydrolases.
