Abstract

Abstract Background The AA9 (auxiliary activities) family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (AA9 LPMOs) is a ubiquitous and diverse group of enzymes in the fungal kingdom. They catalyse the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in lignocellulose and exhibit great potential for biorefinery applications. Robust, high-throughput and direct methods for assaying AA9 LPMO activity, which are prerequisites for screening LPMOs with excellent properties, are still lacking. Here, we present a gluco-oligosaccharide oxidase (GOOX)-based horseradish peroxidase (HRP) colorimetric method for assaying AA9 LPMO activity. Results We cloned and expressed a GOOX gene from Sarocladium strictum in Trichoderma reesei, purified the recombinant SsGOOX, validated its properties, and developed an SsGOOX-based HRP colorimetric method for assaying cellobiose concentrations. Then, we expressed two AA9 LPMOs from Thielavia terrestris, TtAA9F and TtAA9G, in T. reesei, purified the recombinant proteins, and analysed their product profiles and regioselectivity towards phosphoric acid swollen cellulose (PASC). TtAA9F was characterized as a C1-type (class 1) LPMO, while TtAA9G was characterized as a C4-type (class 2) LPMO. Finally, the SsGOOX-based HRP colorimetric method was used to quantify the total concentration of reducing lytic products from the LPMO reaction, and the activities of both the C1- and C4-type LPMOs were analysed. These LPMOs could be effectively analysed with limits of detection (LoDs) less than 30 nmol/L, and standard curves between the A515 and LPMO concentrations with determination coefficients greater than 0.994 were obtained. Conclusions A novel, sensitive and accurate assay method that directly targets the main activity of both C1- and C4-type AA9 LPMOs was established. This method is easy to use and could be performed on a microtiter plate for high-throughput screening of AA9 LPMOs with desirable properties.
