Four laccase isozyme genes, Psc lac1, 2, 3 and 4 have been cloned from the edible mushroom, Pleurotus sajor-caju. The genes display a high degree of homology with other basidiomycete laccases (55-99%) at the amino acid level. Of the laccase genes isolated, Psc lac1 and 4 displayed the highest degree of similarity (85% at the amino acid level), while Psc lac3 showed the highest degree of divergence, exhibiting only 52-57% amino acid similarity to the other PL: sajor-caju laccase gene sequences. Laccase activity in PL: sajor-caju is affected by nutrient nitrogen and carbon, and by the addition of copper and manganese to the growth medium. In addition, 2,5-xylidine, ferulic acid, veratric acid and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole induced laccase activity in the fungus. Induction of individual laccase isozyme genes by carbon, nitrogen, copper, manganese and the two aromatic compounds, 2,5-xylidine and ferulic acid, occurred at the level of gene transcription. While Psc lac3 transcript levels appeared to be constitutively expressed, transcript levels for the other laccase isozyme genes, lac1, 2 and 4, were differentially regulated under the conditions tested.

Enzymes secreted by white rot fungi (WRF), such as laccase, offer a promising approach for the treatment of hazardous xenobiotic compounds. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the pesticides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and chlorpyrifos on the laccase of BAFC 633 through in vitro and bioinformatics analyses. The fungal strain was shown to be tolerant to both pesticides, with notable morphological and ultrastructural alterations in the mycelium.

The genome of encodes multiple laccase isozymes, the expression of which is responsive to various conditions. Here, we set out to investigate the potential of orange peel extract as an inducer of laccase production in this white-rot fungus, in comparison to the previously identified inducing chemical compound, veratryl alcohol. For four geographically distinct strains, a positive correlation has been observed between their oxidative activity and incubation time in liquid cultures.

White-rot fungi differentially express laccases when they encounter aromatic compounds. However, the underlying mechanisms are still being explored. Here, proteomics analysis revealed that in addition to increased laccase activity, proteins involved in sphingolipid metabolism and toluene degradation as well as some cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) were differentially expressed and significantly enriched during 48 h of -toluidine exposure, in AH28-2.
