Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular fungal flavocytochrome specifically oxidizing cellooligosaccharides and lactose to corresponding (-lactones by a variety of electron acceptors. In contrast to basidiomycetous CDHs, CDHs of ascomycetes also display certain activity toward glucose. The objective of this study was to establish the structural reasons of such an activity of CDH from mesophilic ascomycete Chaetomium sp. INBI 2-26 (ChCDH). The complete amino acid sequence of ChCDH displayed high levels of similarity with the amino acid sequences of CDHs from the thermophilic fungi Thielavia heterotallica and Myriococcum thermophilum. Peptide mass fingerprinting of purified ChCDH provided evidence for the oxidation of methionine residues in the FAD-domain. Comparative homology modeling of the structure of the ChCDH FAD-domain in complex with the transition state analog based on the structure of the same complex of basidiomycetous CDH (1NAA) as template indicated possible structural reasons for the enhanced activity of ascomycetous CDHs toward glucose at neutral pH, which is a prerequisite for application of CDH in a variety of biocompatible biosensors and biofuel cells.

This study explores the effect of carbohydrate-binding module 1 (CBM1) and the linker on the function of auxiliary activity 9 (AA9) lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), with a particular focus on monooxygenase activity, using different crystallinity celluloses and electron donors. The tested C1/C4-oxidizing AA9 LPMOs exhibited higher oxidase and peroxidase activities compared to those of the C4-oxidizing AA9 LPMOs. While the presence of CBM1 promoted cellulose-binding affinity, it reduced the oxidase activity of modular AA9 LPMOs.

The development of an efficient lactose biosensor employing cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) for monitoring and precise control of the lactose levels in dairy-based products is extremely important for the health of lactose-intolerant population. In this study, the mesophilic (Nc_CDH) and thermophilic (Ct_CDH-A, Ct_CDH-B) CDHs were successfully obtained by heterologous expression and treated with α-1,2-mannosidase and endoglycosidase H to prepare the deglycosylated forms (Nc_dCDH, Ct_dCDH-A, and Ct_dCDH-B); then, the effects of deglycosylation on the catalytic activity in solution and electrochemical performance on electrodes for lactose detection were systematically investigated. In solution, Nc_dCDH was more stable and had a higher V value and lower K value than Nc_CDH at different temperatures and pH values.

Background: Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular fungal oxidoreductase with multiple functions in plant biomass degradation. Its primary function as an auxiliary enzyme of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) facilitates the efficient depolymerization of cellulose, hemicelluloses and other carbohydrate-based polymers. The synergistic action of CDH and LPMO that supports biomass-degrading hydrolases holds significant promise to harness renewable resources for the production of biofuels, chemicals, and modified materials in an environmentally sustainable manner.
