Key points

  • Two cDNAs encoding the minor laccase isozymes (Lac2 and Lac3) of Grifola frondosa were cloned, characterized, and expressed in Pichia pastoris
  • The recombinant Lac2 (rLac2) was stable at pH 6.0, whereas the recombinant Lac3 (rLac3) was stable in a broad pH range (pH 4.0-8.0)
  • In addition, rLac2 and rLac3 showed the highest catalytic efficiency (k cat /K m ) for 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)
