Multicopper oxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of a variety of substrates, including phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. Substrates include 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP) and the non-phenolic compound 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Cannot use guaiacol and catechol. 4 hydroquinone + O2 = 4 benzosemiquinone + 2 H2O Binds 4 copper ions per subunit. Resistant to alkali and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol and acetone. Resistant to EDTA, which might be explained by the spatial protection of copper ions in the active sites. Inhibited by DMSO. Strongly inhibited by Fe(2+) and DTT. Optimum pH is 5.0. Thermostable. Optimum temperature is 70 degrees Celsius. Exhibits efficient decolorization ability towards indigo and crystal violet, which are extensively used in textile industries and biochemical study, suggesting a potential application of this laccase in industrial processes. Belongs to the multicopper oxidase family.
