ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.99.56

Accepted Name
lytic cellulose monooxygenase (C4-dehydrogenating)
Reaction catalysed
[(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]n+m + reduced acceptor + O2 <=> 4-dehydro-beta-D-glucosyl-[(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]n-1 + [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]m + acceptor + H2O
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, found in fungi and bacteria, cleaves cellulose in an oxidative manner.
  • The cellulose fragments that are formed contain a 4-dehydro-D-glucose residue at the non-reducing end.
  • Some enzymes also oxidize cellulose at the C-1 position of the reducing end forming a D-glucono-1,5-lactone residue (cf. EC 1.14.99.54).
