abstract = {Multicopper oxidases are promiscuous biocatalysts with
great potential for the production of industrial compounds.
This study is focused on the elucidation of the
structure–function determinants of a novel laccase-like
multicopper oxidase from the thermophilic fungus
Thermothelomyces thermophila (TtLMCO1), which is capable of
oxidizing both ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds and thus
is functionally categorized between the ascorbate oxidases
and fungal ascomycete laccases (asco-laccases). The crystal
structure of TtLMCO1, determined using an AlphaFold2 model
due to a lack of experimentally determined structures of
close homologues, revealed a three-domain laccase with two
copper sites, lacking the C-terminal plug observed in other
asco-laccases. Analysis of solvent tunnels highlighted the
amino acids that are crucial for proton transfer into the
trinuclear copper site. Docking simulations showed that the
ability of TtLMCO1 to oxidize ortho-substituted phenols
stems from the movement of two polar amino acids at the
hydrophilic side of the substrate-binding region, providing
structural evidence for the promiscuity of this enzyme.},
