Abstract

Significance: The discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has profoundly changed our understanding of the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as cellulose. Although in-depth studies of fungal cellulolytic LPMOs have been reported, the structures and functions of their bacterial counterparts with no detectable sequence similarity remain largely elusive. We present the structures of a conserved pair of bacterial cellulose-active LPMOs supplemented with extensive functional characterization. The structural data allow a thorough comparative assessment of fungal and bacterial LPMOs, providing insight into the structural basis of substrate specificity and the oxidative mechanism (C1/C4 oxidation). Importantly, we show that this LPMO pair acts synergistically when degrading cellulose, a finding that may help explain the occurrence of multiple LPMOs in a single microbe.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
