AA9 family lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase A

UniProtKB accession:  G3XAP7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) that depolymerizes crystalline and amorphous polysaccharides via the oxidation of scissile alpha- or beta-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds, yielding C1 and C4 oxidation product (PubMed:21876164, PubMed:29971843, Ref.4). Catalysis by LPMOs requires the reduction of the active-site copper from Cu(II) to Cu(I) by a reducing agent and H(2)O(2) or O(2) as a cosubstrate (PubMed:21876164, PubMed:29971843, Ref.4). Is able to cleave cellulose and xylan to produce C1- and C4-oxidized products (Ref.4).
