摘要:

裂解性多糖单加氧酶(lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, LPMO)能通过氧化裂解的方式断裂纤维素等多糖链的糖苷键,与糖苷水解酶协同降解木质纤维素时,可以显著提升产糖效率,在木质纤维素生物质转化中具有重要作用。其中,真菌来源的AA9家族LPMO凭借其优异的氧化活性和广泛的底物谱,在食品、能源及材料等领域展现出广阔的应用前景。本文系统综述了AA9家族LPMO的来源及功能的多样性,指出不同来源的LPMO对糖苷水解酶的协同促进效果、底物降解类型存在显著差异;对其结构进行深入分析发现,催化结构域表面的Loop区对底物的识别、结合以及氧化区域的选择起着核心调控作用;除此之外,在双结构域的LPMO中,CBM结构域也会对LPMO结合底物的过程产生重要影响。同时,本文还对MALDI-TOF-MS、HPAEC-PAD及基于显色反应等多种酶活测定方法的原理与适用范围进行分析比较,发现色谱‒质谱联用策略是目前定量分析LPMO氧化产物的最主要的方法之一。最后,本文详细总结了LPMO在食品加工、生物能源及纳米纤维素制备等领域展现出的应用潜力。因此,通过LPMO酶资源的挖掘或酶分子改良获得更多适合工业生产应用的新型酶制剂是目前研究工作的重要方向。深入剖析了当前AA9家族LPMO研究在酶资源功能表征、底物特异性分子机制解析以及实际应用效率提升等方面存在的关键技术问题,并针对性地提出了结合宏基因组学挖掘新酶、融合结构预测与机器学习解析底物选择性、针对不同预处理工艺开展酶分子定向改造等未来研究方向与策略建议。

Abstract:

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can cleave glycosidic bonds in polysaccharide chains such as cellulose through oxidative cleavage. When acting synergistically with glycoside hydrolases in lignocellulose degradation, LPMOs significantly enhance sugar release efficiency, playing a crucial role in lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Among them, fungal LPMOs from the AA9 family exhibit broad substrate spectra and excellent oxidative activity, demonstrating great application potential in the food, energy, and materials industries. This review systematically summarizes the diversity of sources and functions of AA9 family LPMOs, highlighting that LPMOs from different origins exhibit marked differences in their promoting effects on glycoside hydrolases and substrate degradation patterns. In-depth structural analysis reveals that the Loop regions on the surface of the catalytic domain play a central regulatory role in substrate recognition, binding, and regioselectivity of oxidation. Additionally, in multi-domain LPMOs, the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) significantly influences the process of substrate binding. Furthermore, this review compares the principles and applicability of various activity measurement methods, including MALDI-TOF-MS, HPAEC-PAD, and colorimetric assays, indicating that combined chromatography-mass spectrometry strategies are among the most widely used approaches for the quantitative analysis of LPMO oxidation products. Finally, the considerable application potential of LPMOs in food processing, bioenergy, and nanocellulose preparation is discussed in detail. Therefore, the discovery of novel LPMO enzymes or the molecular engineering of existing ones to obtain new enzyme preparations more suitable for industrial applications is an important direction for current research. Moreover, this review deeply analyzes the key technical challenges in current AA9 family LPMO research, including functional characterization of enzyme resources, elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying substrate specificity, and improvement of practical application efficiency. Targeted future research directions and strategic suggestions are proposed, such as mining novel enzymes using metagenomics, integrating structural prediction and machine learning to analyze substrate selectivity, and performing targeted enzyme molecular engineering tailored to different pretreatment processes. This review aims to provide a theoretical reference for the development, application, and molecular engineering of AA9 family LPMOs.
