Abstract
Laccases are important enzymes for bioremediation and the best-characterised are from the fungus Trametes versicolor. Here, we describe the cloning and characterisation of a new variant of laccase from T. versicolor and its expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have performed a sequence-based analysis of Trametes laccases that leads to a proposal for a new nomenclature of this fungus laccases according to their phylogenetic relationships since their nomenclature based on IPs is ambiguous. We also describe the kinetic properties of the recombinant enzyme.
