General Properties

Enzymes from the CAZy family AA5 are mononuclear copper-radical oxidases (CRO) that perform catalysis independently of complex organic cofactors such as FAD or NADP and use oxygen as their electron acceptor (EC 1.1.3.-).Family AA5 enzymes are classified in two subfamilies: subfamily AA5_1 contains characterized glyoxal oxidases (EC 1.2.3.15) [1] and subfamily AA5_2 contains galactose oxidases (EC 1.1.3.9) [2], as well as the more recently discovered raffinose oxidases [3, 4], aliphatic alcohol oxidases (EC 1.1.3.13) [4, 5, 6] and aryl alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.7) [7, 8].

The most studied enzyme in subfamily AA5_1 is the glyoxal oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium discovered in 1987 [9]. For subfamily AA5_2, the archetypal galactose-6 oxidase from Fusarium graminearum (FgrGalOx) was first reported in 1959 from cultures of Polyporus circinatus (later renamed Fusarium graminearum [10, 11]. While this first report already established FgrGalOx as a metalloenzyme; its copper requirement was later confirmed [12]. Until 2015 the characterized enzymes from the AA5_2 subfamily were found to exhibit mainly galactose oxidase activity, but since then novel non-carbohydrate oxidase enzymes were found [4, 5, 6, 7, 8].

Three-dimensional structures

AA5 share a seven-bladed β-propeller fold [5, 7, 15] as the catalytic domain containing the active site. The archetypal FgrGalOx contains three domains: domain 1 has a “β sandwich” structure identified as a carbohydrate binding module (CBM32 REF CMB32 PAGE) with affinity for galactose, domain 2 is the catalytic domain and domain 3 is the smallest, which forms a hydrogen bonding network to stabilize domain 2 [15]. Other characterized AA5_2 enzymes from Fusarium species contain CBM32 [4, 16, 17, 18], even though some do not display canonical galactose oxidase activity (ex. FgrAAO and FoxAAO) [4, 8].

In contrast, CgrAlcOx, CglAlcOx and ChiAlcOx do not poses any CBM [5, 6], while CgrAAO and CgrRafOx have a PAN domain present instead [3, 7]. PorAlcOx contained a WSC domain that was able to bind xylans and fungal chitin/β-1,3-glucan, implicating the domains involvement in enzyme anchoring on the plant surface [6]. In addition, the fusion of a galactose oxidase with a CBM29 has shown an increase in catalytic efficiency of the construct on galactose-containing hemicelluloses compared to WT [19].
