General description

Lysine Oxidase from Trichoderma viride is a homodimeric flavoenzyme corresponding to molecular mass of 112 kDa. It is stable at 65°C and is highly specific for L-lysine substrate. It comprises FAD-binding, substrate binding and a helical domain with distinct active site funnel.

Application

Lysine Oxidase from Trichoderma viride has been used in the preparation of luminescent biochip preparation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysine Oxidase from Trichoderma viride catalyzes the formation of α-keto- ε-aminocaproate by the oxidative deamination of L-lysine. It displays anti-tumor functionality in cancer leukaemic cells. It is a tumor suppressor for squamous cell, fibroblast, ovarian and gastric tumors. Lysine oxidase also plays key role in connective tissue structural integrity and embryo development.

Unit Definition

One unit will catalyze the formation of 1 μmole of 6-amino-2-oxohexanoic acid from L-lysine per min at 37°C at pH 8.0.

This review summarizes data on the properties of L-lysine alpha-oxidase, an enzyme that belongs to the group of oxidases of L-amino acids. This enzyme acts virtually only on L-lysine with a rather low Km yielding alpha-keto-epsilon-aminocaproic acid. The decrease in

A new assay for l-lysine alpha-oxidase is described. In this assay, the oxidized product generated from l-lysine is reacted with semicarbazide to form alpha-keto-epsilon-aminocaproate semicarbazone. Formation of the alpha-keto acid semicarbazone is continuously monitored spectrophotometrically at 248 nm (epsilon 10,160
