Oxidation of catechol, (+)-catechin, and caffeic acid by the laccase from Trametes versicolor and tyrosinase from Agaricus bisporus

Abstract

Laccase and tyrosinase are copper-containing phenol oxidases, which are known to have multiple roles in nature, such as melanin pigment formation in fungi, microorganisms and animal tissues, transport, uptake and storage of metal ions and enzymatic browning of fruits, and vegetables. In this study, a comparative analysis of the oxidation and polymerization of catechol, (+)-catechin and caffeic acid was analyzed in the presence of laccase from Trametes versicolor and tyrosinase from Agaricus bisporus. Products were first analyzed by HPLC and they were further characterized by LC-ESI/MS. A dimer, a trimer and an oligomer of catechol were observed by laccase but tyrosinase resulted in just a dimer formation. Catechin products from laccase included type-A and type-B dimers, as well as a trimer and a tetramer. Tyrosinase yielded only a type-B dimer from (+)-catechin as well as a trimer and a tetramer. Caffeic acid was oxidized only by laccase, yielding different types of dimers and tetramers. Specificity of laccase and tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation products of the three ortho-diphenolic compounds, catechol, (+)-catechin and caffeic acid were quite different. This might occur because of the difference in the electron transfer system and the radicals produced during the oxidation of phenolic compounds, which were then coupled to give more stable dimer, trimer, tetramers and oligomers
