β¦ Synopsis
In Podospora anserina three laccase activities (I, II and III) were identified. Present results show the existence of an additional laccase (an anodic protein; MW 80,000; Rf 0.07). Laccase IV derived from the dissociation at acid pH (4.5) of a protein which showed identical molecular weight (390,000) and Rf (0.1) to the oligomeric laccase I. The recovery of laccase I activity when starting from ]accase IV (purified by means of isoelectric focusing) suggests that laccase I itself was the source oflaccase IV. In turn, laccase IV gave rise to the laccase III after electrophoresis or dialysis at basic pH (8.5).
