Their physiological function is still largely unknown, but a role in the depolymerization of plant cell wall polymers has been widely proposed. Here, a new expression system for bacterial dye-decolorizing peroxidases as well as the activity with previously unexplored plant molecules are reported. The dye-decolorizing peroxidase from Amycolatopsis 75iv2 (DyP2) was heterologously produced in the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces lividans TK24 in both intracellular and extracellular forms without external heme supplementation. The enzyme was tested on a series of O-glycosides, which are plant secondary metabolites with a phenyl glycosidic linkage. O-glycosides are of great interest, both for studying the compounds themselves and as potential models for studying specific lignin-carbohydrate complexes. The primary DyP reaction products of salicin, arbutin, fraxin, naringin, rutin, and gossypin were oxidatively coupled oligomers. A cleavage of the glycone moiety upon radical polymerization was observed when using arbutin, fraxin, rutin, and gossypin as substrates. The amount of released glucose from arbutin and fraxin reached 23% and 3% of the total substrate, respectively. The proposed mechanism suggests a destabilization of the ether linkage due to the localization of the radical in...
