Résumé
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes which catalyze the oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. LPMOs belonging to family 15 in the Auxiliary Activity (AA) class from the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme database are found widespread across the Tree of Life, including viruses, algae, oomycetes and animals. Recently, two AA15s from the firebrat Thermobia domestica were reported to have oxidative activity, one towards cellulose or chitin and the other towards chitin, signalling that AA15 LPMOs from insects potentially have different biochemical functions. Herein, we report the identification and characterization of two family AA15 members from the lower termite Coptotermes gestroi. Addition of Cu(II) to CgAA15a or CgAA15b had a thermostabilizing effect on both. Using ascorbate and O
