The white rot basidiomycete Trametes versicolor
secretes a large number of peroxidases which are believed to be
involved in the degradation of polymeric lignin. These peroxidases have
been classified previously as lignin peroxidases or manganese
peroxidases (MnP). We have isolated a novel extracellular
peroxidase-encoding cDNA sequence from T. versicolor CU1,
the transcript levels of which are repressed by low concentrations of
Mn2+ and induced by nitrogen and carbon but not induced in
response to a range of stresses which have been reported to induce MnP expression.
