Abstract
Three laccase-encoding cDNAs were cloned from a tobacco stem cDNA libr ary. One of them contains a full length sequence coding for a cationic laccase. The predicted polypeptide sequence shows 48% identity with s ycamore laccase. Amino acid comparisons with other laccases and ascorb ate oxidases have shown that this new plant laccase sequence also cont ains four potential copper binding regions which are highly conserved among the blue copper oxidases.
