However, plant lignin remains an untapped source of materials for production of fuels or high-value chemicals. Biological cleavage of lignin has been well characterized in fungi, in which enzymes that create free radical intermediates are used to degrade this material. In contrast, a catabolic pathway for the stereospecific cleavage of beta-Aryl ether units that are found in lignin has been identified in Sphingobium sp. SYK-6 bacteria. beta-Aryl ether units are typically abundant in lignin, corresponding to 50-70% of all the inter-monomer linkages. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of enzymatic beta-ether cleavage is important for future efforts to biologically process lignin and its breakdown products. The crystal structures and biochemical characterization of the NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LigD, LigO, LigL) and the glutathione-dependent lyase LigG provide new insights into the early and late enzymes in the beta-ether degradation pathway. We present detailed information on the cofactor and substrate binding sites, and on the catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes, comparing them to other known members of their respective families. Information on the Lig enzymes provides new insight into their catalysis mechanisms and can inform future strategies for using aromatic oligomers derived from plant lignin as a source of valuable aromatic compounds for biofuels and other bioproducts.
