UniProtKB description:  Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LMPO) that depolymerizes crystalline and amorphous polysaccharides via the oxidation of scissile alpha- or beta-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds, yielding C4 oxidation products (PubMed:23102010, PubMed:24324265, PubMed:24733907, PubMed:30238672, PubMed:31835532, PubMed:35080911, PubMed:36271009, PubMed:26178376). Catalysis by LPMOs requires the reduction of the active-site copper from Cu(II) to Cu(I) by a reducing agent and H(2)O(2) or O(2) as a cosubstrate (PubMed:36271009). Degrades various hemicelluloses, in particular xyloglucan (PubMed:24733907, PubMed:31835532). Active on tamarind xyloglucan and konjac glucomannan (PubMed:26178376). Acts on the glucose backbone of xyloglucan, accepting various substitutions (xylose, galactose) in almost allpositions (PubMed:24733907). In contrast to all previously characterized LPMOs, which are active only on polysaccharides, is able to cleave soluble cello-oligosaccharides as short as a tetramer (PubMed:24324265). The cello-oligosaccharide products released by this enzyme contain a C4 gemdiol/keto group at the non-reducing end (PubMed:24324265). Binds to the inner wood cell wall layer and consumes enzymatically generated H(2)O(2) (PubMed:36271009).
