Membrane-Associated Glucose-Methanol-Choline Oxidoreductase Family Enzymes PhcC and PhcD Are Essential for Enantioselective Catabolism of Dehydrodiconiferyl Alcohol [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACT Sphingobium sp. strain SYK-6 is able to degrade various lignin-derived biaryls, including a phenylcoumaran-type compound, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DCA). In SYK-6 cells, the alcohol group of the B-ring side chain of DCA is initially oxidized to the carboxyl group to generate 3-(2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-

Novel NADP-linked alcohol–aldehyde/ketone oxidoreductase in thermophilic ethanologenic bacteria [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1981 An NADP-specific alcohol--aldehyde/ketone oxidoreductase was detected in cell extracts of Thermoanaerobium brockii and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum, but not in Thermobacteroides acetoethylicus or Clostridium thermocellum.

Steroid Oxidoreductase Activity of Alcohol Dehydrogenases from Horse, Rat, and Human Liver. [PDF]
Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 1975 Alcohol dehydrogenase from horse (isoenzyme SS and ES, but not EE), rat and human liver were found to catalyze the NAD-dependent oxidation of 3beta-hydroxy groups in 5alpha- and 5beta-steroids of the C19, C21, and C24 series.

Similarity of Escherichia coli propanediol oxidoreductase (fucO product) and an unusual alcohol dehydrogenase from Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1989 The gene that encodes 1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase (fucO) from Escherichia coli was sequenced. The reading frame specified a protein of 383 amino acids (including the N-terminal methionine), with an aggregate molecular weight of 40,642. The induction of fucO transcription, which occurred in the presence of fucose, was confirmed by Northern blot ...

Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and bifunctional aldehyde–alcohol dehydrogenase are essential for energy metabolism under oxidative stress in Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2010 The in vitro Entamoeba histolytica pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (EhPFOR) kinetic properties and the effect of oxidative stress on glycolytic pathway enzymes and fluxes in live trophozoites were evaluated. EhPFOR showed a strong preference for pyruvate as substrate over other oxoacids.

The microbial oxidation of methanol. The prosthetic group of the alcohol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. M27: a new oxidoreductase prosthetic group [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1967 1. The purified alcohol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. M27, whose action is independent of nicotinamide nucleotides, has absorption peaks at 280mmu and at 350mmu with little or no absorption at or above 450mmu. 2.

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome. Impaired fatty alcohol oxidation in cultured fibroblasts due to deficient fatty alcohol:nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidoreductase activity. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1988 Lipid metabolism was studied in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with the inherited disorder, Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS). Intact SLS fibroblasts incubated in the presence of [1-14C]palmitate accumulated more radioactive hexadecanol than did ...

Alcohol abuse is associated with enhanced pulmonary and systemic xanthine oxidoreductase activity [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2017 Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and devastating disorder. Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) increase ARDS risk and worsen outcomes through mechanisms that may include enhancement of pulmonary oxidative stress. Alcohol consumption increases activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) that contributes to production of both ...
