Membrane-Associated Glucose-Methanol-Choline Oxidoreductase Family Enzymes PhcC and PhcD Are Essential for Enantioselective Catabolism of Dehydrodiconiferyl Alcohol [PDF]
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)-

Genomic analysis of Burkholderia sp. ISTR5 for biofunneling of lignin-derived compounds
Background Lignin is the second most abundant natural polymer on earth. Industries using lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock generate a considerable amount of lignin as a byproduct with minimal usage.

Mining for carbohydrate-active oxidoreductases in CAZyme family AA3
Hemicelluloses, particularly xylans, are a significant component of lignocellulosic biomass, and they constitute up to 50% of its composition in both grasses and deciduous trees.

Similarity of Escherichia coli propanediol oxidoreductase (fucO product) and an unusual alcohol dehydrogenase from Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
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 ...

Asymmetric reduction of diketones by two Gluconobacter oxydans oxidoreductases
Two genes encoding recombinant cytosolic oxidoreductases from Gluconobacter oxydans, gox0313 and gox0646, were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and the resulting proteins were purified and characterized.

Stereoselective enzymatic reduction of 1,4-diaryl-1,4-diones to the corresponding diols employing alcohol dehydrogenases [PDF]
Due to the steric hindrance of the starting prochiral ketones, the preparation of chiral 1,4-diaryl-1,4-diols through the asymmetric hydrogen transfer reaction has been mainly restricted to the use of metal-based catalysts, oxazaborolidines, or ...

The microbial oxidation of methanol. The prosthetic group of the alcohol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. M27: a new oxidoreductase prosthetic group [PDF]
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. It does not fluoresce, but green-fluorescent material, diffusible on dialysis, is produced when the enzyme is treated with acid or alkali ...

Supramolecular regulation of the activity of some oxidoreductases in the norm and pathology
Regulation metabolism in a cell is realised by enzymes arranged into supramolecular complexes. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are involved into formation of various supramolecular complexes.
