Construction of Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Ethanol and Aldehydes Tolerance via Overexpression of Aldehyde Reductase [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Furfural and hydroxy-methyl-furfural (HMF) are produced by lignocellulosic biomass during heat or acid pretreatment and are toxic to yeast. Aldehyde reductase is the main enzyme to reduce furfural and HMF.

Tolerance to Glutaraldehyde in Escherichia coli Mediated by Overexpression of the Aldehyde Reductase YqhD by YqhC [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Glutaraldehyde is a widely used biocide on the market for about 50 years. Despite its broad application, several reports on the emergence of bacterial resistance, and occasional outbreaks caused by poorly disinfection, there is a gap of knowledge on the ...

Crystal structures and kinetic studies of a laboratory evolved aldehyde reductase explain the dramatic shift of its new substrate specificity [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2023 The Fe2+-dependent E. coli enzyme FucO catalyzes the reversible interconversion of short-chain (S)-lactaldehyde and (S)-1,2-propanediol, using NADH and NAD+ as cofactors, respectively.

Rhodanine-3-acetamide derivatives as aldose and aldehyde reductase inhibitors to treat diabetic complications: synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking and simulation studies [PDF]
BMC Chemistry, 2021 In diabetes, increased accumulation of sorbitol has been associated with diabetic complications through polyol pathway. Aldose reductase (AR) is one of the key factors involved in reduction of glucose to sorbitol, thereby its inhibition is important for ...

Unraveling the metabolic potential and roles of reductases in the omicsynin biosynthetic gene cluster [PDF]
Natural Products and BioprospectingOmicsynins are a group of pseudo-tetrapeptides produced by Streptomyces sp. 1647, which exhibited potent anti-influenza A virus and anti-coronavirus activities. However, its biosynthesis mechanism of C-terminus reduction remains unknown. In this work, we

Are glutathionylated aldehyde reductases the missing piece of the “catecholaldehyde hypothesis” in Parkinson's disease? A medical hypothesis concerning the detoxification of 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL) [PDF]
Redox BiologyThe autotoxicity of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) reaction product 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL) is central to the “catecholaldehyde hypothesis”, which posits that interactions between DOPAL and the protein α-synuclein contribute to the ...

Electrochemical Biosensing of Glucose Based on the Enzymatic Reduction of Glucose
Sensors, 2022 In this work, the enzyme aldehyde reductase, also known as aldose reductase, was synthesized and cloned from a human gene. Spectrophotometric measurements show that in presence of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate cofactor (NADPH), the ...
