Some protein positions play special roles in determining the magnitude of protein function: at such “rheostat” positions, varied amino acid substitutions give rise to a continuum of functional outcomes, from wild type (or enhanced), to intermediate, to ...

Aldolase A deficiency: Report of new cases and literature review
Aldolase A (ALDOA), is the predominant isoform of aldolase in skeletal muscle and erythrocytes that catalyzes the reversibleconversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Characterization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase during anoxia in the tolerant turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans: an assessment of enzyme activity, expression and structure. [PDF]
One of the most adaptive facultative anaerobes among vertebrates is the freshwater turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. Upon a decrease in oxygen supply and oxidative phosphorylation, these turtles are able to reduce their metabolic rate and recruit ...

A Rationally Designed Aldolase Foldamer [PDF]
Current strategies for creating enzyme-like catalysts range from rational[1] and computational design[2] to evolutionary searches of large molecular libraries.[3] Sequence-specific polymers are particularly attractive starting points for these efforts because of their ability to adopt three-dimensional structures that preorganize functional groups for ...

Structures, characteristics and functions of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase in various tissues
Aldolase exhibits multiple functions in a variety of organisms, including fungi, unicellular algae and plants, and so on. Furthermore, different isoforms of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) exhibit significantly different characteristics and ...

A deeply branching thermophilic bacterium with an ancient acetyl-CoA pathway dominates a subsurface ecosystem [PDF]
A nearly complete genome sequence of Candidatus ‘Acetothermum autotrophicum’, a presently uncultivated bacterium in candidate division OP1, was revealed by metagenomic analysis of a subsurface thermophilic microbial mat community.

A new intermediate of the aldolase reaction, the pyruvaldehyde-aldolase-orthophosphate complex [PDF]
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from rabbit muscle forms by reaction with dihydroxyacetone phosphate a pyruvaldehyde-aldolase-orthophosphate complex that is in equilibrium with the eneamine intermediate. The new intermediate accumulates in two phases.

LOXL2-dependent deacetylation of aldolase A induces metabolic reprogramming and tumor progression
Lysyl-oxidase like-2 (LOXL2) regulates extracellular matrix remodeling and promotes tumor invasion and metastasis. Altered metabolism is a core hallmark of cancer, however, it remains unclear whether and how LOXL2 contributes to tumor metabolism.

Asymmetric Conjugate Hydrocyanation of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes Catalyzed by Engineered 2-Deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate Aldolase. [PDF]
The power of catalytic promiscuity: The enantioselective conjugate hydrocyanation of enals remains a long‐standing challenge for biocatalysis. Here, we report the redesign of 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose‐5‐phosphate aldolase for the asymmetric conjugate hydrocyanation of aromatic enals, expanding the reaction scope of iminium‐based enzyme catalysis to include an ...

Nuclear localization of aldolase A correlates with cell proliferation.
Muscle fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (ALDA) is a glycolytic enzyme which may localize both in nuclei and cytoplasm of cells, however its role in the nuclei is unclear. Here, we demonstrate the links between subcellular localization of ALDA and the cell cycle progression as well as the availability of energetic substrates.
