Compensatory Mutations in Predicted Metal Transporters Modulate Auxin Conjugate Responsiveness in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Levels of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) can be altered by the formation and hydrolysis of IAA conjugates. The isolation and characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with reduced IAA-conjugate sensitivity and wild-type IAA responses ...

Determination of cephalosporin-C amidohydrolase activity with fluorescamine
Abstract A spectrophotometric procedure for the assay of cephalosporin-C amidohydrolase activity, based on the determination of the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) produced in the hydrolysis of cephalosporin-C by the enzyme, is described. This procedure can be used to detect 7-ACA over a range of 10 to 200 μg mL−1.

Deciphering Physiological Functions of AHL Quorum Quenching Acylases
N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-acylase (also known as amidase or amidohydrolase) is a class of enzyme that belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily. As the name implies, AHL-acylases are capable of hydrolysing AHLs, the most studied signaling molecules ...

The Acylamide Amidohydrolase of Candida utilis: Purification and Properties [PDF]
SUMMARY: The amidohydrolase formed in the later stages of growth on glucose peptone medium by Candida utilis was purified 60-fold from cell-free extracts. The purified enzyme hydrolysed mono- and di-carboxylic acid amides, benzamide, nicotinamide, pyrazinamide and certain β-hydroxyl substituted fatty acid amides, was inactive on l-asparagine and l ...

Activation Energy of Organic Matter Decomposition in Soil and Consequences of Global Warming
Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy necessary for (bio)chemical reactions defining reaction rates, e.g., organic matter transformations in soil. Based on the Ea database of enzyme activities, CO2 production, heat release during soil incubation, and thermal oxidation of soil organic matter, we assess the Ea of biotic and abiotic transformation ...

A sulfoximine-based inhibitor of human asparagine synthetase kills l-asparaginase-resistant leukemia cells. [PDF]
An adenylated sulfoximine transition-state analogue 1, which inhibits human asparagine synthetase (hASNS) with nanomolar potency, has been reported to suppress the proliferation of an l-asparagine amidohydrolase (ASNase)-resistant MOLT-4 leukemia cell ...

ABSTRACT A leaf is an organ composed of different tissues that fulfill specific functions. We hypothesized that since cells in vascular or mesophyll tissues as well as in stoma are developmentally tuned to operate their functions, mitochondria from these cells could exhibit significant metabolic differences.

Characterization of the gene cluster involved in allantoate catabolism and its transcriptional regulation by the RpiR-type repressor HpxU in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Bacteria, fungi, and plants have metabolic pathways for the utilization of nitrogen present in purine bases. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the genes responsible for the assimilation of purine ring nitrogen are distributed in three separated clusters.

ABSTRACT Dormancy release and germination of the seed are two separate, but continuous phases controlled by both external (e.g., light and temperature) and internal (e.g., circadian clock and hormones) cues. In eudicot seeds, the endosperm tissues play a key role in dormancy release and germination through dynamic modulation of wall components and ...
