Mitochondrial Thioredoxin System as a Modulator of Cyclophilin D Redox State [PDF]
The mitochondrial thioredoxin system (NADPH, thioredoxin reductase, thioredoxin) is a major redox regulator. Here we have investigated the redox correlation between this system and the mitochondrial enzyme cyclophilin D.

Identification of amino acid residues important for the phosphomannose isomerase activity of PslB in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 [PDF]
Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) plays a pivotal role in biosynthesis of GDP‐mannose, an important precursor of many polysaccharides. We demonstrate in this study that Pseudomonas aeruginosa pslB encodes a protein with GDP‐mannose pyrophosphorylase/PMI dual activities.

Development of a selection system for the detection of L-ribose isomerase expressing mutants of Escherichia coli [PDF]
L-Arabinose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.14) catalyzes the reversible isomerization between L-arabinose and L-ribulose and is highly selective towards L-arabinose.

The Amino Acid Sequence of Δ5-3-Ketosteroid Isomerase of Pseudomonas testosteroni
Abstract The primary structure of the identical subunits of crystalline Δ5-3-ketosteroid isomerase (EC 5.3.3.1) of Pseudomonas testosteroni has been determined by standard procedures to be the following: [see PDF for sequence] Thus, each subunit consists of a single polypeptide chain of 125 amino acid residues.

The putative proteinase maturation protein A of Streptococcus pneumoniae is a conserved surface protein with potential to elicit protective immune responses [PDF]
Surface-exposed proteins often play an important role in the interaction between pathogenic bacteria and their host. We isolated a pool of hydrophobic, surface-associated proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Human triose-phosphate isomerase deficiency: a single amino acid substitution results in a thermolabile enzyme. [PDF]
Triose-phosphate isomerase (TPI; D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1) deficiency is a recessive disorder that results in hemolytic anemia and neuromuscular dysfunction. To determine the molecular basis of this disorder, a TPI allele from two unrelated patients homozygous for TPI deficiency was compared with an allele from a normal ...

The Amino Acid Composition of Crystalline Δ5-3-Ketosteroid Isomerase and Its Tryptic Peptides
Abstract The amino acid composition of crystalline Δ5-3-ketosteroid isomerase of Pseudomonas testosteroni is consistent with the formula Asp38, Thr21, Ser16, Glu38, Pro15, Gly29, Ala68, Val45, Met8, Ile12, Leu26, Tyr9, Phe25, Lys13, His9, Arg22. Eleven distinct peptides have been obtained after digestion of the heated enzyme by trypsin.
