Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine‐containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines normally would. Guanidine may act as a signal to help cells control the level of reactive oxygen species.

Updated safety evaluation of the food enzyme AMP deaminase from the non‐genetically modified Streptomyces murinus strain AE‐DNTS

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The food enzyme AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.6) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Streptomyces murinus strain AE‐DNTS by Amano Enzyme Inc. In a previous evaluation, the Panel could not conclude on the safety of this food enzyme due to uncertainties on the characterisation of the food enzyme batches for ...

Breeding for plant‐based proteins in pulse and legume crops: Perspectives, challenges and opportunities

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme AMP deaminase from the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus pallidofulvus strain AE‐DN

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The food enzyme AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.6) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus pallidofulvus strain AE‐DN by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme was free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in the processing of yeast and yeast products.

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 11, June 3, 2025.
This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...

Study of Adenine Aminohydrolase in the Yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1971
Observation of the growth of some adenineless mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe on six substituted purine analogs leads to the hypothesis that an enzyme is present which catalyzes the conversion of these analogs into hypoxanthine. The enzyme adenase (adenine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.2) has been found to be active
