Biosynthetic Enzymes of Tetrahydrolimipterin from Green Sulfur Bacterium Chlorobium Limicola
Based on the structure of limipterin (Cha, Pfleiderer, and Yim, Helv, Chim. Acta, 78: 600-614. 1995 the biosynthetic pathway for the newly identified pterin glycoside was investigated. It was demonstrated that tetrahydrolimipterin (H4 -limipterin) can be

Diagnosis of tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency using filter paper blood spots: further development of the method and 5 years experience [PDF]
In every newborn with even mild hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies need to be excluded as soon as possible. Differential diagnosis is most commonly performed by analysis of urinary neopterin and biopterin.

A unique dual activity amino acid hydroxylase in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
The genome of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii was found to contain two genes encoding tyrosine hydroxylase; that produces L-DOPA. The encoded enzymes metabolize phenylalanine as well as tyrosine with substrate preference for tyrosine.

Hippo Pathway Drives Durable Non‐Cell‐Autonomous Ferroptosis Resistance in Lung Cancer
YAP/TAZ, key effectors in lung cancer progression, paradoxically sensitize tumor cells to ferroptosis. This study reveals that YAP/TAZ‐low cells confer non‐cell‐autonomous, GCH1‐mediated durable ferroptosis resistance to neighboring YAP/TAZ‐high cells via a soluble factor, highlighting a Hippo pathway‐linked mechanism of tumor adaptation and survival ...

Increasing Tetrahydrobiopterin in Cardiomyocytes Adversely Affects Cardiac Redox State and Mitochondrial Function Independently of Changes in NO Production [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) represents a potential strategy for the treatment of cardiac remodeling, fibrosis and/or diastolic dysfunction. The effects of oral treatment with BH4 (Sapropterin™ or Kuvan™) are however dose-limiting with high dose negating ...

The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Plasma Nitrate and Pteridine Levels in Experimental Bacteremia in Baboons
Using a recently developed model of bacterially induced sepsis in baboons, we studied the time courses of pteridine and nitrate levels in plasma with regard to the dose of Escherichia coli. Eight animals were given a 2 h infusion of 2X 10" Colony Forming

First Synthesis of Asperopterin A, an Isoxanthopterin Glycoside from Aspergillus Oryzae [PDF]
The key precursor, N-2-(N,N -dimethylaminomethylene)-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methyl-3-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-7-xanthopterin (16) was efficiently prepared from 2,5-diamino-6-methylamino-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (5) and ethyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2 ...
