Cobalamin Riboswitches Are Broadly Sensitive to Corrinoid Cofactors to Enable an Efficient Gene Regulatory Strategy [PDF]

mBio, 2022
In bacteria, many essential metabolic processes are controlled by riboswitches, gene regulatory RNAs that directly bind and detect metabolites. Highly specific effector binding enables riboswitches to respond to a single biologically relevant metabolite.

T cell subtype profiling measures exhaustion and predicts anti-PD-1 response

Scientific Reports, 2022
Anti-PD-1 therapy can provide long, durable benefit to a fraction of patients. The on-label PD-L1 test, however, does not accurately predict response.

Biological Catalysis and Information Storage Have Relied on N-Glycosyl Derivatives of β-D-Ribofuranose since the Origins of Life

Biomolecules, 2023
Most naturally occurring nucleotides and nucleosides are N-glycosyl derivatives of β-d-ribose. These N-ribosides are involved in most metabolic processes that occur in cells.

Peroxisomal Metabolite and Cofactor Transport in Humans

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles involved in many metabolic pathways and essential for human health. They harbor a large number of enzymes involved in the different pathways, thus requiring transport of substrates, products and cofactors ...

Heterologous Expression of Ethanol Synthesis Pathway in Glycogen Deficient Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 Resulted in Enhanced Production of Ethanol and Exopolysaccharides

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In this study, the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 (hereafter S. elongatus) was engineered by the glgC knockout as well as the insertion of the pdc-adh genes from two different microorganisms.

The metal cofactor zinc and interacting membranes modulate SOD1 conformation-aggregation landscape in an in vitro ALS model

eLife, 2021
Aggregation of Cu–Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is implicated in the motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although more than 140 disease mutations of SOD1 are available, their stability or aggregation behaviors in membrane ...

Protein Engineering for Nicotinamide Coenzyme Specificity in Oxidoreductases: Attempts and Challenges

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Oxidoreductases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze an extensive range of chemical reactions with great specificity, efficiency, and selectivity. Most oxidoreductases are nicotinamide cofactor-dependent enzymes with a strong preference for NADP or NAD ...
