Molecules, 2015 DNA methyltransferases (MTases) catalyze the transfer of the activated methyl group of the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet or SAM) to the exocyclic amino groups of adenine or cytosine or the C5 ring atom of cytosine within specific DNA sequences.

Mechanisms, Cofactors, and Augmenting Factors Involved in Anaphylaxis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Anaphylaxis is an acute and life-threatening systemic reaction. Many triggers have been described, including food, drug, and hymenoptera allergens, which are the most frequently involved. The mechanisms described in anaphylactic reactions are complex and

Cofactor and Cofactor Mimetics
Blood, 2019 Many natural enzymes need the assistance of protein cofactors to catalyze chemical reactions at a physiologically relevant speed and several of the enzymes that make up for the coagulation cascade are no exception in this regard. Notably, activated factors VII, IX and X display relatively poor enzymatic activity towards their respective macromolecular ...

Pteridines, 1995 The synthesis of 6-azidomethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin (6-AzmH4Ptr) (9) starting from 2,4-diamino- 6-hydroxymethylpteridine (1) is described. A special protecting group strategy had to be applied to perform the structural modifications. The introduction

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Characterization of an M-Cluster-Substituted Nitrogenase VFe Protein
mBio, 2018 The Mo- and V-nitrogenases are two homologous members of the nitrogenase family that are distinguished mainly by the presence of different heterometals (Mo or V) at their respective cofactor sites (M- or V-cluster).

The CoFactor database: organic cofactors in enzyme catalysis [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2010 Abstract Motivation: Organic enzyme cofactors are involved in many enzyme reactions. Therefore, the analysis of cofactors is crucial to gain a better understanding of enzyme catalysis. To aid this, we have created the CoFactor database. Results: CoFactor provides a web interface to access hand-curated data extracted from ...
