Mechanistic Insights into Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Lyase DddY, a New Member of the Cupin Superfamily [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2017
The marine osmolyte dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of Earth's most abundant organosulfur molecules. Bacterial DMSP lyases cleave DMSP, producing acrylate and dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a climate-active gas with roles in global sulfur cycling and atmospheric chemistry. DddY is the only known periplasmic DMSP lyase and is present in β-, γ-, δ- and

Improving Meat Analogues With Pea Proteins: A Comprehensive Review of Applications, Allergenicity, and Safety

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT With the growing global population and change in consumers' lifestyles, there is a pressing need for sustainable, safe, and nutritious sources of protein. Alternative proteins, like plant‐based meat supplemented with pea protein, offer a promising source; however, knowledge of their application, allergenicity, and safety is limited, and the ...

Modeling the Metal Binding Site in Cupin Proteins [PDF]

, 2011
The name for cupin proteins is derived from the Latin term for small barrel, ‘Cupa’. Proteins that belong to the group of cupins adopt a barrel-like structure (Dunwell et al., 2001). According to the database of Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) (Murzin et al., 1995), the cupin proteins have been classified as members of ‘RmlC-like Cupins ...

Unravelling the drivers of island species richness in tropical savannas

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Murundu island area explains a substantial proportion of the variation in tree and herb richness, consistent with Island Biogeography Theory. On average, a 10% increase in island size corresponds to increases of seven tree species and 7.8 herb species.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Cupin‐Type Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Lyase from Pelagibacter ubique (DddKPu) Catalyzes Aza‐Michael Addition of Primary and Secondary Amines to Acrylic Acid

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 45, November 3, 2025.
A dimethylsulfoniopropionate lyase (DddK) was identified as an efficient aza‐Michaelase for the addition of amines to acrylate. Screening 74 amines with wild‐type DddK and its W26G variant yielded N‐substituted and N,N‐disubstituted β‐amino acids in 30%–93% isolated yield.

Redirecting a Fungal Quercetin 2,3‐Dioxygenase Toward Artificial Flavonols

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
A novel quercetin 2,3‐dioxygenase was engineered to reshape its substrate‐binding cavity and redirect its specificity toward artificial flavonols. One variant with a larger substrate‐binding cavity exhibited 20‐ to 1750‐fold higher activity toward bulky flavonols with phenyl‐based substitutions at position C‐8.
