Thermostable neutral metalloprotease from Geobacillus sp. EA1 does not share thermolysin's preference for substrates with leucine at the P1′ position

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Knowing how proteases recognise preferred substrates facilitates matching proteases to applications. The S1′ pocket of protease EA1 directs cleavage to the N‐terminal side of hydrophobic residues, particularly leucine. The S1′ pocket of thermolysin differs from EA's at only one position (leucine in place of phenylalanine), which decreases cleavage ...

Precise Molecular Structures of Cysteine, Cystine, Hydrogen-Bonded Dicysteine, Cysteine Dipeptide, Glutathione and Acetyl Cysteine Based on Additivity of Atomic Radii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Structures of molecules are usually represented by arbitrary line drawings, ball and stick or space filling models. In recent years, the author found that using the appropriate radii of atoms and ions, bond lengths in inorganic, organic and biomolecules ...

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Impairments in pyridoxine-dependent sulphur amino acid metabolism are highly sensitive to the degree of vitamin B6 deficiency and repletion in the pig

open access: yesAnimal, 2009
The objectives of the current study included the characterization of the temporal changes in indices of sulphur amino acid metabolism in piglets in response to vitamin B6 deficiency and repletion with graded levels of pyridoxine hydrochloride.

Enrichment of Cysteine-Containing Peptide by On-Resin Capturing and Fixed Charge Tag Derivatization for Sensitive ESI-MS Detection

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
High complexity of cell and tissue proteomes limits the investigation of proteomic biomarkers. Therefore, the methods of enrichment of some chemical groups of peptides including thiopeptides are important tools that may facilitate the proteomic analysis ...

FgMet3 and FgMet14 related to cysteine and methionine biosynthesis regulate vegetative growth, sexual reproduction, pathogenicity, and sensitivity to fungicides in Fusarium graminearum

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Fusarium graminearum is a destructive filamentous fungus, which widely exists in wheat and other cereal crops. Cysteine and Methionine are unique sulfur-containing amino acids that play an essential role in protein synthesis and cell life, but their ...

The nicotinamide hypothesis revisited—plant defense signaling integrating PARP, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, epigenetics, and glutathione

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nicotinamide (NIC) and nicotinic acid (NIA) are proposed as stress signaling compounds in plants. Oxidative stress may lead to single strand breaks (SSB) in DNA, which activate poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP). NIC and NIA are then formed from NAD. NIC and NIA can promote epigenetic changes leading to the expression of defense genes specific for the ...

Biosynthesis of food constituents: Amino acids: 2. The alanine-valine-leucine, serine-cysteine-glycine, and aromatic and heterocyclic amino acids groups - a review

open access: yesCzech Journal of Food Sciences, 2006
This review article gives a survey of principal pathways that lead to the biosynthesis of the proteinogenic amino acids of the alanine-valine-leucine group starting with pyruvic acid from the glycolytic pathway and serine-cysteine-glycine group starting ...
