Tamoxifen-like metallocifens target thioredoxin system determining mitochondrial impairment leading to apoptosis in Jurkat cells [PDF]
, 2017 Tamoxifen-like metallocifens (TLMs) of the group-8 metals (Fe, Ru, and Os) show strong anti-proliferative activity on cancer cell lines resistant to apoptosis, owing to their unique redox properties. In contrast, the thioredoxin system, which is involved

Nitrite Reductase Activity of Cytochrome c [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Small increases in physiological nitrite concentrations have now been shown to mediate a number of biological responses, including hypoxic vasodilation, cytoprotection after ischemia/reperfusion, and regulation of gene and protein expression. Thus, while nitrite was until recently believed to be biologically inert, it is now recognized as a potentially

Identification of a Novel Self-Sufficient Styrene Monooxygenase from Rhodococcus opacus 1CP. [PDF]
, 2009 Sequence analysis of a 9-kb genomic fragment of the actinobacterium Rhodococcus opacus 1CP led to identification of an open reading frame encoding a novel fusion protein, StyA2B, with a putative function in styrene metabolism via styrene oxide and ...

Homologous bd oxidases share the same architecture but differ in mechanism
Nature Communications, 2019 Cytochrome bd oxidases couple quinol oxidation and the release of protons to the periplasmic side with proton uptake from the cytoplasmic side to reduce dioxygen to water and they are the terminal reductases in bacterial and archaeal respiratory chains ...

Structural Features of Cytochrome b5–Cytochrome b5 Reductase Complex Formation and Implications for the Intramolecular Dynamics of Cytochrome b5 Reductase [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Membrane cytochrome b5 reductase is a pleiotropic oxidoreductase that uses primarily soluble reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) as an electron donor to reduce multiple biological acceptors localized in cellular membranes. Some of the biological acceptors of the reductase and coupled redox proteins might eventually transfer electrons to ...
