Metabolic engineering of cucurbitacins in Cucurbita pepo hairy roots

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
In this paper we show that metabolic engineering in Cucurbita pepo hairy roots can be used to both effectively increase and modify cucurbitacins. Cucurbitacins are highly-oxygenated triterpenoids originally described in the Cucurbitaceae family, but have

Mechanisms of Bacterial Extracellular Electron Exchange. [PDF]

, 2016
The biochemical mechanisms by which microbes interact with extracellular soluble metal ions and insoluble redox-active minerals have been the focus of intense research over the last three decades. The process presents two challenges to the microorganism;

A cytochrome b561 with ferric reductase activity from the parasitic blood fluke, Schistosoma japonicum. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: Iron has an integral role in numerous cellular reactions and is required by virtually all organisms. In physiological conditions, iron is abundant in a largely insoluble ferric state.

Biogenesis of mitochondrial c-type cytochromes [PDF]

, 1990
Cytochromesc andc 1 are essential components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In both cytochromes the heme group is covalently linked to the polypeptide chain via thioether bridges. The location of the two cytochromes is in the intermembrane space;

In situ spectroscopy reveals that microorganisms in different phyla use different electron transfer biomolecules to respire aerobically on soluble iron

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Absorbance spectra were collected on twelve different live microorganisms, representing six phyla, as they respired aerobically on soluble iron at pH 1.5.

Immunosuppressive Effect of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Induction of Apoptosis of pre-B Lymphocytes of Bone Marrow

Acta Medica, 2002
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, distinguished by genotoxic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and immunotoxic effects.

Resonance Raman Spectroscopy Reveals that Substrate Structure Selectively Impacts the Heme-Bound Diatomic Ligands of CYP17 [PDF]

, 2013
An important function of steroidogenic cytochromes P450 is the transformation of cholesterol to produce androgens, estrogens, and the corticosteroids.

Requirement for ω and (ω–1)-hydroxylations of fatty acids by human cytochromes P450 2E1 and 4A11

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
Human liver microsomes and recombinant human P450 have been used as enzyme source in order to better understand the requirement for the optimal rate of ω and (ω–1)-hydroxylations of fatty acids by cytochromes P450 2E1 and 4A.
