Structure and function of dioxygenases in histone demethylation and DNA/RNA demethylation

IUCrJ, 2014
Iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases involved in histone and DNA/RNA demethylation convert the cosubstrate 2OG and oxygen to succinate and carbon dioxide, resulting in hydroxylation of the methyl group of the substrates and subsequent

OxDBase: a database of oxygenases involved in biodegradation [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2009
Background Oxygenases belong to the oxidoreductive group of enzymes (E.C. Class 1), which oxidize the substrates by transferring oxygen from molecular oxygen (O2) and utilize FAD/NADH/NADPH as the co-substrate.

Functional diversity of 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases in plant metabolism [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Oxidative enzymes catalyze many different reactions in plant metabolism. Among this suite of enzymes are the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases (2-ODDs). Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) as often considered the most versatile oxidative enzymes in nature,

Genome-wide analysis of gibberellin-dioxygenases gene family and their responses to GA applications in maize.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Gibberellin-dioxygenases genes plays important roles in the regulating plant development. However, Gibberellin-dioxygenases genes are rarely reported in maize, especially response to gibberellin (GA).

Gene Expression during BTEX Biodegradation by a Microbial Consortium Acclimatized to Unleaded Gasoline and a Pseudomonas putida Strain (HM346961) Isolated from It [PDF]

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017
Pseudomonas putida strain (HM346961) was isolated from a consortium of bacteria acclimatized to unleaded gasoline-contaminated water. The consortium can efficiently remove benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) isomers, and a similar capability

The Role of Ten-Eleven Translocation Proteins in Inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Ten-eleven translocation proteins (TET1-3) are dioxygenases that oxidize 5-methyldeoxycytosine, thus taking part in passive and active demethylation. TETs have shown to be involved in immune cell development, affecting from self-renewal of stem cells and

Structure Elucidation and Biochemical Characterization of Environmentally Relevant Novel Extradiol Dioxygenases Discovered by a Functional Metagenomics Approach

mSystems, 2019
The release of synthetic chemical pollutants in the environment is posing serious health risks. Enzymes, including oxygenases, play a crucial role in xenobiotic degradation. In the present study, we employed a functional metagenomics approach to overcome

Hydroperoxylation by Hydroxyethylphosphonate Dioxygenase [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
Hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase (HEPD) catalyzes the O(2)-dependent cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate (2-HEP) to afford hydroxymethylphosphonate (HMP) and formate without input of electrons or use of any organic cofactors. Two mechanisms have been proposed to account for this reaction.

Alteration of the Substrate Specificity of the Angular Dioxygenase Carbazole 1,9a-Dioxygenase [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2008
Carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase (CARDO) consists of terminal oxygenase (CARDO-O) and electron transport components. CARDO can catalyze specific oxygenation for various substrates: angular dioxygenation for carbazole and dibenzo-p-dioxin, lateral dioxygenation for anthracene, and monooxygenation for methylene carbon of fluorene and sulfide sulfur of ...
