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

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

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 ...

Substrate stereo‐specificity in tryptophan dioxygenase and indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase [PDF]

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2010
AbstractThe first and rate‐limiting step of the kynurenine pathway, in which tryptophan (Trp) is converted to N‐formylkynurenine is catalyzed by two heme‐containing proteins, Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO), and Tryptophan 2,3‐dioxygenase (TDO). In mammals, TDO is found exclusively in liver tissue, IDO is found ubiquitously in all tissues.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Ofd2 is a nuclear 2-oxoglutarate and iron dependent dioxygenase interacting with histones. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent dioxygenases are ubiquitous iron containing enzymes that couple substrate oxidation to the conversion of 2OG to succinate and carbon dioxide.

Discovery and Characterization of a Second Mammalian Thiol Dioxygenase, Cysteamine Dioxygenase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
There are only two known thiol dioxygenase activities in mammals, and they are ascribed to the enzymes cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol) dioxygenase (ADO). Although many studies have been dedicated to CDO, resulting in the identification of its gene and even characterization of the tertiary structure of the protein ...
