Molecular modelling and Function Prediction of hABH7, human homologue of _E. coli_ ALKB7 [PDF]
, 2011 Human homologues of ALKB protein have shown the prime role in DNA damaging drugs, used for cancer therapy. Little is known about structure and function of hABH7, one of the members of this superfamily. Therefore, in the present study we intend to predict

The crystal structure of the ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase from Sphingomonas CHY-1 [PDF]
, 2007 International audienceThe ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (RHD) from Sphingomonas CHY-1 is remarkable due to its ability to initiate the oxidation of a wide range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including PAHs containing four- and five-fused ...

Unravelling the Molecular Origin of the Regiospecificity in Extradiol Catechol Dioxygenases.
Inorganic Chemistry, 2016 Many factors have been suggested to control the selectivity for extradiol or intradiol cleavage in catechol dioxygenases. The varied selectivity of model complexes and the ability to force an extradiol enzyme to do intradiol cleavage indicate that the ...

Genes, 2017 Gibberellins (GAs), a class of diterpenoid phytohormones, play a key role in regulating diverse processes throughout the life cycle of plants. Bioactive GA levels are rapidly regulated by Gibberellin-dioxygenases (GAox), which are involved in the ...

5mC-hydroxylase activity is influenced by the PARylation of TET1 enzyme [PDF]
, 2015 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is a new epigenetic modification deriving from the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine by the TET hydroxylase enzymes. DNA hydroxymethylation drives DNA demethylation events and is involved in the control of gene expression ...

Molecular mechanism of strict substrate specificity of an extradiol dioxygenase, DesB, derived from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 DesB, which is derived from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6, is a type II extradiol dioxygenase that catalyzes a ring opening reaction of gallate. While typical extradiol dioxygenases show broad substrate specificity, DesB has strict substrate specificity for ...

Arzanol, a prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl pyrone, inhibits eicosanoid biosynthesis and exhibits anti-inflammatory efficacy in vivo. [PDF]
, 2011 Based on its capacity to inhibit in vitro HIV-1 replication in T cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in monocytes, the prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl α-pyrone arzanol was identified as the major anti-inflammatory and anti-viral ...

A short history of heme dioxygenases: rise, fall and rise again
JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2016 It is well established that there are two different classes of enzymes—tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)—that catalyse the O2-dependent oxidation of l-tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine. But it was not always so.
