An Abundant and Diverse New Family of Electron Bifurcating Enzymes With a Non-canonical Catalytic Mechanism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microorganisms utilize electron bifurcating enzymes in metabolic pathways to carry out thermodynamically unfavorable reactions. Bifurcating FeFe-hydrogenases (HydABC) reversibly oxidize NADH (E′∼−280 mV, under physiological conditions) and reduce protons

EP300‐Mediated MTF1‐K218 Lactylation Buffers AR‐Driven Copper Overload to Suppress Cuproptosis in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Androgen receptor (AR) drives copper accumulation in prostate cancer while inducing MTF1 to buffer copper toxicity. EP300‐mediated lactylation of MTF1 at K218 promotes its nuclear translocation and metallothionein expression, sequestering cytosolic copper and preventing mitochondrial cuproptosis.

Effect of Ferredoxin on the Diaphorase Activity of Cyanobacterial Ferredoxin-NADP Reductase [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1985
The interaction of ferredoxin-NADP reductase (FNR) and ferredoxin (Fd) results in an enhanced rate of reaction and a shift of the pH optimum for the FNR-mediated diaphorase reaction. Low concentrations of NaCl (

An Avalanche Effect Nanomodulator Triggers Cascade Ferroptosis/Cuproptosis for Immunosuppressive Microenvironment Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nanomodulator called L‐Arginine/lificiguat@Copper‐hollow Prussian blue@Calcium phosphate nanoparticles is constructed to launch a self‐amplifying “avalanche effect” in tumor cells. The ensuing cascade, triggered by the acidic tumor microenvironment and near‐infrared light, induces calcium overload, generates a reactive oxygen species and reactive ...

Crystal structure of pectocin M1 reveals diverse conformations and interactions during its initial step via the ferredoxin uptake system

FEBS Open Bio
Pectocin M1 (PM1), the bacteriocin from phytopathogenic Pectobacterium carotovorum which causes soft rot disease, has a unique ferredoxin domain that allows it to use FusA of the plant ferredoxin uptake system.

A Case of Multiple Mitochondrial Dysfunctions Syndrome 1 and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1, MIM #605711) due to NFU1 gene defects is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism associated with reduced function of NFU1 iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) scaffold protein.

Salutary Effects of Overexpression of Rsm22, an Assembly Factor for the Mitochondrial Ribosome, on Frataxin/Yfh1 Depletion Phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biomolecules
Frataxin is a component of the iron–sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly complex in mitochondria, and deficiency is associated with Friedreich ataxia (FA). The yeast homolog Yfh1 resembles and cross-complements with its human equivalent, and frataxin bypass ...

Distinct Physiological Roles of the Three Ferredoxins Encoded in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis

mBio, 2019
Control of electron flux is critical in both natural and bioengineered systems to maximize energy gains. Both small molecules and proteins shuttle high-energy, low-potential electrons liberated during catabolism through diverse metabolic landscapes ...

A Heterodimeric Reduced-Ferredoxin-Dependent Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase from Syngas-Fermenting Clostridium ljungdahlii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The strict anaerobe Clostridium ljungdahlii can ferment CO or H2/CO2 via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to acetate, ethanol, and 2,3‐butanediol. This ability has attracted considerable interest, since it can be used for syngas fermentation to produce ...

Entdeckung eines antiviralen Elektronentransferprozesses zur Erzeugung katalytisch selbstversorgender viraler Restriktionsfaktoren

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
CYB5R3 wird als mutmaßlicher Elektronentransferpartner von Viperin (RSAD2) identifiziert, was erklärt, warum die ER‐Lokalisation für die antivirale Aktivität erforderlich ist. Dieses Wissen ermöglichte die Entwicklung immunstiller, katalytisch selbstversorgender antiviraler Restriktionsfaktor‐Enzyme (iCAREs), die ein antivirales Nukleosidtriphosphat ...
