Flavin dependent monooxygenases

open access: yesArchives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2014
Flavin-dependent monooxygenases catalyze a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxygenation reactions. As such, they are involved in key biological processes ranging from catabolism, detoxification and biosynthesis, to light emission and axon guidance.

Broadening the Scope of the Flavin‐Tag Method by Improving Flavin Incorporation and Incorporating Flavin Analogs

open access: yesChemBioChem, 2022
AbstractMethods for facile site‐selective modifications of proteins are in high demand. We have recently shown that a flavin transferase can be used for site‐specific covalent attachment of a chromo‐ and fluorogenic flavin (FMN) to any targeted protein. Although this Flavin‐tag method resulted in efficient labeling of proteins in vitro, labelling in E.

Straightforward Regeneration of Reduced Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Required for Enzymatic Tryptophan Halogenation

open access: yesACS Catalysis, 2019
Flavin-dependent halogenases are known to regioselectively introduce halide substituents into aromatic moieties, for example, the indole ring of tryptophan.

The World of Algae Reveals a Broad Variety of Cryptochrome Properties and Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic (micro-)organisms, lacking roots, leaves, and other organs that are typical for land plants. They live in freshwater, marine, or terrestrial habitats.

Fixing flavins: hijacking a flavin transferase for equipping flavoproteins with a covalent flavin cofactor

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2023
Most flavin-dependent enzymes contain a dissociable flavin cofactor. We present a new approach for installing a covalent bond between a flavin cofactor and its hosting protein. By using a flavin transferase and carving a flavinylation motif in target proteins, we demonstrate that ‘dissociable’ flavoproteins can be turned into covalent flavoproteins ...

Enhanced small green fluorescent proteins as a multisensing platform for biosensor development

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Engineered light, oxygen, and voltage (LOV)-based proteins are able to fluoresce without oxygen requirement due to the autocatalytic incorporation of exogenous flavin as a chromophore thus allowing for live cell imaging under hypoxic and anaerobic ...

Understanding flavin electronic structure and spectra

open access: yesWIREs Computational Molecular Science, 2021
Flavins have emerged as central to electron bifurcation, signaling, and countless enzymatic reactions. In bifurcation, two electrons acquired as a pair are separated in coupled transfers wherein the energy of both is concentrated on one of the two.
