Bacterial Production, Characterization and Protein Modeling of a Novel Monofuctional Isoform of FAD Synthase in Humans: An Emergency Protein?

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
FAD synthase (FADS, EC 2.7.7.2) is the last essential enzyme involved in the pathway of biosynthesis of Flavin cofactors starting from Riboflavin (Rf). Alternative splicing of the human FLAD1 gene generates different isoforms of the enzyme FAD synthase ...

Characterization of succinate dehydrogenase flavoprotein from Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2013
Background: Staphylococcus aureus possesses complete tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) links TCA cycle with electron transport chain and could therefore be an ideal target in the development of new antimicrobials.

Allosteric Communication in the Multifunctional and Redox NQO1 Protein Studied by Cavity-Making Mutations

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Allosterism is a common phenomenon in protein biochemistry that allows rapid regulation of protein stability; dynamics and function. However, the mechanisms by which allosterism occurs (by mutations or post-translational modifications (PTMs)) may be ...

Enhancing The Photocatalytic Conversion Of Pt(IV) Substrates By Flavoprotein Engineering

open access: yes, 2021
Our recent work demonstrates that certain flavoproteins can catalyze the redox activation of Pt(IV) prodrug complexes under light irradiation. Herein, we used site directed mutagenesis on the mini Singlet Oxygen Generator (mSOG) to modulate the ...

Reservoir Computing‐Based Glucose Sensing With an Enzymatic Reaction Network

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyzes the conversion of glucose into gluconic acid, lowering the solution pH. The extent of pH change depends on the glucose input and directly modulates the activity of the enzyme reservoir. Glucose levels can be sensed by monitoring the changes in the enzymatic reservoir output, that is, the generation of peptide fragments ...

Functional Impact of the N-terminal Arm of Proline Dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Proline dehydrogenase (ProDH) is a ubiquitous flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of proline to Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Thermus thermophilus ProDH (TtProDH) contains in addition to its flavin-binding domain an N-terminal arm, consisting of ...

REDOX IMAGING OF THE p53-DEPENDENT MITOCHONDRIAL REDOX STATE IN COLON CANCER EX VIVO [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2013
The mitochondrial redox state and its heterogeneity of colon cancer at tissue level have not been previously reported. Nor has how p53 regulates mitochondrial respiration been measured at (deep) tissue level, presumably due to the unavailability of the ...

Altered levels of the splicing factor muscleblind modifies cerebral cortical function in mouse models of myotonic dystrophy

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2018
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a progressive, multisystem disorder affecting skeletal muscle, heart, and central nervous system. In both DM1 and DM2, microsatellite expansions of CUG and CCUG RNA repeats, respectively, accumulate and disrupt functions of ...

Fluorescence spectroscopic detection of mitochondrial flavoprotein redox oscillations and transient reduction of the NADPH oxidase-associated flavoprotein in leukocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy of leukocyte flavoproteins have been performed. Both living human peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils have been utilized as experimental models, as the former ...
