Structural basis of the pleiotropic and specific phenotypic consequences of missense mutations in the multifunctional NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 and their pharmacological rescue

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2021
The multifunctional nature of human flavoproteins is critically linked to their ability to populate multiple conformational states. Ligand binding, post-translational modifications and disease-associated mutations can reshape this functional landscape ...

Assays of D-Amino Acid Oxidase Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018
D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is a well-known flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative FAD-dependent deamination of D-amino acids. As a result of the absolute stereoselectivity and broad substrate specificity, microbial DAAOs have been employed as ...

Unique Features and Anti-microbial Targeting of Folate- and Flavin-Dependent Methyltransferases Required for Accurate Maintenance of Genetic Information

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Comparative genome analyses have led to the discovery and characterization of novel flavin- and folate-dependent methyltransferases that mainly function in DNA precursor synthesis and post-transcriptional RNA modification by forming (ribo) thymidylate ...

Evolution of function in the "two dinucleotide binding domains" flavoproteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2007
Structural and biochemical constraints force some segments of proteins to evolve more slowly than others, often allowing identification of conserved structural or sequence motifs that can be associated with substrate binding properties, chemical ...

Iron-sulfur flavoenzymes: the added value of making the most ancient redox cofactors and the versatile flavins work together

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2021
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) flavoproteins form a broad and growing class of complex, multi-domain and often multi-subunit proteins coupling the most ancient cofactors (the Fe-S clusters) and the most versatile coenzymes (the flavin coenzymes, FMN and FAD).

Photolyase Production and Current Applications: A Review

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
The photolyase family consists of flavoproteins with enzyme activity able to repair ultraviolet light radiation damage by photoreactivation. DNA damage by the formation of a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and a pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4 ...

Characterization of two bacterial multi-flavinylated proteins harboring multiple covalent flavin cofactors

open access: yesBBA Advances, 2023
In recent years, studies have shown that a large number of bacteria secrete multi-flavinylated proteins. The exact roles and properties, of these extracellular flavoproteins that contain multiple covalently anchored FMN cofactors, are still largely ...

From identification of fluorescent flavoproteins to mitochondrial redox indicators in intact tissues [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2014
Development of the use of flavin and nicotinamide-adenine nucleotide fluorescence in monitoring the redox state of the free mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ couple in cells, tissues and organs is reviewed.

Flavoprotein monooxygenases: Versatile biocatalysts

open access: yesBiotechnology Advances, 2021
Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) are single- or two-component enzymes that catalyze a diverse set of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization reactions. In this review, we describe how FPMOs have evolved from model enzymes in mechanistic flavoprotein research to biotechnologically relevant catalysts that can be applied for the ...
