Heme acquisition and tolerance in Gram-positive model bacteria: An orchestrated balance

Heliyon, 2023
As a nutrient, heme is important for various cellular processes of organism. Bacteria can obtain heme via heme biosynthesis or/and uptake of exogenous heme from the host. On the other side, absorption of excess heme is cytotoxic to bacteria.

New Water Oxidation Mechanism in Photosystem II Resolves Major Experimental Controversies

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In Photosystem II Oxygen Evolving Complex, we discovered the O3‐O6 peroxide at lower energy. Assignment of the O3 ligated by histidine (His337) as a slow exchanging substrate and its coupling with O6 give the O─O bond formation mechanism most consistent with all currently available experimental data. Proposal shows how protein environment can steer the

Proteomic Analysis of Ferrochelatase Interactome in Erythroid and Non-Erythroid Cells

Life, 2023
Heme is an essential cofactor for multiple cellular processes in most organisms. In developing erythroid cells, the demand for heme synthesis is high, but is significantly lower in non-erythroid cells.

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...

Improved biosynthesis of heme in Bacillus subtilis through metabolic engineering assisted fed-batch fermentation

Microbial Cell Factories, 2023
Background Heme is an iron/porphyrin complex compound, widely used in the health care, food, and pharmaceutical industries. It is more advantageous and attractive to develop microbial cell factories to produce heme by fermentation, with lower production ...

Development and validation of a method for porphyrins quantification using HPLC-UV in urine

Фармакокинетика и Фармакодинамика, 2022
Porphyrias are the group of orphan diseases, related to pathological disruptions of heme biosynthesis. These diseases are hard to diagnose timely and existing methods lack universality.

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

Redox and Light Control the Heme-Sensing Activity of AppA

mBio, 2013
The DNA binding activity of the photosystem-specific repressor PpsR is known to be repressed by the antirepressor AppA. AppA contains a blue-light-absorbing BLUF domain and a heme-binding SCHIC domain that controls the interaction of AppA with PpsR in ...
