From Synthesis to Utilization: The Ins and Outs of Mitochondrial Heme

Cells, 2020
Heme is a ubiquitous and essential iron containing metallo-organic cofactor required for virtually all aerobic life. Heme synthesis is initiated and completed in mitochondria, followed by certain covalent modifications and/or its delivery to apo ...

Zinc supplementation improves heme biosynthesis in rats exposed to lead [PDF]

Universa Medicina, 2015
Background Lead acetate (Pb) inhibits heme biosynthesis through inhibition of d-aminolevulinic acid dehydrogenase (d-ALAD), copro porphyrinogen oxidase, and ferro chelatase. Zinc supplementation increases lead-binding metallothionein proteins.

Discovery of an Antiviral Electron Transfer Process to Create Catalytically Self‐Sufficient Viral Restriction Factors

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
CYB5R3 is identified as a putative electron‐transfer partner of viperin (RSAD2), explaining why ER localisation is required for antiviral activity. Its utilisation enabled the engineering of immune‐silent, catalytically self‐sufficient antiviral restriction factor enzymes (iCAREs) that produce an antiviral nucleoside triphosphate analogue (ANTA ...

Protoporphyrin IX-Dependent Antiviral Effects of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid against Feline Coronavirus Type II

Viruses
5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of heme and exerts antiviral effects against feline coronavirus (FCoV); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Molecular Mechanism of Heme Biosynthesis.

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1997
Two of the major organs producing heme are bone marrow and the liver. delta-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) plays the key role to regulate heme biosynthesis in hepatocytes as well as in erythroid cells. In the liver, nonspecific (or housekeeping) isozyme of ALAS (ALAS-N) is expressed to be regulated by its end product, heme, in a negative feedback ...

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Spray‐Dried Engineered Escherichia coli Whole‐Cell Biocatalysts Enable Cell Recycling and In Vivo α‐Ketoglutarate and NADPH Regeneration for Efficient Codeine Manufacture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recombinant whole‐cell biocatalytic approach provides several advantages over isolated enzymes, such as improved enzyme stability, in vivo cofactor regeneration, and the facilitation of cascade reactions within a single cell. Whole‐cell biocatalysis has gained attention in medicinal opioid production, due to its technical and economic ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Stage‐Dependent Metabolic Reprogramming Drives a Self‐Organizing Microbial Network During Shanxi Aged Vinegar

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Metabolic shifts from growth to stress adaptation in Shanxi aged vinegar fermentation link flavor maturation and microbial cooperation, and Lactobacillus and Acetobacter form a self‐organizing metabolic network through division of labor. ABSTRACT Acetic acid fermentation (AAF) is a vital stage in the production of Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV), during ...
