Mechanism of action and impact of thiol homeostasis on efficacy of an enzyme replacement therapy for classical homocystinuria

Redox Biology
Homocystinuria (HCU) due to cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency is characterized by elevated plasma and tissue homocysteine levels. There is no cure, but HCU is typically managed by methionine/protein restriction and vitamin B6 supplementation ...

Obesity Is an Independent Risk Factor for Oligozoospermia, With Co‐Existing Hyperglycemia Exacerbating Risks of Asthenozoospermia and Elevated Sperm DNA Fragmentation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic health plays a critical role in maintaining male fertility and may influence offspring health. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate metabolic indicators into the clinical assessment of male fertility. However, the relationships between different metabolic abnormalities and semen quality remain incompletely understood.

S‐Adenosylmethionine (SAM) hydrolases counter increased SAM epimerisation in thermophilic archaea

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
S‐Adenosyl‐l‐methionine (SAM) is a vital enzyme cofactor. Epimerisation at the sulfonium centre of biologically active (SS,SCα)‐SAM is driven by heat, yielding biologically inactive (RS,SCα)‐SAM. Here, two novel archaeal SAM hydrolases from the thermophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and the halophilic Haloferax volcanii are shown to cleave (RS,SCα)‐SAM.

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.

Association of Vitamin B6 and Homocysteine–ACTH Coupling With Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: An Exploratory Case–Control Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this exploratory case–control study, plasma PLP (vitamin B6), homocysteine and ACTH concentrations did not differ between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and controls, and none discriminated patients individually. Within patients, however, psychological distress mapped onto a homocysteine–ACTH relationship from which PLP appeared ...
