Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Dimerization Is Required for Hydrolase Activity [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) plays a key role in the metabolic conversion of the protective eicosanoid 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid to 14,15-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid. Accordingly, inhibition of sEH hydrolase activity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple models of cardiovascular diseases, thus identifying sEH as a valuable therapeutic ...

Candida biome of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) and its cariogenic virulence traits

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2020
The protected niche of deep-caries lesions is a distinctive ecosystem. We assessed the Candida biome and its cariogenic traits from dentin samples of 50 children with severe-early childhood caries (S-ECC).

Production of a β-Glucosidase-Rich Cocktail from Talaromyces amestolkiae Using Raw Glycerol: Its Role for Lignocellulose Waste Valorization

Journal of Fungi, 2021
As β-glucosidases represent the major bottleneck for the industrial degradation of plant biomass, great efforts are being devoted to discover both novel and robust versions of these enzymes, as well as to develop efficient and inexpensive ways to produce

Catalysis by nucleoside hydrolases [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2003
Nucleoside hydrolases cleave the N-glycosidic bond of ribonucleosides. Because of their vital role in the protozoan purine salvage pathway, nucleoside hydrolases from parasitic protozoa in particular have been studied extensively by X-ray crystallography, kinetic methods and site-directed mutagenesis.

A Novel Multifunctional β-N-Acetylhexosaminidase Revealed through Metagenomics of an Oil-Spilled Mangrove

Bioengineering, 2017
The use of culture-independent approaches, such as metagenomics, provides complementary access to environmental microbial diversity. Mangrove environments represent a highly complex system with plenty of opportunities for finding singular functions.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal increased expression of dioxygenases, monooxygenases, and other metabolizing enzymes involved in anthracene degradation in the marine alga Ulva lactuca

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
To analyze the mechanisms involved in anthracene (ANT) degradation in the marine alga Ulva lactuca, total RNA was obtained from the alga cultivated without ANT and with 5 μM of ANT for 24 h, and transcriptomic analyses were performed.

EP-Pred: A Machine Learning Tool for Bioprospecting Promiscuous Ester Hydrolases

Biomolecules, 2022
When bioprospecting for novel industrial enzymes, substrate promiscuity is a desirable property that increases the reusability of the enzyme. Among industrial enzymes, ester hydrolases have great relevance for which the demand has not ceased to increase.
