Evolution of lysine and arginine biosynthesis revealed by substrate specificity of lysine biosynthetic enzymes in Thermus thermophilus. [PDF]
Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibition in Melanoma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and are found to participate in all stages of tumour progression including modifying signalling pathways, regulating cytokines and promoting tumour growth, particularly by inducing angiogenesis and facilitating cancer spread.

Hydroxamate Recognition During Iron Transport from Hydroxamate-Iron Chelates [PDF]
Kinetics of radioactive iron transport from three structurally different secondary hydroxamate-iron chelates (schizokinen-iron, produced by Bacillus megaterium ATCC 19213; Desferal-iron, produced by an actinomycete; and aerobactin-iron, produced by Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1) revealed that

Hydroxamic Acid as a Potent Metal-Binding Group for Inhibiting Tyrosinase
Tyrosinase, a metalloenzyme containing a dicopper cofactor, plays a central role in synthesizing melanin from tyrosine. Many studies have aimed to identify small-molecule inhibitors of tyrosinase for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural purposes ...

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]
Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Non-Hydroxamate Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors [PDF]
A number of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been developed as anticancer agents and most of them are hydroxamic acid derivatives, typified by suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), Trichostatin A (TSA) and NVP-LAQ824. However, hydroxamic acids have been associated with poor pharmacokinetics and severe toxicity. In addition, although isozyme-

Fate of Labeled Hydroxamates During Iron Transport from Hydroxamate-Iron Chelates [PDF]
The fate of the hydroxamic acid-iron transport cofactors during iron uptake from the 59 Fe 3+ chelates of the 3 H-labeled hydroxamates schizokinen and aerobactin was studied by assay of simultaneous incorporation of both 59 Fe 3+
