Cryo-EM reveals an ensemble of cytochrome P450 reductase conformations in solution. [PDF]
Abstract The eukaryotic electron transport system, mediated by cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), plays a crucial role in driving myriads of reactions involved in the biosynthesis of physiologically active compounds (such as sterols, steroids, vitamins, and natural products), as well as in the metabolism of drugs, toxins, and carcinogens.

Protein disulphide isomerase-assisted functionalization of proteinaceous substrates [PDF]
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) is an enzyme that catalyzes thiol-disulphide exchange reactions among a broad spectrum of substrates, including proteins and low-molecular thiols and disulphides.

The mucin-degradation strategy of Ruminococcus gnavus:The importance of intramolecular trans-sialidases [PDF]
We previously identified and characterized an intramolecular trans-sialidase (IT-sialidase) in the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus ATCC 29149, which is associated to the ability of the strain to grow on mucins. In this work we have obtained and analyzed

Folding of a single domain protein entering the endoplasmic reticulum precedes disulfide formation [PDF]
The relationship between protein synthesis, folding and disulfide formation within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested pre-existing disulfide links are absolutely required to allow protein folding and ...

Electron Transfer Pathways and Dynamics of Chloroplast NADPH-dependent Thioredoxin Reductase C (NTRC) [PDF]
NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) contain a flavin cofactor and a disulfide as redox-active groups. The catalytic mechanism of standard NTR involves a large conformational change between two configurations.

Members of the chloride intracellular ion channel protein family demonstrate glutaredoxin-like enzymatic activity [PDF]
© 2015 Al Khamici et al. The Chloride Intracellular Ion Channel (CLIC) family consists of six evolutionarily conserved proteins in humans. Members of this family are unusual, existing as both monomeric soluble proteins and as integral membrane proteins ...

Oxidative protein folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Disulfide bond formation is a crucial step for oxidative folding and necessary for the acquisition of a protein's native conformation. Introduction of disulfide bonds is catalyzed in specialized subcellular compartments and requires the coordinated ...

New Perspectives Related to the Bioluminescent System in Dinoflagellates: Pyrocystis lunula, a Case Study [PDF]
Pyrocystis lunula is considered a model organism due to its bioluminescence capacity linked to circadian rhythms. The mechanisms underlying the bioluminescent phenomenon have been well characterized in dinoflagellates; however, there are still some ...

The role of peroxiredoxins in cancer [PDF]
Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are a ubiquitously expressed family of small (22-27 kDa) non-seleno peroxidases that catalyze the peroxide reduction of H2O2, organic hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite.
