Insights into the Substrate Specificity of Archaeal Entner–Doudoroff Aldolases: The Structures of Picrophilus torridus 2‑Keto-3-deoxygluconate Aldolase and Sulfolobus solfataricus 2‑Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate Aldolase in Complex with 2‑Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate [PDF]
The thermoacidophilic archaea Picrophilus torridus and Sulfolobus solfataricus catabolize glucose via a nonphosphorylative Entner–Doudoroff pathway and a branched Entner–Doudoroff pathway, respectively. Key enzymes for these Entner–Doudoroff pathways are

Similarities and Differences between Coronavirus Disease 2019-related Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Kawasaki Disease in Indian Patients [PDF]
Background: There is a marked overlap of clinical and laboratory features of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and Kawasaki disease (KD); resulting in a diagnostic dilemma. Studies comparing MIS-C and KD in Indian children are limited.

Gene expression and characterization of 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconate kinase, a key enzyme in the modified Entner-Doudoroff pathway of Serratia marcescens KCTC 2172 [PDF]
We cloned 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconate kinase (KDGK), which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) to 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phophogluconate (KDPG) from Serratia marcescens KCTC 2172. The nucleotide sequence revealed a single open reading

Identification of a dimeric KDG aldolase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens
AbstractAgrobacterium tumefaciens is a Gram‐negative bacterium and causative agent of Crown Gall disease that infects a variety of economically important plants. The annotated A. tumefaciens genome contains 10 putative dapA genes, which code for dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS).

Sequence analysis of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome region between the serA and kdg loci cloned in a yeast artificial chromosome [PDF]
The standard strategies of genome sequencing based on lambda-vector or cosmid libraries are only partially applicable to AT-rich Gram-positive bacteria because of the problem of instability of their chromosomal DNA in heterologous hosts like Escherichia coli. One complete collection of ordered clones known for such bacteria is that of Bacillus subtilis,
