Crystal structure and DNA cleavage mechanism of the restriction DNA glycosylase R.CcoLI from Campylobacter coli

Scientific Reports, 2021
While most restriction enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds at specific nucleotide sequences in DNA, restriction enzymes of the HALFPIPE superfamily cleave N-glycosidic bonds, similar to DNA glycosylases.

Genetic and biochemical analyses of chromosome and plasmid gene homologues encoding ICL and ArCP domains in Vibrioanguillarum strain 775 [PDF]

, 2011
Anguibactin, the siderophore produced by Vibrio anguillarum 775 is synthesized from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), cysteine and hydroxyhistamine via a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) mechanism.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid: A Gateway for Targeted Killing of Staphylococcus aureus on the Race for Surface Colonization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thiolated hyaluronic acid (HAMS) synthesized and characterized by NMR, solubility, thiol content, and pKa, is degraded by Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase but not by mammalian hyaluronidase. Coating polyphosphate–M23 phage endolysin nanoparticles (M23‐PP) with HAMS confers Staphylococcus aureus responsiveness.

ATP Citrate Lyase is a General Tumour Biomarker and Contributes to the Development of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Acta Dermato-Venereologica
ATP citrate lyase, the first rate-limiting enzyme in de novo lipogenesis, plays a crucial role in tumour progression. This study explores ATP citrate lyase’s potential as a tumour biomarker and its role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Cloning and expression of isocitrate lyase from human round worm Strongyloides stercoralis

Parasite, 2000
A full length cDNA (1463 bp) encoding isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) of Strongyloides stercoralis is described. The nucleotide sequence of this insert identified a cDNA coding for the isocitrate lyase.

Evidence That Cytochrome \u3cem\u3eb\u3csub\u3e5\u3c/sub\u3e\u3c/em\u3e Acts as a Redox Donor in CYP17A1 Mediated Androgen Synthesis [PDF]

, 2016
Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) is an important drug target for castration resistant prostate cancer. It is a bi-functional enzyme, catalyzing production of glucocorticoid precursors by hydroxylation of pregnene-nucleus, and androgen biosynthesis by a ...
