Structural basis of ligand selectivity in FAD/NAD(P)H-dependent dehydrogenases: insights from trypanothione reductase and type II NADH dehydrogenase. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

NADPH Dehydrogenase Gene Regulates Energy Distribution and Fatty Acid Metabolism During Fruiting Body Formation in the Filamentous Fungus Podospora anserina. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
NADPH dehydrogenase gene deletion significantly triggered NADPH/NADP+ increase in mutant strains. NADPH gene deletion promoted Fatty acid biosynthesis and repressed β‐oxidation. NADPH gene deletion decreased oxidative phosphorylation and increased substrate‐level phosphorylation. Mutants exhibited hypersensitivity to oxidative stress, but promoted more

Spray‐Dried Engineered Escherichia coli Whole‐Cell Biocatalysts Enable Cell Recycling and In Vivo α‐Ketoglutarate and NADPH Regeneration for Efficient Codeine Manufacture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recombinant whole‐cell biocatalytic approach provides several advantages over isolated enzymes, such as improved enzyme stability, in vivo cofactor regeneration, and the facilitation of cascade reactions within a single cell. Whole‐cell biocatalysis has gained attention in medicinal opioid production, due to its technical and economic ...

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Proteomic Changes in Cancer Cell Lines as a Result of Bacterial Infection

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial infections have been implicated in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their effects on cancer cell proteomes remain unexplored. In this study, we analyzed proteomic changes in melanoma (A375) and ovarian cancer (OVCAR3) cell line models following infection with Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 or Salmonella enterica ...

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

Tyrosine residues at the substrate binding site in human NQO1 homodimer: Protein conformational dynamics and optimization of substrate binding geometry

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 is a homodimeric flavoenzyme crucial for redox metabolism and linked to significant health issues. Point mutations at Tyr126 and Tyr128 demonstrate their essential roles in optimizing substrate binding geometry for catalysis, as well as in half‐site reactivity and conformational dynamics during the enzyme's ...

Thioredoxin system modulates metabolic and stomatal responses to elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Integrative model of extraplastidial NADPH‐dependent thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin system‐mediated regulation of stomatal function, redox homeostasis, and metabolic responses under ambient and elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. Summary The NADPH‐dependent thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin (NTR/TRX) system plays a central role in maintaining ...
