Rieske Iron–Sulfur Cluster Proteins From an Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidizer Suggest Unusual Energetics in Their Parent Rieske/Cytochrome b Complexes

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria employ a unique, hydrazine‐based pathway to obtain energy from nitrite and ammonium. These organisms possess distinct Rieske/cytochrome b complexes whose precise role in anammox metabolism remains unclear, but which have been proposed to include the generation of NAD(P)H.

The three-dimensional structure of Clostridium absonum 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase: new insights into the conserved arginines for NADP(H) recognition

Scientific Reports, 2016
7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (7α-HSDH) can catalyse the oxidation of C7 α-OH of the steroid nucleus in the bile acid metabolism. In the paper we determined the crystal structure of 7α-HSDH from Clostridium absonum (CA 7α-HSDH) complexed with ...

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Magnesium deficiency-induced changes in organic acid metabolism of Citrus sinensis roots and leaves

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Organic acid (OA) metabolisms are of fundamental importance but very limited data are available on the responses of plant OA metabolisms to Mg-deficiency. Seedlings of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Xuegan were irrigated with Mg-deficient (0, 50, or 500

Determination of the Cytosolic NADPH/NADP Ratio in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using Shikimate Dehydrogenase as Sensor Reaction

Scientific Reports, 2015
Eukaryotic metabolism is organised in complex networks of enzyme catalysed reactions which are distributed over different organelles. To quantify the compartmentalised reactions, quantitative measurements of relevant physiological variables in different ...

Taxonomic and functional shifts in the microbiome of severely obese, prediabetic patients: Ketogenic diet versus energy‐matched standard diet

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading global health challenges of the 21st century. While caloric restriction remains the cornerstone of weight loss interventions, ketogenic diets (KD), characterised by low carbohydrate and high fat intake, have been shown to improve metabolic health partly by modulating the ...

The mechano-chemistry of cytoskeletal force generation [PDF]

, 2014
In this communication, we propose a model to study the non-equilibrium process by which actin stress fibers develop force in contractile cells. The emphasis here is on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which is necessary to address the mechanics as ...

Characterisation of a cold‐adapted, thermostable glucokinase from psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 reveals how the enzyme achieves high thermal stability without loss of cold adaptation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated glucokinase from the psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 (PsGK), which was isolated from the Antarctic Ocean. Biochemical studies revealed that PsGK is a cold‐adapted enzyme with high thermal stability, in contrast to general cold‐adapted enzymes, which have low thermal stability.

Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) [PDF]

, 2010
Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth.

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized
