Engineering Cofactor Specificity of a Thermostable Phosphite Dehydrogenase for a Highly Efficient and Robust NADPH Regeneration System

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-dependent dehydrogenases catalyze a range of chemical reactions useful for practical applications. However, their dependence on the costly cofactor, NAD(P)H remains a challenge which must be addressed ...

The nicotinamide hypothesis revisited—plant defense signaling integrating PARP, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, epigenetics, and glutathione

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nicotinamide (NIC) and nicotinic acid (NIA) are proposed as stress signaling compounds in plants. Oxidative stress may lead to single strand breaks (SSB) in DNA, which activate poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP). NIC and NIA are then formed from NAD. NIC and NIA can promote epigenetic changes leading to the expression of defense genes specific for the ...

Identification of Sequences Encoding Symbiodinium minutum Mitochondrial Proteins. [PDF]

, 2016
The dinoflagellates are an extremely diverse group of algae closely related to the Apicomplexa and the ciliates. Much work has previously been undertaken to determine the presence of various biochemical pathways within dinoflagellate mitochondria ...

Amide and Thioester Synthesis Via Oxidative Coupling of Alcohols with Amines or Thiols Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are best known for reducing ketones to chiral alcohols, but their oxidative potential is rarely exploited. Here, we show that selected ADHs catalyze newly discovered promiscuous transformations: the oxidative coupling of primary alcohols with amines or thiols, enabling the direct and efficient synthesis of a broad range of

Functional identification and subcellular localization of NAD kinase in the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis

Revista Colombiana de Química, 2019
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) is an essential biomolecule that participates in the redox homeostasis and synthesis of signaling compounds. NAD kinase (NADK) (EC 2.7.1.23/2.7.1.86) is the only enzyme capable of synthesizing NADP. This

Photosynthetic nitrogen- and water-use efficiencies in C3 and C4 subtype grasses grown under two nitrogen supply levels

Plant Production Science, 2021
C4 plants have higher photosynthetic nitrogen- and water-use efficiencies (PNUE and PWUE) than C3 plants. Some studies on C4 grasses have reported that NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) grasses have higher PNUE than NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) grasses, whereas ...

Phosphomimetic mutations near active sites of proteins in Thermus thermophilus suggest a widespread regulatory mechanism

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In Thermus thermophilus, more than half of the phosphorylation sites identified by proteomic analysis are located near the active site. All phosphomimetic mutants of phosphosites of six enzymes belonging to different families showed severely reduced activity compared with the wild‐type, particularly in the turnover number.

Cytosolic Redox Status of Wine Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) under Hyperosmotic Stress during Icewine Fermentation

Fermentation, 2017
Acetic acid is undesired in Icewine. It is unclear whether its production by fermenting yeast is linked to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) system or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+/NADPH) system.

Harnessing Non‐Covalent Protein–Protein Interaction Domains for Production of Biocatalytic Materials Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Non‐covalent protein–protein interactions mediated by SH3, PDZ, or GBD domains enable the self‐assembly of stable and biocatalytically active hydrogel materials. These soft materials can be processed into monodisperse foams that, once dried, exhibit enhanced mechanical stability and activity and are easily integrated into microstructured flow ...
