ANXUR receptor-like kinases coordinate cell wall integrity with growth at the pollen tube tip via NADPH oxidases. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 It has become increasingly apparent that the extracellular matrix (ECM), which in plants corresponds to the cell wall, can influence intracellular activities in ways that go far beyond their supposedly passive mechanical support. In plants, growing cells

Electrochemical tuning of alcohol oxidase and dehydrogenase catalysis via biosensing towards butanol-1 detection in fermentation media [PDF]
Biosensors and Bioelectronics 170 (2020) 112702, 2021 A novel approach for electrochemical tuning of alcohol oxidase (AOx) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) biocatalysis towards butanol-1 oxidation by incorporating enzymes in various designs of amperometric biosensors is presented. The biosensors were developed by using commercial graphene oxide-based screen-printed electrodes and varying enzyme producing ...

NADPH Oxidases in Vascular Pathology [PDF]
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2014 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in vascular disease. While there are many possible sources of ROS, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases play a central role. They are a source of "kindling radicals," which affect other enzymes, such as nitric oxide synthase endothelial nitric oxide synthase or xanthine oxidase.

How germline genes promote malignancy in cancer cells
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 We hypothesize that activation of a “germline program” promotes oncogenesis. Expression of otherwise germline specific genes may result in pseudomeiotic activity, thereby promoting oncogenesis through genomic instability. Other processes that are differentially regulated in the germline, such as migration and epigenetic – and metabolic plasticity, may ...

The Relationship of NADPH Oxidases and Heme Peroxidases: Fallin' in and Out
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Peroxidase enzymes can oxidize a multitude of substrates in diverse biological processes. According to the latest phylogenetic analysis, there are four major heme peroxidase superfamilies. In this review, we focus on certain members of the cyclooxygenase-

The NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase from Escherichia coli. Evidence for a new mode of binding for reduced pyridine nucleotides [PDF]
The journal of biological chemistry, American Society for
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1999, 274, pp.18252-60, 2015 The NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase from Escherichia coli, named Fre, is a monomer of 26.2 kDa that catalyzes the reduction of free flavins using NADPH or NADH as electron donor. The enzyme does not contain any prosthetic group but accommodates both the reduced pyridine nucleotide and the flavin in a ternary complex prior to oxidoreduction.

NADPH oxidase 4 and its role in the cardiovascular system
Vascular Biology, 2019 The heart relies on complex mechanisms that provide adequate myocardial oxygen supply in order to maintain its contractile function. At the cellular level, oxygen undergoes one electron reduction to superoxide through the action of different types of ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote the germination of several seeds, and antioxidants suppress it. However, questions remain regarding the role and production mechanism of ROS in seed germination. Here, we focused on NADPH oxidases, which produce ROS.

ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022 Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.

NADPH Oxidases Act as Key Enzyme on Germination and Seedling Growth in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Plant Production Science, 2010 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in seed germination. Although hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a type of ROS, enhances the germination rate of various plant seeds, little is known about the mechanism.
