Characterization of theThreshold for NAD(P)H:quinone Oxidoreductase Activity in Intact Sulforaphane-treated Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2011 Treatment of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in culture with the phase II enzyme inducer sulforaphane (5 μM, 24 h; sulf-treated) increased cell-lysate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) activity by 5.7 ± 0.6 (mean ± SEM)-fold, but intact ...

Electron Transport Chain Is Biochemically Linked to Pilus Assembly Required for Polymicrobial Interactions and Biofilm Formation in the Gram-Positive Actinobacterium Actinomyces oris. [PDF]
, 2017 The Gram-positive actinobacteria Actinomyces spp. are key colonizers in the development of oral biofilms due to the inherent ability of Actinomyces to adhere to receptor polysaccharides on the surface of oral streptococci and host cells.

Functional design of bacterial superoxide:quinone oxidoreductase [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2021 AbstractThe superoxide anion - molecular oxygen reduced by a single electron - is produced in large amounts by enzymatic and adventitious reactions and can perform a range of cellular functions, including bacterial warfare and iron uptake, signalling and host immune response in eukaryotes.

Preferential utilization of NADPH as the endogenous electron donor for NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in intact pulmonary arterial endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2009 The goal was to determine whether endogenous cytosolic NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) preferentially uses NADPH or NADH in intact pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in culture.

The oxidoreductases POR and CYB5R1 catalyze lipid peroxidation to execute ferroptosis
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021 Our recent study showed that two oxidoreductases – NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (CYB5R1) – transfer electrons to oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Applications of Oxidoreductases
, 2021 Oxidoreductases comprise of a large group of enzymes catalyzing the transfer of electrons from an electron donor to an electron acceptor molecule, commonly taking nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as cofactors.
