Oxidoreductases and Reactive Oxygen Species in Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass
Biomass constitutes an appealing alternative to fossil resources for the production of materials and energy. The abundance and attractiveness of vegetal biomass come along with challenges pertaining to the intricacy of its structure, evolved during ...

Functional design of bacterial superoxide:quinone oxidoreductase [PDF]
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.

Cytosolic redox components regulate protein homeostasis via additional localisation in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Oxidative protein folding is confined to the bacterial periplasm, endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Maintaining a redox balance requires the presence of reductive pathways.

ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

Inactivation of mammalian Ero 1α is catalysed by specific protein disulfide isomerases [PDF]
Disulfide formation within the endoplasmic reticulum is a complex process requiring a disulfide exchange protein such as protein disulfide isomerase and a mechanism to form disulfides de novo.

Applications of Oxidoreductases
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.

How are proteins reduced in the endoplasmic reticulum? [PDF]
The reversal of thiol oxidation in proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein folding, degradation, chaperone function, and the ER stress response. Our understanding of this process is generally poor but progress has been made.

A structure-based approach for detection of thiol oxidoreductases and their catalytic redox-active cysteine residues. [PDF]
Cysteine (Cys) residues often play critical roles in proteins, for example, in the formation of structural disulfide bonds, metal binding, targeting proteins to the membranes, and various catalytic functions.
