Structure and mutation of deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase (DPS) from Podophyllum hexandrum
Deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase (DPS) is a 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) dependent non-heme iron (II) dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereoselective ring-closing carbon-carbon bond formation of deoxypodophyllotoxin from the aryllignan (−)-yatein ...

Natural rubber (NR), poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), is used in an industrial scale for more than 100 years. Most of the NR-derived materials are released to the environment as waste or by abrasion of small particles from our tires. Furthermore, compounds with isoprene units in their molecular structures are part of many biomolecules such as terpenoids and ...

The Naphthalene Catabolic Genes of Pseudomonas putida BS3701: Additional Regulatory Control
Pseudomonas microorganisms are used for bioremediation of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The overall remediation efficiency is largely dependent on the presence of macro- and micronutrients.

When is a target not a target?
Cells rely on prolyl hydroxylase enzymes to sense low levels of oxygen, but they might act on fewer targets than previously thought.

Custom tuning of Rieske oxygenase reactivity
Rieske oxygenases use a Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster and a mononuclear iron center to initiate a range of chemical transformations. However, few details exist regarding how this catalytic scaffold can be predictively tuned to catalyze divergent reactions.

Lack of activity of recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) on reported non-HIF substrates
Human and other animal cells deploy three closely related dioxygenases (PHD 1, 2 and 3) to signal oxygen levels by catalysing oxygen regulated prolyl hydroxylation of the transcription factor HIF. The discovery of the HIF prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD) enzymes

The mature form of phytanoyl-coenzyme A 2-hydroxylase (PAHX), a nonheme Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase, catalyzes the α-hydroxylation of phytanoyl-CoA within peroxisomes.
