Palmitoylation of Metazoan Carotenoid Oxygenases [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 Abundant in nature, carotenoids are a class of fat-soluble pigments with a polyene tetraterpenoid structure. They possess antioxidant properties and their consumption leads to certain health benefits in humans. Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) are a

Formation of 1-octen-3-ol from Aspergillus flavus conidia is accelerated after disruption of cells independently of Ppo oxygenases, and is not a main cause of inhibition of germination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Eight-carbon (C8) volatiles, such as 1-octen-3-ol, are ubiquitous among fungi. They are the volatiles critical for aroma and flavor of fungi, and assumed to be signals controlling germination of several fungi.

Human prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 reacts with O2 and 2-oxoglutarate to enable formation of inactive Fe(III).2OG.hypoxia-inducible-factor α complexes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIFs) mediate the hypoxic response in metazoans. When sufficient O2 is present, Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases (human PHD1-3) promote HIFα degradation via prolyl-hydroxylation.

Eicosanoids in inflammation in the blood and the vessel
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids in cells. PUFAs regulate cellular function through the formation of derived lipid mediators termed eicosanoids.

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 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 ...
