Studies on the specificity of acetylaminoacylpeptide hydrolase [PDF]

Protein Science, 1994
AbstractIn a continuing attempt to explore the types of specificity determinants that may affect protein‐protein (peptide) interactions, a number of short (2‐5 residues) acetylated peptides have been compared as substrates for the enzyme acetylaminoacyl‐peptide hydrolase (EC 3.4.19.1).

Bone Marrow Macrophage STING Signaling is a Direct Nexus Linking Marrow Adipose Expansion to NAD+ Depletion and Osteogenic Decline in Skeletal Aging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that during skeletal aging, bone marrow adipocyte‐derived sDPP4 primes STING signaling in macrophages. In combination with mitochondrial DNA, this signaling activates CD38 and depletes local NAD+/NMN, thereby impairing osteogenesis.

Unveiling the Complete Biosynthetic Pathway of Azacitidine: A Rare 1,3,5‐Triazine Nucleoside Derived From GTP

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The azacitidine biosynthetic gene cluster (aza BGC) was identified by the resistance‐gene‐guided comparative genomics method in Streptomyces mobaraensis IPIO2. The complete biosynthetic pathway of azacitidine, which follows a “base‐first‐then‐glycosylation” logic, was elucidated through in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Isolation and Characterisation of Peptide Hydrolases from the Maize Root [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1979
The maize root has two main proteinase and carboxypeptidase components. Proteinase I and carboxypeptidase I, which predominate in older plants, appear to have a serine group at their active sites and have been estimated to have molecular weights of approximately 54000 and 77000 respectively.

The Deubiquitinase UCHL1 Drives Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation by Stabilizing CaMKII‐δ

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
UCHL1 is highly upregulated in mice and patients with AF. UCHL1 directly binds to and removes K48‐linked polyubiquitin chains from CaMKII‐δ at K251 and enhances CaMKII‐δ stability, which activates RyR2, disrupts Ca2+ handling, and promotes AF. These findings establish UCHL1 as a critical regulator of CaMKII‐δ stability and AF‐related Ca2+ handling ...

Noncanonical Peloruside A Biosynthesis by an Uncultivated Verrucomicrobiota Symbiont

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Noncanonical biochemistry of the peloruside PKS characterized in this work, comprising double bond generation by a noncanonical tridomain (blue), acetyl‐CoA recycling (orange), and proofreading systems (purple and yellow). The Z‐double bond is installed by TEB1 through O‐acetylation and acetate elimination. The acyl ligase PelB (AL, orange) selectively

Recent Insights and Future Perspectives on Promiscuous Hydrolases/Acyltransferases

, 2021
Promiscuous hydrolases/acyltransferases have attracted attention for their ability to efficiently catalyze selective transacylation reactions in water to produce esters, thioesters, amides, carbonates, and carbamates.

Persistent Zn2+ Influx‐Mediated Deacetylation of ANXA2 Regulates the “Zn2+‐Autophagic Flux” and Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zinc transporter SLC39A14 sustains intracellular Zn2+ levels to activate SIRT3‑dependent ANXA2 deacetylation at K302. This modification weakens ANXA2‑mTOR binding and releases autophagic‑flux suppression in nucleus pulposus cells. Dysregulated Zn2+ homeostasis disrupts this axis to drive intervertebral disc degeneration.

Intermolecular Carbon–Carbon Naphthalene Coupling Involves a Radical Mechanism Driven by Cytochrome P450 in Alternaria alternata

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...
