A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Dissecting the Hydrolytic Activities of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum ATPase in the Presence of Acetyl Phosphate [PDF]

open access: yesJ Biol Chem . 2002 Oct 11;277(41):38127-32
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and purified Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase hydrolyze acetyl phosphate both in the presence and absence of Ca$^{2+}$. The Ca$^{2+}$-independent activity was fully sensitive to vanadate, insensitive to thapsigargin, and proceeded without accumulation of phosphorylated enzyme.

Conformational Dependence of a Protein Kinase Phosphate Transfer Reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Atomic motions and energetics for a phosphate transfer reaction catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) are calculated by plane-wave density functional theory, starting from structures of proteins crystallized in both the reactant conformation (RC) and the transition-state conformation (TC).

Insights into the activation mechanism of class I HDAC complexes by inositol phosphates

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1, 2 and 3 form the catalytic subunit of several large transcriptional repression complexes. Unexpectedly, the enzymatic activity of HDACs in these complexes has been shown to be regulated by inositol phosphates, which bind ...

Brucella NyxA and NyxB dimerization enhances effector function during infection

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Brucella abortus thrives inside cells thanks to the translocation of effector proteins that fine‐tune cellular functions. NyxA and NyxB are two effectors that destabilize the nucleolar localization of their host target, SENP3. We show that the Nyx proteins directly interact with each other and that their dimerization is essential for their function ...

The carboxylate “gripper” of the substrate is critical for C‐4 stereo‐inversion by UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction

Lanthanum carbonate oral powder: satisfaction, preference and adherence in French and Spanish patients with end-stage renal disease

open access: yesDrugs in Context, 2016
Background: Phosphate binders, such as lanthanum carbonate, control elevated serum-phosphate levels in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Lanthanum carbonate is available in oral powder and tablet form.

Simulating the transport of dissolved ammonium-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorous to streams using artificial neural network (ANN) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The export of agricultural fertilizers to streams results in untold harms to downstream water quality and thus ecosystem. Understanding and simulating the export of these chemicals is the first step to control their transport to streams. In this paper, the export of ammonium and phosphate, two major contaminants resulted from agricultural activities ...
