Aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase III, a new phosphotransferase. Resistance mechanism.

open access: yesThe Journal of Antibiotics, 1975
The aminoglycoside phosphotransferase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 21-75 was purified by affinity chromatography using dibekacin-Sephadex 4B or lividomycin A-Sepharose 4B followed by DEAE Sephadex A-50 chromatography. It had activities of both the known aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferases I and II, and transferred phosphate from ATP to the 3'-hydroxyl ...

Prospects for circumventing aminoglycoside kinase mediated antibiotic resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Unfortunately, resistance in clinical isolates is pervasive, rendering many aminoglycosides ineffective.

Enzymes are enriched in bacterial essential genes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Essential genes, those indispensable for the survival of an organism, play a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology. Characterization of functions encoded by essential genes not only has important practical implications, such as in identifying

Profiling tear film enzymes reveals major metabolic pathways involved in the homeostasis of the ocular surface

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The ocular surface (OS) enzymes are of great interest due to their potential for novel ocular drug development. We aimed first to profile and classify the enzymes of the OS to describe major biological processes and pathways that are involved in the ...

Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical Analysis of the Catalytic Mechanism of Phosphoserine Phosphatase

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP), a member of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily that comprises the vast majority of phosphotransferases, is likely a steady-state regulator of the level of d-serine in the brain.

Glyoxalase I gene deletion mutants of Leishmania donovani exhibit reduced methylglyoxal detoxification. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Glyoxalase I is a metalloenzyme of the glyoxalase pathway that plays a central role in eliminating the toxic metabolite methyglyoxal. The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani possesses a unique trypanothione dependent glyoxalase system ...

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation

Pan2‐Pan3 Complex‐Mediated Deadenylation Enforces mRNA Quality Control for Infection of the Rice Blast Fungus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Discovery that deadenylation, rather than transcription, acts as the rate‐limiting step for developmental timing in a plant pathogen. Evidence that P‐body integrity and mRNA decay are mechanistically coupled to rapid cellular differentiation under environmental stress. Identification of Pan2‐Pan3 as a pathogen‐specific “meta‐virulence factor” absent in

Analysis of somatic mutations across the kinome reveals loss-of-function mutations in multiple cancer types

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
In this study we use somatic cancer mutations to identify important functional residues within sets of related genes. We focus on protein kinases, a superfamily of phosphotransferases that share homologous sequences and structural motifs and have many ...
