First Experimental Structure of a 1:1 Metal Complex with a PQQ Cofactor Derivative outside Dehydrogenase Enzymes

Inorganic Chemistry, 1999
Qualitatively similar metal coordination as in PQQ-dependent bacterial dehydrogenases was observed for the PQQ triester in the model complex I, although the unusual five-coordinate copper(I) center...

PQQ or TOPA? A theoretical suggestion for the organic cofactor of amine oxidases

Computational and Theoretical Chemistry, 1992
Abstract Bovine serum amine oxidase contains a quinoid cofactor which was first identified as PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) and recently as TOPA, the oxidized form of 6-hydroxydopa. Theoretical ab initio and PPP calculations were performed on the two molecules. The comparison of the electronic spectrum of the enzyme and of its phenylhydrazine adduct

Protein lysine 6-oxidase (lysyl oxidase) cofactor: Methoxatin (PQQ) or pyridoxal?

International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1988
1. Treatment of chick embryos with two lathyrogens lowered lysyl oxidase and increased collagen extractability. 2. Subsequent treatment with pyridoxal restored both parameters towards normal, whereas PQQ treatment was less effective. 3. These results suggest the requirement of a pyridoxal derivative for the formation of the enzyme, acting either as ...

Synthesis of Imidazolo Analogues of the Oxidation−Reduction Cofactor Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2004
Parallel syntheses of 2-hydro-, 2-methyl-, and 2-methoxycarbonylimidazo-7,9-dimethoxycarbonyl analogues of the oxidation-reduction cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone [4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinoline-2,7,9-tricarboxylic acid] have been developed. The properties of the imidazolo analogues in relation to the corresponding pyrrole analogues

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)

Textbook of Natural Medicine, 2020
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a novel vitamin-like compound that acts as an essential active factor in the functioning of mitochondria. However, as higher organisms do not seem to biosynthesize PQQ, the major source in humans is the diet. In addition

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) Attenuates Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Injury Through the Enhancement of Mitochondrial Function in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Mitochondrial metabolism in the trabecular meshwork (TM) plays a critical role in maintaining intraocular pressure homeostasis by supporting the energy-demanding processes involved in aqueous humour outflow.

Biochemistry: role of PQQ as a mammalian enzyme cofactor?

Nature, 2005
The announcement by Kasahara and Kato of a new redox-cofactor vitamin for mammals, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), was based on their claim that an enzyme, predicted to be involved in mouse lysine metabolism, is a PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase. However, this claim was dependent on a sequence analysis using databases that inappropriately label beta ...
