SPASM and Twitch Domains in S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) Radical Enzymes [PDF]
, 2014 S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM, also known as AdoMet) radical enzymes use SAM and a [4Fe-4S] cluster to catalyze a diverse array of reactions. They adopt a partial triose-phosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel fold with N- and C-terminal extensions that tailor the ...

Characterization of a novel PQQ-dependent quinohemoprotein pyranose dehydrogenase from Coprinopsis cinerea classified into auxiliary activities family 12 in carbohydrate-active enzymes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea contains a quinohemoprotein (CcPDH named as CcSDH in our previous paper), which is a new type of pyrroloquinoline-quinone (PQQ)-dependent pyranose dehydrogenase and is the first found among all eukaryotes.

Characterisation of the PQQ cofactor radical in quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2004 The binding pocket of the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) cofactor in quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases contains a characteristic disulphide ring formed by two adjacent cysteine residues. To analyse the function of this unusual structural motif we have investigated the wild‐type and a double cysteine:alanine mutant of the quinoprotein ethanol ...

Engineering thermal stability and solvent tolerance of the soluble quinoprotein PedE from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 with a heterologous whole-cell screening approach [PDF]
, 2018 Due to their ability for direct electron transfer to electrodes, the utilization of rare earth metals as cofactor, and their periplasmic localization, pyrroloquinoline quinone‐dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ‐ADHs) represent an interesting class of ...
