Glutarate regulates T cell metabolism and anti-tumour immunity [PDF]
T cell function and fate can be influenced by several metabolites: in some cases, acting through enzymatic inhibition of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, in others, through post-translational modification of lysines in important targets.

Expression, Lipoylation and Structure Determination of Recombinant Pea H‐Protein in Escherichia coli [PDF]
A synthetic gene encoding the entire mature H protein of the glycine decarboxylase complex from pea (Pisum sativum L.) was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant H protein, which after the induction period constituted more than half of the E. coli protein, was found in a soluble form.

The Amidase Domain of Lipoamidase Specifically Inactivates Lipoylated Proteins In Vivo
In the 1950s, Reed and coworkers discovered an enzyme activity in Streptococcus faecalis (Enterococcus faecalis) extracts that inactivated the Escherichia. coli and E. faecalis pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes through cleavage of the lipoamide bond. The enzyme that caused this lipoamidase activity remained unidentified until Jiang and Cronan discovered

Distinctive phosphoinositide- and Ca²⁺-binding properties of normal and cognitive performance–linked variant forms of KIBRA C2 domain [PDF]
Kidney- and brain-expressed protein (KIBRA), a multifunctional scaffold protein with around 20 known binding partners, is involved in memory and cognition, organ size control via the Hippo pathway, cell polarity, and membrane trafficking.

Identification and Solution Structures of a Single Domain Biotin/Lipoyl Attachment Protein from Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Protein biotinylation and lipoylation are post-translational modifications, in which biotin or lipoic acid is covalently attached to specific proteins containing biotin/lipoyl attachment domains. All the currently reported natural proteins containing biotin/lipoyl attachment domains are multidomain proteins and can only be modified by either biotin or ...
