Biotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Phocaeicola vulgatus (formerly Bacteroides vulgatus), an anaerobic gut bacterium, produces several organic acids. Research on P. vulgatus is still in its infancy. However, a detailed understanding of P. vulgatus growth and metabolism is essential for its assessment as an organic acid producer.

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.This study describes the successful identification of ancestral sequences N50 and N49, which have a longer half‐life of approximately four and two times the wild‐type Sp‐amine transaminase, respectively.. This approach effectively enhances the thermal stability of the transaminase.

Functional characterization and structure-guided mutational analysis of the transsulfuration enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase from toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2018 Sulfur-containing amino acids play essential roles in many organisms. The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii includes the genes for cystathionine β-synthase and cystathionine γ-lyase (TgCGL), as well as for cysteine synthase, which are crucial enzymes ...

The Streptomyces coelicolor small ORF trpM stimulates growth and morphological development and exerts opposite effects on actinorhodin and calcium-dependent antibiotic production [PDF]
, 2020 In actinomycetes, antibiotic production is often associated with a morpho-physiological differentiation program that is regulated by complex molecular and metabolic networks. Many aspects of these regulatory circuits have been already elucidated and many

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.Organisms use amino acids predominantly in l‐configuration. On the other hand, a series of studies show that a variety of d‐amino acids also occur in mammals and amino acid homochirality is not complete. Mammals de novo synthesize most amino acids with l‐configuration, but serine and aspartate are converted from l‐ to d‐configuration by endogenous ...

Transfer of Sulfur from IscS to IscU during Fe/S Cluster Assembly [PDF]
, 2001 The cysteine desulfurase enzymes NifS and IscS provide sulfur for the biosynthesis of Fe/S proteins. NifU and IscU have been proposed to serve as template or scaffold proteins in the initial Fe/S cluster assembly events, but the mechanism of sulfur ...

Biosynthesis of Ephedrine is Initiated by Pyridoxal Phosphate‐Dependent Formation of Cathinone
ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.Ephedra alkaloids possess some of the most basic structures of alkaloids. Despite their importance for human use and their commercial relevance, the biosynthesis of ephedra alkaloids has remained enigmatic. The predominant biosynthetic pathway in the literature proposes a thiamine‐dependent caboligation followed by a transaminase, although no candidate

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

The binding of pyridoxal to hemoglobin.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1982 Concentrative uptake of pyridoxal by human erythrocytes has been investigated using a rapid mixing technique with 3H-labeled pyridoxal. A nonsaturable, initial influx of [3H]pyridoxal into the erythrocyte indicated passive diffusion. Since pyridoxal will form Schiff bases reversibly with amino acids, the possibility of binding to intracellular proteins

Efficacy of phenobarbital is maintained after exposure to mild‐to‐moderate seizures in neonates
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract To study the relationship between the delay in treatment and the efficacy of phenobarbital in neonates, we re‐analyzed data from the NEOLEV2 study. Continuous video EEG (cEEG) from patients treated with phenobarbital was reviewed by neurophysiologists who marked each seizure.
