Study on the Pyridoxal Kinase of Mouse Brain
The properties of the pyridoxal kinase of mouse brain were studied and the following results were obtained.1. It was concluded that toxopyrimidine seemed to be phosphorylated by the same phosphokinase as pyridoxal based on the following reasons: the mutual competitive inhibition, the coincidence of the metal requirements, the denaturation effects of ...

Prognostic Impact of Vitamin B6 Metabolism in Lung Cancer
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are routinely treated with cytotoxic agents such as cisplatin. Through a genome-wide siRNA-based screen, we identified vitamin B6 metabolism as a central regulator of cisplatin responses in vitro and in ...

Affinity labeling of pyridoxal kinase with adenosine polyphosphopyridoxal.
Pyridoxal kinase is inactivated by preincubation with the affinity label reagent adenosine tetraphosphate pyridoxal (AP4-PL) at a mixing molar ratio of 5:1 AP4-PL contains structural features of the substrates pyridoxal and ATP. The substrate ATP affords substantial protection against inactivation.

Biosynthesis of selenocysteine on its tRNA in eukaryotes.
Selenocysteine (Sec) is cotranslationally inserted into protein in response to UGA codons and is the 21st amino acid in the genetic code. However, the means by which Sec is synthesized in eukaryotes is not known.

Characterization of Two Kinases Involved in Thiamine Pyrophosphate and Pyridoxal Phosphate Biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis : 4-Amino-5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Methylpyrimidine Kinase and Pyridoxal Kinase [PDF]
ABSTRACT Two Bacillus subtilis genes encoding two proteins (currently annotated ThiD and YjbV) were overexpressed and characterized. YjbV has 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine and 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine pyrophosphate kinase activity and should be reannotated ThiD, and

Thyroid Hormone-Responsive Genes in Primary Cultures of Rat Hepatic Cells
Background/Objectives: Thyroid hormones are key regulators in hepatic metabolic pathways. Although they regulate various hepatic genes, only a few are known to be under direct transcriptional regulation through thyroid hormone receptors.
