Expression, purification and preliminary pharmacological characterization of the Plasmodium falciparum membrane-bound pyrophosphatase type 1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Membrane-bound pyrophosphatases are integral membrane proteins that catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate into orthophosphate, while simultaneously facilitating the pumping of protons and/or sodium ions.

Distinct Phage‐Encoded Enzymes for Substitution of Deoxythymidine by Deoxyuridine in Phage Genomes

open access: yesAdvanced Science
DNA base modification is a common strategy used by bacteriophages to evade host immune detection. A prominent example is dU‐DNA, where thymidine is globally replaced with 2′‐deoxyuridine.

Identification and Characterization of Inorganic Pyrophosphatase and PAP Phosphatase from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1

open access: yes, 2009
Two hypothetical genes were functionally verified to be a pyrophosphatase and a PAP phosphatase in Thermococcus onnurineus NA1. This is the first report of the pyrophosphatases and the PAP phosphatases being organized in the gene clusters of the sulfate ...

Does expression of pyrophosphatases improve seedling vigour and salinity tolerance in barley?

open access: yes, 2016
© 2016 Dr. Amrita Ghosh DuttaGlobally, more than 800 million hectares of land are salt affected, which comprises more than 6% of total land area. Soil salinity reduces agricultural productivity and thus the generation of salt-tolerant crops will be ...

The Crystal Structure of the Cytosolic Exopolyphosphatase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Reveals the Basis for Substrate Specificity

open access: yes, 2007
Inorganic long-chain polyphosphate is a ubiquitous linear polymer in biology, consisting of many phosphate moieties linked by phosphoanhydride bonds. It is synthesized by polyphosphate kinase, and metabolised by a number of enzymes, including exo- and ...

Genome-Wide Identification of the V-Type Proton Pump Gene Family in Melon and Analysis of Its Expression Under Salt Stress

open access: yesHorticulturae
Plant vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-type H+-ATPases, VHA) and vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatases (V-PPase, VHP) are key proton pumps. VHA and VHP regulate cellular pH homeostasis and ion transport via the proton motive force across the vacuolar membrane, functioning ...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of membrane-bound pyrophosphatases.

open access: yes, 2013
Membrane-bound pyrophosphatases (M-PPases) are enzymes that enhance the survival of plants, protozoans and prokaryotes in energy constraining stress conditions. These proteins use pyrophosphate, a waste product of cellular metabolism, as an energy source

Chapter Three - Defining Dynamics of Membrane-Bound Pyrophosphatases by Experimental and Computational Single-Molecule FRET

open access: yes, 2018
Membrane-bound pyrophosphatases couple the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate to the pumping of ions (sodium or protons) across a membrane in order to generate an electrochemical gradient.
