Structural Basis for the Catalysis and Substrate Specificity of a LarA Racemase with a Broad Substrate Spectrum. [PDF]
The LarA family consists of diverse racemases/epimerases that interconvert the diastereomers of α-hydroxyacids by using a nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor.

By using a genetically modified mouse model and viral tracing approaches, we mapped both the anterograde and the retrograde projections of a subpopulation of neurons in the anterior paraventricular thalamic nucleus, molecularly defined by the expression of glucokinase (GckaPVT).

(S)‐3‐aminopiperidine‐2,6‐dione is a biosynthetic intermediate of microbial blue pigment indigoidine
Abstract The biosynthetic investigations of microbial natural products continuously provide powerful biocatalysts for the preparation of valuable chemicals. Practical methods for preparing (S)‐3‐aminopiperidine‐2,6‐dione (2), the pharmacophore of thalidomide (1) and its analog drugs, are highly desired.

リボソームペプチドの複数アミノ酸残基を異性化する新規エピメラーゼ [PDF]
Salinipeptins, grisemycin, and cypemycin are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Among these, salinipeptins were reported to comprise 22 amino acid residues with multiple D-amino acids, and its biosynthetic gene ...

Advances in Key Drug Target Identification and New Drug Development for Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a severe infectious disease worldwide. The increasing emergence of drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has markedly hampered TB control. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new anti‐TB drugs to treat drug‐resistant TB and shorten the standard therapy.

Advances of capillary electrophoresis enantioseparations in pharmaceutical analysis (2017–2020)
Abstract Capillary electrophoresis is a powerful technique for the analysis of polar chiral compounds and has been widely accepted for analytical enantioseparations of drug compounds in pharmaceuticals and biological media. In addition, many mechanistic studies have been conducted in an attempt to rationalize enantioseparations in combination with ...

Uncovering a superfamily of nickel-dependent hydroxyacid racemases and epimerases
Isomerization reactions are fundamental in biology. Lactate racemase, which isomerizes L- and D-lactate, is composed of the LarA protein and a nickel-containing cofactor, the nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN).

Transcriptomic data indicates that gene expression responses underlying developmental thermal plasticity differ from those of short‐term acclimation temperature in the butterfly Pieris rapae. We also identify a small subset of genes for which expression levels depend on the interaction of developmental temperature and short‐term acclimation temperature.
