Combined 5‐aminolevulinic acid and ferric ammonium citrate treatment promotes hair follicle growth by activating dermal papilla cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
5‐Aminolevulinic acid combined with ferric ammonium citrate (5‐ALA/FAC) stimulates dermal papilla cell activity and promotes hair follicle growth. The treatment enhances ERK and AKT signaling, increases hair‐inductive gene expression, and restores dermal papilla function suppressed by dihydrotestosterone and oxidative stress, resulting in enhanced hair

Comparative studies on the soluble and plasma membrane associated nitrate reductase from Cucumis sativus L.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The biochemical comparison between two forms of nitrate reductase from cucumber roots: the soluble enzyme and the plasma membrane-associated one was made. Soluble nitrate reductase was purified on the blue-Sepharose 4B.

Dihydrodipicolinic Acid Reductase

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974
Abstract The enzyme dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase catalyzes a pyridine nucleotide-linked reduction of dihydrodipicolinic acid to tetrahydrodipicolinic acid in the biosynthetic pathway leading to diaminopimelic acid and lysine in bacteria. Modification of the procedure published previously and additional purification steps led to a preparation of ...

Aldose and Aldehyde Reductase Exhibit Isocorticosteroid Reductase Activity [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983
In this paper we describe the reduction of corticosteroid metabolites containing the 17 beta-aldol side chain (isocorticosteroids) by aldose and aldehyde reductase from human tissues. Aldose reductase catalyzed the reduction of the aldehydes derived from cortisol and corticosterone at about the same rate, whereas aldehyde reductase preferentially acted

Identification of YdhV as the first molybdoenzyme binding a Bis-Mo-MPT cofactor in escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2019
The oxidoreductase YdhV in Escherichia coli has been predicted to belong to the family of molybdenum/tungsten cofactor (Moco/Wco)-containing enzymes. In this study, we characterized the YdhV protein in detail, which shares amino acid sequence homology ...

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Activation of HMG-CoA reductase by microsomal phosphatase

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
HMG-CoA reductase activity can be modulated by a reversible phosphorylation-dephosphorylation with the phosphorylated form of the enzyme being inactive and the dephosphorylated form, active. Phosphatases from diverse sources, including cytosol, have been

Tamoxifen-like metallocifens target thioredoxin system determining mitochondrial impairment leading to apoptosis in Jurkat cells [PDF]

, 2017
Tamoxifen-like metallocifens (TLMs) of the group-8 metals (Fe, Ru, and Os) show strong anti-proliferative activity on cancer cell lines resistant to apoptosis, owing to their unique redox properties. In contrast, the thioredoxin system, which is involved

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...
