Hydroxyurea-Mediated Cytotoxicity Without Inhibition of Ribonucleotide Reductase

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
In many organisms, hydroxyurea (HU) inhibits class I ribonucleotide reductase, leading to lowered cellular pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. The reduced levels for DNA precursors is believed to cause replication fork stalling. Upon treatment of

The Hsp70 co-chaperone Ydj1/HDJ2 regulates ribonucleotide reductase activity.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Hsp70 is a well-conserved molecular chaperone involved in the folding, stabilization, and eventual degradation of many "client" proteins. Hsp70 is regulated by a suite of co-chaperone molecules that assist in Hsp70-client interaction and stimulate the ...

Aerobic Vitamin B12 Biosynthesis Is Essential for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Class II Ribonucleotide Reductase Activity During Planktonic and Biofilm Growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major pathogenic bacterium in chronic infections and is a model organism for studying biofilms. P. aeruginosa is considered an aerobic bacterium, but in the presence of nitrate, it also grows in anaerobic conditions.

Manipulating the Bacterial Cell Cycle and Cell Size by Titrating the Expression of Ribonucleotide Reductase

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Understanding how bacteria coordinate growth with cell cycle events to maintain cell size homeostasis remains a grand challenge in biology. The period of chromosome replication (C period) is a key stage in the bacterial cell cycle. However, the mechanism

Inhibition of the glutaredoxin and thioredoxin systems and ribonucleotide reductase by mutant p53-targeting compound APR-246

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The tumor suppressor p53 is commonly inactivated in human tumors, allowing evasion of p53-dependent apoptosis and tumor progression. The small molecule APR-246 (PRIMA-1Met) can reactive mutant p53 in tumor cells and trigger cell death by apoptosis.

Molecular basis for allosteric specificity regulation in class Ia ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) converts ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides, a reaction that is essential for DNA biosynthesis and repair. This enzyme is responsible for reducing all four ribonucleotide substrates, with specificity regulated by the ...

Ribonucleotide reductase small subunit M2 promotes the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells via HuR-mediated mRNA stabilization [PDF]

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a malignancy of the digestive system, is highly prevalent and the primary cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to the lack of early diagnostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets.

Cryo-EM structure of the EBV ribonucleotide reductase BORF2 and mechanism of APOBEC3B inhibition

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Viruses use a plethora of mechanisms to evade immune responses. A new example is neutralization of the nuclear DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) ribonucleotide reductase subunit BORF2.

RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASES [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 1998
Ribonucleotide reductases provide the building blocks for DNA replication in all living cells. Three different classes of enzymes use protein free radicals to activate the substrate. Aerobic class I enzymes generate a tyrosyl radical with an iron-oxygen center and dioxygen, class II enzymes employ adenosylcobalamin, and the anaerobic class III enzymes
