Generation of an Escherichia coli strain growing on methanol via the ribulose monophosphate cycle

Nature Communications, 2022
Using one carbon compounds as feedstock is a promising approach in abating climate change. Here, the authors report the conversion of E. coli into a synthetic methylotroph that assimilates methanol via the ribulose monophosphate cycle and a set of ...

Structure, kinetic characterization and subcellular localization of the two ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase isoenzymes from Trypanosoma cruzi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) ribulose-5-phosphate-epimerase (RPE) is encoded by two genes present in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener clone: TcRPE1 and TcRPE2. Despite high sequence similarity at the amino acid residue level,

The hydrogen peroxide-sensitive proteome of the chloroplast in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) evolves during cellular metabolism and accumulates under various stresses causing serious redox imbalances. Many proteomics studies aiming to identify proteins sensitive to H2O2 used concentrations that were above the ...

Crystal structure of a novel homodimeric l‐ribulose 3‐epimerase from Methylomonus sp.

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
d‐Allulose has potential as a low‐calorie sweetener which can suppress fat accumulation. Several enzymes capable of d‐allulose production have been isolated, including d‐tagatose 3‐epimerases.

Experimental evidence for extra proton exchange in ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase catalysis

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2022
Despite considerable advances in the past 50 y, the mechanism of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalysis is still not well understood.

Exogenous trehalose differently improves photosynthetic carbon assimilation capacities in maize and wheat under heat stress

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022
High temperature inhibits the growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. The current study attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of exogenous trehalose for the improvement of maize and wheat ...

Improving the Production of Riboflavin by Introducing a Mutant Ribulose 5-Phosphate 3-Epimerase Gene in Bacillus subtilis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) and guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP) are two key precursors of riboflavin, whereby Ru5P is also a precursor of GTP. Ribulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase (Rpe) catalyzes the conversion of ribulose 5-phosphate into xylulose 5 ...
