Divergent architecture of the heterotrimeric NatC complex explains N-terminal acetylation of cognate substrates

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The conserved eukaryotic heterotrimeric NatC complex co-translationally acetylates the N-termini of numerous target proteins. Here, the authors provide insights into the catalytic mechanism of NatC by determining the crystal structures of Saccharomyces ...

A Cyclized Helix‐Loop‐Helix Peptide as a Molecular Scaffold for Cell‐Membrane Permeable Inhibitors for the Interaction Between Estrogen Receptor α and Coactivator SRC1

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
A cyclized helix‐loop‐helix (cHLH) peptide is used as a molecular scaffold to generate cell‐permeable protein–protein interactions inhibitors by bifunctional grafting. The steroid receptor coactivator‐1 (SRC1) epitope (red) was grafted onto the C‐terminal helix, and six arginine residues (cyan) were grafted onto the other helix.

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

A Microtiter Plate Assay as a Reliable Method to Assure the Identification and Classification of the Veil-Forming Yeasts during Sherry Wines Ageing

open access: yesFermentation, 2017
Yeasts involved in veil formation during biological ageing of Sherry wines are mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and they have traditionally been divided into four races or varieties: beticus, cheresiensis, montuliensis and rouxii.

In Vivo Biosynthesis and Direct Incorporation of Non‐Canonical Amino Acids into Proteins

open access: yesChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Autonomous cells are engineered biological systems capable of biosynthesising and directly incorporating non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. These systems have the potential to extend the applicability of the genetic code to enable large‐scale fermentative production of proteins carrying ncAAs.

Shifting the Substrate Scope of an Ene/Yne‐Reductase by Loop Engineering

open access: yesChemCatChem, EarlyView.
A flexible active‐site loop that is involved in shaping the substrate and product cleft as well as the active‐site pocket was identified for the MDR‐related ene/yne‐reductase CaeEnR1 from Cyclocybe aegerita. Double mutations of this loop showed an up to 20‐fold increase in conversion rates toward cinnamaldehyde‐like substrates and a 2‐fold increase in ...

Ecologic and Economic Evaluation of Combined Methanol Synthesis from CO2 and Biotechnological Upgrading to Value Products. Part 1: Environmental Impact

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The combination of methanol synthesis and biotechnological upgrading to value‐added products still faces some challenges in order to achieve a positive environmental impact and thus the goal of synergetic development of biotechnological and chemical processes.

Synthesis of 19‐Hydroxyarachidonic Acid by Fungal Peroxygenases: An Experimental and Computational Study

open access: yesChemSusChem, EarlyView.
An experimental and computational investigation on the regio‐ and enantioselective hydroxylation of arachidonic acid by several unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) revealed rAaeUPO A77L variant as the most attractive candidate for the selective production of valuable hydroxy‐fatty acids because of its enhanced regio and enantioselectivity and reduced ...
