The Substrate Specificity of Sirtuins.
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent enzymes universally present in all organisms, where they play central roles in regulating numerous biological processes. Although early studies showed that sirtuins deacetylated lysines in a reaction that consumes NAD+, more recent studies have revealed that these enzymes can remove a variety of acyl-lysine modifications ...

The Substrate Specificity of Pantethinase [PDF]
The substrate specificty of pantethinase, the mammalian enzyme which has been isolated from horse kidney cortex, has been studied. The real substrate has been found to be pantetheine in the reduced form, and the involvement of one or more—SH groups of the enzyme is also considered.A number of other compounds, chemically related to pantetheine, has also

Tocopherol Cyclases-Substrate Specificity and Phylogenetic Relations. [PDF]
In the present studies, we focused on substrate specificity of tocopherol cyclase, the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the tocopherols and plastochromanol-8, the main plant lipid antioxidants, with special emphasis on the preference for tocopherols and

Main Structural Targets for Engineering Lipase Substrate Specificity
Microbial lipases represent one of the most important groups of biotechnological biocatalysts. However, the high-level production of lipases requires an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gene expression, folding, and secretion processes ...

An atlas of substrate specificities for the human serine/threonine kinome
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most widespread post-translational modifications in biology^ 1 , 2 . With advances in mass-spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics, 90,000 sites of serine and threonine phosphorylation have so far been identified, and ...

Substrate specificity of the human proteasome [PDF]
Regulated proteolysis by the proteasome is crucial for a broad array of cellular processes, from control of the cell cycle to production of antigens.The rules governing the N-terminal primary and extended substrate specificity of the human 20S proteasome in the presence or absence of 11S proteasome activators (REGalpha/beta and REGgamma) have been ...

Substrate specificity of rat brain ceramidase
In this study, the substrate specificity of a newly identified rat brain ceramidase (CDase) was investigated. To this end, the major functional groups and stereochemistry of ceramide (Cer) were evaluated for their influence on the hydrolysis of substrate
