Do Amino Acid Antiporters Have Asymmetric Substrate Specificity?
Biomolecules, 2023 Amino acid antiporters mediate the 1:1 exchange of groups of amino acids. Whether substrate specificity can be different for the inward and outward facing conformation has not been investigated systematically, although examples of asymmetric transport ...

Structure-based engineering of substrate specificity for pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductases
Nature Communications, 2021 Pinoresinol–lariciresinol reductases (PLRs) are enzymes involved in the lignan biosynthesis. Here, crystal structures of three PLRs in the apo, substrate-bound and product-bound states, and accompanying mutagenesis provide insight into PLRs catalytic ...

Substrate specificity of human ceramide kinase
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Previous studies in our laboratory have established ceramide kinase (CERK) as a critical mediator of eicosanoid synthesis. To date, CERK has not been well characterized in vitro.

Dissecting the Cytochrome P450 OleP Substrate Specificity: Evidence for a Preferential Substrate
Biomolecules, 2020 The cytochrome P450 OleP catalyzes the epoxidation of aliphatic carbons on both the aglycone 8.8a-deoxyoleandolide (DEO) and the monoglycosylated L-olivosyl-8.8a-deoxyoleandolide (L-O-DEO) intermediates of oleandomycin biosynthesis.

Comparative Studies on Retroviral Proteases: Substrate Specificity
Viruses, 2010 Exogenous retroviruses are subclassified into seven genera and include viruses that cause diseases in humans. The viral Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins are processed by the retroviral protease in the last stage of replication and inhibitors of the HIV-1

Substrate specificity of human MCPIP1 endoribonuclease
Scientific Reports, 2018 MCPIP1, also known as Regnase-1, is a ribonuclease crucial for regulation of stability of transcripts related to inflammatory processes. Here, we report that MCPIP1 acts as an endonuclease by degrading several stem-loop RNA structures and single-stranded

Substrate Specificity of Recombinant Ser/Thr Protein Kinase
Bio-Protocol, 2015 Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate proteins in a cell. Determination of kinase activity in reactions of phosphorylation is a very convenient way for a biochemical characterization of this group of enzymes.

Phosphotyrosine Substrate Sequence Motifs for Dual Specificity Phosphatases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Protein tyrosine phosphatases dephosphorylate tyrosine residues of proteins, whereas, dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a subgroup of protein tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate not only Tyr(P) residue, but also the Ser(P) and Thr(P ...
