Do Amino Acid Antiporters Have Asymmetric Substrate Specificity?
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 ...

The substrate specificity of phospholipase A
Investigations on variously modified analogues of phospholipids elucidated the following substrate characteristics for phospholipase A (Crotalus adamanteus). 1. 1. Within the class of α-phosphoglycerides l-isomers are readily hydrolysed, while d-α-phospholipids appeared not to be attacked. 2. 2.

Substrate Specificity of the SecB Chaperone [PDF]
The bacterial chaperone SecB assists translocation of proteins across the inner membrane. The mechanism by which it differentiates between secretory and cytosolic proteins is poorly understood. To identify its binding motif, we screened 2688 peptides covering sequences of 23 proteins for SecB binding.

Substrate Specificity of Biofilms Proximate to Historic Shipwrecks
The number of built structures on the seabed, such as shipwrecks, energy platforms, and pipelines, is increasing in coastal and offshore regions. These structures, typically composed of steel or wood, are substrates for microbial attachment and biofilm ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.

The Substrate Specificity of Fumarase
Abstract The substrate specificity of fumarase has been studied by measuring the ability of the enzyme to hydrate or dehydrate derivatives of fumarate and l-malate. Fumarase was observed to hydrate fumarate and its derivatives in the order, fluorofumarate g fumarate g chlorofumarate g bromofumarate g acetylenedicarboxylate g iodofumarate g mesaconate ...

Differential PROTAC substrate specificity dictated by orientation of recruited E3 ligase
PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are hetero-bifunctional molecules that recruit an E3 ubiquitin ligase to a given substrate protein resulting in its targeted degradation.

Dissecting the Cytochrome P450 OleP Substrate Specificity: Evidence for a Preferential Substrate
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.

Structure-based engineering of substrate specificity for pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductases
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 ...

The Unusual Substrate Specificity of a Virulence Associated Serine Hydrolase from the Highly Toxic Bacterium, \u3cem\u3eFrancisella tularensis\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the highly, infectious disease, tularemia. Amongst the genes identified as essential to the virulence of F. tularensis was the proposed serine hydrolase FTT0941c.
