Switching the substrate specificity of lysoplasmalogen‐specific phospholipase D
Lysoplasmalogen‐specific phospholipase D (LyPls‐PLD) catalyzes reactions in a manner similar to those catalyzed by glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GDPD) and other well‐known PLDs.

Phylogenetic and functional analysis of the Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) family: improved signature and prediction of substrate specificity [PDF]
BACKGROUND The Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) family is a ubiquitous family of heavy metal transporters. Much interest in this family has focused on implications for human health and bioremediation.

Substrate specificity of Ty1 integrase [PDF]
Integration of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposon Ty1 requires the element-encoded integrase (IN) protein, which is a component of cytoplasmic virus-like particles (VLPs). Using purified recombinant Ty1 IN and an oligonucleotide integration assay based on Ty1 long terminal repeat sequences, we have compared IN activity on substrates having ...

Specificity and Kinetics of Haloalkane Dehalogenase [PDF]
Haloalkane dehalogenase converts halogenated alkanes to their corresponding alcohols. The active site is buried inside the protein and lined with hydrophobic residues. The reaction proceeds via a covalent substrate-enzyme complex.

Current understanding of substrate specificity and regioselectivity of LPMOs
Renewable biomass such as cellulose and chitin are the most abundant sustainable sources of energy and materials. However, due to the low degradation efficiency of these recalcitrant substrates by conventional hydrolases, these biomass resources cannot ...

The generation of latent-ion-transport capacity [PDF]
Of the various hypotheses designed to explain the movement of ions from the environment into the plant cell, the most attractive suggests that ions traverse cell membranes in combination with an endogenously produced carrier substance.(1,2) The ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Activation and substrate specificity of the human P4-ATPase ATP8B1
Asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in eukaryotic membranes is essential for cell integrity, signaling pathways, and vesicular trafficking. P4-ATPases, also known as flippases, participate in creating and maintaining this asymmetry through active ...
