Substrate Specificity of Soybean Lipoxidase

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1969
Abstract Purified soybean lipoxidase was used to test the substrate specificity of all cis,cis-methylene-interrupted isomers of linoleic acid. The natural 9,12-isomer was found to be the best substrate, and the 13,16-isomer 50% as effective. The presence of calcium ions broadened the pattern of specificity.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

The study of a new and specific proline cleaving peptidase from bovine serum [PDF]

, 2003
Prolyl oligopeptidase is a serine peptidase characterised by oligoendopeptidase activity. Definitive evidence for the discrete biological role of prolyl oligopeptidase remains unknown, though its role in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Substrate specificity of bleomycin hydrolase

Biochemical Pharmacology, 1989
Bleomycin (BLM) hydrolase is believed to protect both malignant and normal tissue from the toxicity of the antitumor drug BLM. Little is known about the substrate specificity of BLM hydrolase. Thus, we developed ion-paired reverse phase high speed liquid chromatography systems to assay for the metabolism of several BLM analogs.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...
