In Drosophila, ensheathing glia encase the neuropil but their function is not well understood. Here the authors show a surprising role of ensheathing glia in regulating glutamate homeostasis and locomotion which is controlled by the sulfite oxidase ...

MoS2-based nanocomposites for cancer diagnosis and therapy
Molybdenum is a trace dietary element necessary for the survival of humans. Some molybdenum-bearing enzymes are involved in key metabolic activities in the human body (such as xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase). Many molybdenum-based

Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency: a founder mutation [PDF]
Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of sulfur metabolism. Clinical features generally include devastating neurologic dysfunction, ectopia lentis, and increased urinary excretion of sulfite, thiosulfate, and S-sulfocysteine.

To date, only three microorganisms have been functionally characterised for sulfur disproportionation. Our work identifies a fourth example and provides novel proteomic insights into its underlying pathways. These findings advance our understanding of microbial sulfur catabolism and highlight the ecological role of D.

Beyond Moco Biosynthesis―Moonlighting Roles of MoaE and MOCS2
Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis requires iron, copper, and ATP. The Moco-containing enzyme sulfite oxidase catalyzes terminal oxidation in oxidative cysteine catabolism, and another Moco-containing enzyme, xanthine dehydrogenase, functions in ...

Enzymes of the 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase group catalyze the condensation of formyl‐CoA with aldehydes or ketones. Thus, by structural adaptation of active sites, practically any pharmaceutically and industrially important 2‐hydroxyacid could be biotechnologically synthesized. Combining crystal structure analysis, active site mutations and kinetic assays,

This study investigates the effectiveness of l‐cysteine and sodium metabisulfite (1% solutions) in reducing enzymatic browning and preserving antioxidant properties in fresh‐cut quince slices stored at 4°C for 9 days. l‐cysteine proved more effective than sodium metabisulfite in maintaining color brightness and enhancing antioxidant activity by ...

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

Sulfite oxidase (SO) plays a pivotal role in sulfite metabolism. In our previous study, sulfite-oxidizing function of the SO from Zea mays (ZmSO) was characterized. To date, the knowledge of ZmSO’s involvement in abiotic stress response is scarce.
