Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Genomic organisation and alternative splicing of mouse and human thioredoxin reductase 1 genes
BMC Genomics, 2001 Background Thioredoxin reductase (TR) is a redox active protein involved in many cellular processes as part of the thioredoxin system. Presently there are three recognised forms of mammalian thioredoxin reductase designated as TR1, TR3 and TGR, that ...

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications
Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...

Thioredoxin system – a novel therapeutic target
General physiology and biophysics, 2015 Nowadays there are numerous pathogens that have created a resistance to commonly used antibiotics and drugs. Therefore research is focused on finding new therapeutic targets and on determination of their 3D structures that could help in designing new effective substances and inhibitors.

Modulating skin colour: role of the thioredoxin and glutathione systems in regulating melanogenesis
, 2021 Different skin colour among individuals is determined by the varying amount and types of melanin pigment. Melanin is produced in melanocytes, a type of dendritic cell located in the basal layer of the epidermis, through the process of melanogenesis ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd2+) contamination in agricultural soils has been reported to pose risks to crop productivity, food safety, and human health. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms by which essential (S, Zn, Fe, Mg, K, Ca) and beneficial (Si, Se, rare earth elements) elements mitigate Cd2+ toxicity in plants.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
