Conservation of the Enzyme–Coenzyme Interfaces in FAD and NADP Binding Adrenodoxin Reductase—A Ubiquitous Enzyme

@article{Hanukoglu2017ConservationOT,  title={Conservation of the Enzyme–Coenzyme Interfaces in FAD and NADP Binding Adrenodoxin Reductase—A Ubiquitous Enzyme},  author={Israel Hanukoglu},  journal={Journal of Molecular Evolution},  year={2017},  volume={85},  pages={205 - 218},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:7120148}}
The phylogenetic distribution of AdxR is documents by examining whole genome databases for Metazoa, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista, and determines the conserved structural features of AdXR, which maintains the precise positioning of the two coenzymes for optimal electron transfer between NADP and FAD without electron leakage to other acceptors.

Utilization of Spectrochemical Analysis and Diffuse Optical Techniques to Reveal Adulteration of Alike Fish Species and Their Microbial Contamination

LIF laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), as a spectrochemical analytical technique and diffuse optical measurements, has been used to discriminate between fillets of low-priced Tilapia and expensive Nile Perch and disclose microbial contamination in any.

Single- and Two-Electron Reduction of Nitroaromatic Compounds by Flavoenzymes: Mechanisms and Implications for Cytotoxicity

This review addresses the intrinsic redox properties of ArNO2, in particular, the energetics of their single- and two-electron reduction in aqueous medium and the mechanisms and structure-activity relationships of reduction in Ar NO2 by flavoenzymes.

The Biochemical Pathways of Nicotinamide-Derived Pyridones

It is demonstrated that the ribosylated form of one of the pyridones, the 4-pyridone-3-carboxamide riboside (4PYR), causes HepG3 cells to die by autophagy; a process that occurs at concentrations that are comparable to physiological concentrations of this species in the plasma in AKI patients.

Alternating handedness motifs in proteins classify structure and cofactor binding

This work identifies unique alternating handedness structural motifs which are specific to the cofactors they bind which can guide the design of engineered folds that utilize specific cofactor and also enable us to gain a deeper insight into the evolution of the structure of cofactor binding sites.

This minireview describes medically significant human P450s (from families 2, 4, 7, 11, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27, 46, and 51) and the diseases associated with these P 450s.

Reversal of the extreme coenzyme selectivity of Clostridium symbiosum glutamate dehydrogenase

Three mutations of glutamate dehydrogenase, previously identified as having a potential bearing on coenzyme specificity, did not engender any further shift in preference when incorporated into the triple mutant, despite having a significant effect when expressed as a single mutant.

Conserved residue clusters at protein-protein interfaces and their use in binding site identification

Protein-protein interaction sites are much larger than small molecule biding sites, but still conserved residues are not randomly distributed over the whole interface and are distinctly clustered, having important implications for the identification of protein-protein binding sites and would have applications in docking studies.

rtracklayer: an R package for interfacing with genome browsers

The rtracklayer package supports the integration of existing genome browsers with experimental data analyses performed in R and may be used to transfer annotation tracks to and from a genome browser and create and manipulate browser views to focus on a particular set of annotations in a specific genomic region.

The endogenous adrenodoxin reductase-like flavoprotein arh1 supports heterologous cytochrome P450-dependent substrate conversions in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Evidence is presented that the S. pombe ferredoxin reductase, arh1, and ferred toxin, etp1fd provide mammalian class I cytochromes P450 with reduction equivalents, and that Arh1_A18G can substitute for AdR by interacting not only with its natural redox partner etp 1fd but also with the mammalian homolog adrenodoxin.
