A mitochondrial enzyme degrades carotenoids and protects against oxidative stress.
Carotenoids are the precursors for vitamin A and are proposed to prevent oxidative damage to cells. Mammalian genomes encode a family of structurally related nonheme iron oxygenases that modify double bonds of these compounds by oxidative cleavage and cis-to-trans isomerization. The roles of the family members BCMO1 and RPE65 for vitamin A production and vision have been well established. Surpr...
متن کاملDiversification of function in the haloacid dehalogenase enzyme superfamily: The role of the cap domain in hydrolytic phosphoruscarbon bond cleavage.
Phosphonatase functions in the 2-aminoethylphosphonate (AEP) degradation pathway of bacteria, catalyzing the hydrolysis of the C-P bond in phosphonoacetaldehyde (Pald) via formation of a bi-covalent Lys53ethylenamine/Asp12 aspartylphosphate intermediate. Because phosphonatase is a member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily, a family predominantly comprised of phosphatases, the question ari...
متن کاملOptimization of hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme methods for ecosystem studies
Microbial digestive enzymes in soil and litter have been studied for over a half century, yet the understanding of microbial enzymes as drivers of ecosystem processes remains hindered by methodological differences among researchers and laboratories. Modern techniques enable the comparison of enzyme activities from different sites and experiments, but most researchers do not optimize enzyme assa...
متن کاملA microbial carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage enzyme requires two protein components for activity.
Enterobacter aerogenes IFO 12010 contains a carbon-phosphorus (C-P) bond cleavage enzyme catalyzing the liberation of inorganic phosphate from various alkyl- and phenylphosphonic acids. The enzyme in the bacterium was found to be composed of two physically different protein components, E2 and E3. The molecular weights of E2 and E3 were 560,000 and 110,000, respectively, and E3 was resolved into...
متن کاملTautomerization lowers the activation barriers for N-glycosidic bond cleavage of protonated uridine and 2'-deoxyuridine.
The gas-phase conformations of protonated uridine, [Urd+H](+), and its 2'-deoxy form, protonated 2'-deoxyuridine, [dUrd+H](+), have been examined in detail previously by infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy techniques. Both 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers and O4 protonated conformers of [Urd+H](+) and [dUrd+H](+) were found to coexist in the experiments with the 2,4-dihydroxy tauto...
