Substrate specificities of bacterial and human AlkB proteins.
Methylating agents introduce cytotoxic 1-methyladenine (1-meA) and 3-methylcytosine (3-meC) residues into nucleic acids, and it was recently demonstrated that the Escherichia coli AlkB protein and two human homologues, hABH2 and hABH3, can remove these lesions from DNA by oxidative demethylation. Moreover, AlkB and hABH3 were also found to remove 1-meA and 3-meC from RNA, suggesting that cellul...
متن کاملAlteration of substrate specificities of thermophilic α/β hydrolases through domain swapping and domain interface optimization.
Protein domain swapping is an efficient way in protein functional evolution in vivo and also has been proved to be an effective strategy to modify the function of the multi-domain proteins in vitro. To explore the potentials of domain swapping for alteration of the enzyme substrate specificities and the structure-function relationship of the homologous proteins, here we constructed two chimeras...
متن کاملThe four aldehyde oxidases of Drosophila melanogaster have different gene expression patterns and enzyme substrate specificities.
In the genome of Drosophila melanogaster, four genes coding for aldehyde oxidases (AOX1-4) were identified on chromosome 3. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the AOX gene cluster evolved via independent duplication events in the vertebrate and invertebrate lineages. The functional role and the substrate specificity of the distinct Drosophila AOX enzymes is unknown. Two loss-of-function mutant a...
متن کاملSubstrate specificities of caspase family proteases.
The caspase family represents a new class of intracellular cysteine proteases with known or suspected roles in cytokine maturation and apoptosis. These enzymes display a preference for Asp in the P1 position of substrates. To clarify differences in the biological roles of the interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE) family proteases, we have examined in detail the specificities beyond the P1 p...
متن کاملThe Pellino E3 Ubiquitin Ligases Recognize Specific Phosphothreonine Motifs and Have Distinct Substrate Specificities
The four mammalian Pellinos (Pellinos 1, 2, 3a, and 3b) are E3 ubiquitin ligases that are emerging as critical mediators for a variety of immune signaling pathways, including those activated by Toll-like receptors, the T-cell receptor, and NOD2. It is becoming increasingly clear that each Pellino has a distinct role in facilitating immune receptor signaling. However, the underlying mechanisms b...
