Understanding Structural Features of Microbial Lipases—An Overview
The structural elucidations of microbial lipases have been of prime interest since the 1980s. Knowledge of structural features plays an important role in designing and engineering lipases for specific purposes. Significant structural data have been presented for few microbial lipases, while, there is still a structure-deficit, that is, most lipase structures are yet to be resolved. A search for...
متن کاملAdvances in the structural understanding of Vif proteins.
The multidomain HIV-1 Vif protein recruits several cellular partners to achieve neutralization of the antiviral activity of APOBEC3 proteins. Vif neutralizes APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F predominantly by forming an E3 ubiquitin ligase with Cullin5, ElonginB and ElonginC that targets these proteins for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Vif associates with the Cullin5-ElonginB-ElonginC co...
متن کاملAdvances in understanding glycosyltransferases from a structural perspective
Glycosyltransferases (GTs), the enzymes that catalyse glycosidic bond formation, create a diverse range of saccharides and glycoconjugates in nature. Understanding GTs at the molecular level, through structural and kinetic studies, is important for gaining insights into their function. In addition, this understanding can help identify those enzymes which are involved in diseases, or that could ...
متن کاملAdvances in understanding sepsis.
Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory response to infection, is a leading cause of death in intensive care units. Recent investigations into the pathogenesis of sepsis reveal a biphasic inflammatory process. An early phase is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. tumour necrosis factor-alpha), whereas a late phase is mediated by an inflammatory high-mobility group box 1 and an anti-inflam...
متن کاملAdvances in understanding Pseudomonas
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the type species of pseudomonads, is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes a wide range of niches. Current genome sequencing projects are producing previously inconceivable detail about the population biology and evolution of P. aeruginosa. Its pan-genome has a larger genetic repertoire than the human genome, which explains the broad metabolic capabilities of P. aerug...
