Structure, mechanism and ensemble formation of the alkylhydroperoxide reductase subunits AhpC and AhpF from Escherichia coli.
Hydroperoxides are reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are toxic to all cells and must be converted into the corresponding alcohols to alleviate oxidative stress. In Escherichia coli, the enzyme primarily responsible for this reaction is alkylhydroperoxide reductase (AhpR). Here, the crystal structures of both of the subunits of EcAhpR, EcAhpF (57 kDa) and EcAhpC (21 kDa), have been solved. The ...
متن کاملMammalian antioxidant protein complements alkylhydroperoxide reductase (ahpC) mutation in Escherichia coli.
The MER5 [now called the Aop1 (antioxidant protein 1) gene] was cloned as a transiently expressed gene of murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cell differentiation and its antisense expression inhibited differentiation of MEL cells. We found that the Aop1 gene shows significant nucleotide sequence similarity to the gene coding for the C22 subunit of Salmonella typhimurium alkylhydroperoxide reductase,...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic interconversion of NADH and NAD(+) by Escherichia coli flavohemoglobin.
E. coli flavohemoglobin, oriented at electrodes via amphiphilic polymyxin B, electrocatalytically interconverts NADH and NAD(+) at its heme potentials operating as an electron transfer relay between the electrode and the protein FAD, where NADH/NAD(+) is transformed. The results are crucial for the development of NAD(+)-dependent bioelectrodes for biosynthesis, biosensors and biofuel cells.
متن کاملEscherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase expression is cell cycle regulated.
The expression of the genes encoding ribonucleotide reductase in Escherichia coli was investigated in cultures synchronized by obtaining the smallest cells in a population after sucrose gradient centrifugation. Specific activity of ribonucleotide reductase and DNA initiation were found to increase in parallel, periodically as a function of the cell cycle. The expression of nrd was also determin...

M). The cultures were incubated at 37° for 40 mm (“Pretreatment―), whereupon the bacteria were washed and resuspended in fresh Medium HA. Portions from each culture were distributed into flasks containing premeasured amounts of the various drugs (“Additions―). After receiving cytidine-3H (2 @ig/ml; 0.13 i@Ci/ml),the cultures were incubated with aeration at 37°for 20 mm and quadr.uplic...
