Alkylglycerol Monooxygenase
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (E.C. 1.14.16.5), also called glyceryl ether monooxygenase, is a tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzyme. It is the only enzyme known to cleave the ether bond of alkylglycerols and lyso-alkylglycerol phospholipids, including lyso-platelet activating factor. Although it has been first described already in 1964, it was not possible so far to purify the protein. It took un...
متن کاملOxidative cyclization of prodigiosin by an alkylglycerol monooxygenase-like enzyme
Prodiginines, which are tripyrrole alkaloids displaying a wide array of bioactivities, occur as linear and cyclic congeners. Identification of an unclustered biosynthetic gene led to the discovery of the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the regiospecific C-H activation and cyclization of prodigiosin to cycloprodigiosin in Pseudoalteromonas rubra. This enzyme is related to alkylglycerol monooxy...
متن کاملStructure/function insights into Tn5 transposition.
Prokaryotic transposon 5 (Tn5) serves as a model system for studying the molecular mechanism of DNA transposition. Elucidation of the X-ray co-crystal structure of Tn5 transposase complexed with a DNA recognition end sequence provided the first three-dimensional picture of an intermediate in a transposition/retroviral integration pathway. The many Tn5 transposase-DNA co-crystal structures now a...
متن کاملNew insights into nucleolar structure and function
The nucleolus is a non-membrane-bound nuclear organelle found in all eukaryotes. It is the quintessential 'RNA-seeded' nuclear body, forming around specific chromosomal features called nucleolar organizing regions that contain arrays of ribosomal DNA. Assembly is triggered by activation of RNA polymerase I-mediated transcription and regulated in mammalian cells in a cell cycle-dependent manner....
متن کاملInsights into structure-activity relationships of somatostatin analogs containing mesitylalanine.
The non-natural amino acid mesitylalanine (2,4,6-trimethyl-L-phenylalanine; Msa) has an electron-richer and a more conformationally restricted side-chain than that of its natural phenylalanine counterpart. Taking these properties into account, we have synthesized ten somatostatin analogs containing Msa residues in different key positions to modify the intrinsic conformational flexibility of the...
