Inactivation of brassinosteroid biological activity by a salicylate-inducible steroid sulfotransferase from Brassica napus.
Recent discoveries from brassinosteroid-deficient mutants led to the recognition that plants, like animals, use steroids to regulate their growth and development. We describe the characterization of one member of a Brassica napus sulfotransferase gene family coding for an enzyme that catalyzes the O-sulfonation of brassinosteroids and of mammalian estrogenic steroids. The enzyme is specific for...
متن کاملQuantification of salicylate in serum by use of salicylate hydroxylase.
In this enzymatic method for salicylate in serum, Pseudomonas salicylate hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.1) is used. This stable enzyme catalyzes the stoichiometric, unidirectional conversion of salicylate and NAD(P)H to catechol and NAD(P)+ in the presence of molecular oxygen. The concentration of salicylate in a clinical sample is determined by measuring the delta A at 340 nm as compared with a stand...
متن کاملSurprising cofactors in metalloenzymes.
Transition metal complexes are located at the active sites of a number of enzymes involved in intriguing biochemical reactions. These complexes can exhibit a wide variety of chemical reactivity due to the ease at which transition metals can adopt different coordination environments and oxidation states. Crystallography has been a powerful technique for examining the structure and conformational...
متن کاملDesigning Hydrolytic Zinc Metalloenzymes
Zinc is an essential element required for the function of more than 300 enzymes spanning all classes. Despite years of dedicated study, questions regarding the connections between primary and secondary metal ligands and protein structure and function remain unanswered, despite numerous mechanistic, structural, biochemical, and synthetic model studies. Protein design is a powerful strategy for r...
متن کاملRational design of nascent metalloenzymes.
Understanding the early genesis of new enzymatic functions is one of the challenges in protein design, mechanistic enzymology, and molecular evolution. We have experimentally mimicked starting points in this process by introducing primitive iron and oxygen binding sites at various locations in thioredoxin, a small protein lacking metal centers, by using computational design. These rudimentary a...
