ThnY is a ferredoxin reductase-like iron-sulfur flavoprotein that has evolved to function as a regulator of tetralin biodegradation gene expression.
Previous genetic studies in Sphingomonas macrogolitabida strain TFA have established that expression of genes involved in tetralin biodegradation (thn genes) requires the function of the LysR type activator ThnR and also ThnY. Sequence comparison indicated that ThnY is homologous to bacterial oxygenase-coupled NAD(P)H-dependent ferredoxin reductases. However, ThnY showed substitutions in highly...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of biodegradation of tetralin by a Sphingomonas strain.
A strain designated TFA which very efficiently utilizes tetralin has been isolated from the Rhine river. The strain has been identified as Sphingomonas macrogoltabidus, based on 16S rDNA sequence similarity. Genetic analysis of tetralin biodegradation has been performed by insertion mutagenesis and by physical analysis and analysis of complementation between the mutants. The genes involved in t...
متن کاملAldehyde Dehydrogenase Is Regulated by β-Catenin/TCF and Promotes Radioresistance in Prostate Cancer Progenitor Cells.
Radiotherapy is a curative treatment option in prostate cancer. Nevertheless, patients with high-risk prostate cancer are prone to relapse. Identification of the predictive biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of radioresistance bears promise to improve cancer therapies. In this study, we show that aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity is indicative of radioresistant prostate progenitor cells w...
متن کاملMolecular and biochemical characterization of the tetralin degradation pathway in Rhodococcus sp. strain TFB
The tetralin biodegradation pathway in Rhodococcus sp. strain TFB, a Gram-positive bacterium resistant to genetic manipulation, was characterized using a proteomic approach. Relative protein expression in cell free extracts from tetralin- and glucose-grown cells was compared using the 2D-DIGE technique. Identification of proteins specifically expressed in tetralin-grown cells was used to charac...
متن کاملDrosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase: mechanism of aldehyde oxidation and dismutation.
Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) catalyses the oxidation of both alcohols and aldehydes. In the latter case, the oxidation is followed by a reduction of the aldehyde, i.e. a dismutation reaction. At high pH, dismutation is accompanied by a small release of NADH, which is not observed at neutral pH. Previously it has been emphasized that kinetic coefficients obtained by measuring the incre...
