متن کاملMulti-Copper Oxidases and Human Iron Metabolism
Multi-copper oxidases (MCOs) are a small group of enzymes that oxidize their substrate with the concomitant reduction of dioxygen to two water molecules. Generally, multi-copper oxidases are promiscuous with regards to their reducing substrates and are capable of performing various functions in different species. To date, three multi-copper oxidases have been detected in humans--ceruloplasmin, ...
متن کاملStructural studies on copper-containing plant oxidases.
Introduction Ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO) is ;I blue multi-copper oxidase that catalyses the four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water with concomitant one-electron oxidation of tlie reducing organic substrate [ 1 1. Copper-dependent A A O is found only in higher plants 12 I. The enzyme from Cucurbitu pep0 medullosa (green zucchini) is ;I dimer of 14OOOO-M,. containing eight copper ions of th...
متن کاملProbing the Molecular Mechanisms in Copper Amine Oxidases by Generating Heterodimers
For some homodimeric copper amine oxidases (CuAO), there is suggestive evidence of differential activity at the two active sites implying potential cooperativity between the two monomers. To examine this phenomenon for the Arthrobacter globiformis CuAO (AGAO), we purified a heterodimeric form of the enzyme for comparison with the homodimer. The heterodimer comprises an active wild-type monomer ...
متن کاملSuppression from Afar: Striatal D2 Receptors Temper Inhibition in Cortex Turning down Inhibition from Afar
11 July 2011. Altering dopamine signaling in one region of the brain can have substantial repercussions elsewhere, according to a study published online on July 5, 2011, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The laboratories of Wen-Ju Gao at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Eric Kandel at Columbia University in New York joined forces to examine the synaptic...
