Substrate-assisted O2 activation in a cofactor-independent dioxygenase.
In contrast to the majority of O2-activating enzymes, which depend on an organic cofactor or a metal ion for catalysis, a particular group of structurally unrelated oxygenases is functional without any cofactor. In this study, we characterized the mechanism of O2 activation in the reaction pathway of a cofactor-independent dioxygenase with an α/β-hydrolase fold, which catalyzes the oxygenolytic...
متن کاملInduction of HIF-2alpha is dependent on mitochondrial O2 consumption in an O2-sensitive adrenomedullary chromaffin cell line.
During low O2 (hypoxia), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-alpha is stabilized and translocates to the nucleus, where it regulates genes critical for survival and/or adaptation in low O2. While it appears that mitochondria play a critical role in HIF induction, controversy surrounds the underlying mechanism(s). To address this, we monitored HIF-2alpha expression and oxygen consumption in an O2-sen...
متن کاملAn Exact Solution for Classic Coupled Thermoporoelasticity in Cylindrical Coordinates
In this paper the classic coupled thermoporoelasticity model of hollow and solid cylinders under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the classic coupled equations is presented. The thermal and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source, and the injected volume rate per unit volume of a distr...
متن کاملAn O2-Sensitive Glomus Cell-Stem Cell Synapse Induces Carotid Body Growth in Chronic Hypoxia
Neural stem cells (NSCs) exist in germinal centers of the adult brain and in the carotid body (CB), an oxygen-sensing organ that grows under chronic hypoxemia. How stem cell lineage differentiation into mature glomus cells is coupled with changes in physiological demand is poorly understood. Here, we show that hypoxia does not affect CB NSC proliferation directly. Rather, mature glomus cells ex...
متن کاملRefining the reaction mechanism of O2 towards its co-substrate in cofactor-free dioxygenases
Cofactor-less oxygenases perform challenging catalytic reactions between singlet co-substrates and triplet oxygen, in spite of apparently violating the spin-conservation rule. In 1-H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinaldine-2,4-dioxygenase, the active site has been suggested by quantum chemical computations to fine tune triplet oxygen reactivity, allowing it to interact rapidly with its singlet substrate with...
