Rieske business: structure-function of Rieske non-heme oxygenases.
Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases (RO) catalyze stereo- and regiospecific reactions. Recently, an explosion of structural information on this class of enzymes has occurred in the literature. ROs are two/three component systems: a reductase component that obtains electrons from NAD(P)H, often a Rieske ferredoxin component that shuttles the electrons and an oxygenase component that performs catalys...
متن کاملCaffeine junkie: an unprecedented glutathione S-transferase-dependent oxygenase required for caffeine degradation by Pseudomonas putida CBB5.
Caffeine and other N-methylated xanthines are natural products found in many foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it is not surprising that bacteria have evolved to live on caffeine as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. The caffeine degradation pathway of Pseudomonas putida CBB5 utilizes an unprecedented glutathione-S-transferase-dependent Rieske oxygenase for demethylation of 7-me...
متن کاملA three-component dicamba O-demethylase from Pseudomonas maltophilia, strain DI-6: gene isolation, characterization, and heterologous expression.
Dicamba O-demethylase is a multicomponent enzyme from Pseudomonas maltophilia, strain DI-6, that catalyzes the conversion of the widely used herbicide dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) to DCSA (3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid). We recently described the biochemical characteristics of the three components of this enzyme (i.e. reductase(DIC), ferredoxin(DIC), and oxygenase(DIC)) and classif...
متن کاملHeme Oxygenase-2 Gene Mutations and Blood Bilirubin Level in Iranian Patients with Premature Atherosclerosis
Heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2) is a critical antioxidative stress enzyme found in endothelial cells and adventitialnerves. This enzyme in conjunction with other HOs (1 and 3) metabolize heme molecule into ferrous iron,carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin which is further converted to bilirubin. Both biliverdin and bilirubin arepotent antioxidants, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis...
متن کاملRegio and Stereodivergent Antibiotic Oxidative Carbocyclizations Catalyzed by Rieske Oxygenase-Like Enzymes
Oxidative cyclizations, exemplified by the biosynthetic assembly of the penicillin nucleus from a tripeptide precursor, are arguably the most synthetically powerful implementation of C-H activation reactions in nature. Here, we show that Rieske oxygenase-like enzymes mediate regio- and stereodivergent oxidative cyclizations to form 10- and 12-membered carbocyclic rings in the key steps of the b...
