The non-heme iron(II) dioxygenase family of enzymes contain a common 2-His-1-carboxylate iron-binding motif. These enzymes catalyze a wide variety of oxidative reactions, such as the hydroxylation of aliphatic C-H bonds. Prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H) is an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent iron(II) dioxygenase that catalyzes the post-translational hydroxylation of proline residues in protocollagen str...
BACKGROUND Stimulating the glycine(B) binding site on the N-methyl-d-aspartate ionotropic glutamate receptor (NMDAR) has been proposed as a novel mechanism for modulating behavioral effects of ethanol (EtOH) that are mediated via the NMDAR, including acute intoxication. Here, we pharmacologically interrogated this hypothesis in mice. METHODS Effects of systemic injection of the glycine(B) a...
The effects of the antihelmintic, ivermectin, were investigated in recombinantly expressed human alpha(1) homomeric and alpha(1)beta heteromeric glycine receptors (GlyRs). At low (0.03 microm) concentrations ivermectin potentiated the response to sub-saturating glycine concentrations, and at higher (> or =0.03 microm) concentrations it irreversibly activated both alpha(1) homomeric and alpha(1)...
The actions of glycine on the NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic responses of ganglion cells were studied in the tiger salamander retinal slice. Ganglion cell excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were elicited either by exciting bipolar cells with potassium puffs or by light stimulation, and were measured using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. Increasing bath glycine concentrations to 10 mic...
Accumulation of (14)C-labeled glycine and microelectrode techniques were employed to study glycine transport and the effect of glycine on the membrane potential (Deltapsi) in Lemna gibba G1. Evidence is presented that two processes, a passive uptake by diffusion and a carrier-mediated uptake, are involved in glycine transport into Lemna cells. At the onset of active glycine uptake the component...
Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) constitute an important, yet relatively poorly understood, family of heme-containing enzymes. Here, we report extensive structural and biochemical studies of the Xanthomonas campestris TDO and a related protein SO4414 from Shewanella oneidensis, including the structure at 1.6-A resolution of the catalytically active, ferrous...
Glycosylasparaginase uses an autoproteolytic processing mechanism, through an N-O acyl shift, to generate a mature/active enzyme from a single-chain precursor. Structures of glycosylasparaginase precursors in complex with a glycine inhibitor have revealed the backbone in the immediate vicinity of the scissile peptide bond to be in a distorted trans conformation, which is believed to be the driv...
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), found in strictly anaerobic methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea, catalyzes the reversible production and consumption of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The α subunit of MCR (McrA) contains several unusual post-translational modifications, including a rare thioamidation of glycine. Based on the presumed function of homologous genes involved in the biosyn...
