Understanding the metabolism of tetrachloroethene-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus

Tetra- and trichloroethene (PCE, TCE) are organohalides polluting the environment as a result of inappropriate use, storage, and disposal by various industries. Anthropogenic pollution by organohalides is a major source of concern because of their undesira ...

Tetrahydrobiopterin Biosynthesis as a Potential Target of the Kynurenine Pathway Metabolite Xanthurenic Acid

Kai Johnsson, Rudolf Hovius, Hirohito Haruki, Miriam Grønlund Pedersen

Tryptophan metabolites in the kynurenine pathway are up-regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines or glucocorticoids, and are linked to anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities. In addition, they are up-regulated in pathologies such as cancer, auto ...

Proteome analysis of the response of Dehalobacter restrictus to cobalamin starvation

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli, Hauke Smidt

Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 is an obligate organohalide respiring microorganism known to solely use tetra- or trichloroethene as electron acceptors with H2 as electron donor. The catalytic enzyme, PceA, contains a corrinoid as cofactor, a trait ...

Vitamin D and energy homeostasis-of mice and men

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

The vitamin D endocrine system has many extraskeletal targets, including adipose tissue. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3, the active form of vitamin D, not only increases adipogenesis and the expression of typical adipocyte genes but also decreases the expressio ...

A Bayesian MCMC Approach to Assess the Complete Distribution of Fitness Effects of New Mutations: Uncovering the Potential for Adaptive Walks in Challenging Environments

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank

The role of adaptation in the evolutionary process has been contentious for decades. At the heart of the century-old debate between neutralists and selectionists lies the distribution of fitness effects (DFE)that is, the selective effect of all mutations. ...

Investigating the acoustic release of doxorubicin from targeted micelles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The main problem associated with the administration of anti-cancer medication is that the drug is delivered throughout the body causing undesirable side effects. Therefore, it is important to synthesize drug carriers capable of minimizing the adverse side ...

A vitamin B-12 transporter in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

John McKinney

Vitamin B-12-depende enzymes function in core biochemical pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an obligate pathogen whose metabolism in vivo is poorly understood. Although M. tuberculosis can access vitamin B-12 in vitro, it is uncertain whether the org ...

TGR5 Activation Inhibits Atherosclerosis by Reducing Macrophage Inflammation and Lipid Loading

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 has been identified as an important component of the bile acid signaling network, and its activation has been linked to enhanced energy expenditure and improved glycemic control. Here, we demonstrate that activation of T ...

Simulating the fine and coarse inorganic particulate matter concentrations in a polluted megacity

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

A three dimensional chemical transport model (PMCAMx) is applied to the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) in order to simulate the chemical composition and mass of the major PM1 (fine) and PM1-10 (coarse) inorganic components and determine the effect of ...

B12-BIOSYNTHESIS IN THE TETRACHLOROETHENE-RESPIRING OBLIGATE ANAEROBE DESULFITOBACTERIUM

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aurélie Duret

Tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dehalogenases are the key catalysts in the respiratory chain of dehalorespiring microorganisms, where they act as the terminal electron-accepting enzymes in the process. On protein level, reductive dehalogenases have been ...
