The Function of Two Radical-SAM Enzymes, HcgA and HcgG, in the Biosynthesis of the [Fe]-Hydrogenase Cofactor

Xile Hu, Huijie Pan, Yiwei Zheng

In the biosynthesis of the iron-guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, 6-carboxymethyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyridinol (1) is 3-methylated to form 2, then 4-guanylylated to form 3, and converted into the full cofactor. HcgA-G proteins catalyze the biosynthetic ...

Phototransformation kinetics of cyanobacterial toxins and secondary metabolites in surface waters

Sandro Marcotullio

Background Cyanobacteria and their toxins occur in high concentrations during the so-called bloom events in surface waters. To be able to assess the risks associated with cyanobacterial blooms, we need to understand the persistence and fate processes of th ...

Method Development towards Orthogonal Electrophile Delivery

Lingxi Wang

Redox signaling events mediated by reactive electrophilic species (RES) are key players in several cellular processes. However, the studies on RES have been challenging due to their high reactivity towards numerous nucleophilic groups present in the cells ...

Mild inborn errors of metabolism in commonly used inbred mouse strains

Johan Auwerx, Wei Zhang, Evan Graehl Williams

Inbred mouse strains are a cornerstone of translational research but paradoxically many strains carry mild inborn errors of metabolism. For example, alpha-aminoadipic acidemia and branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase deficiency are known in C57BL/6J mice. ...

Method for Identification of Threonine Isoforms in Peptides by Ultraviolet Photofragmentation of Cold Ions

Vladimir Kopysov, Aleksandr Pereverzev, Elizaveta Solovyeva

Identification of isomeric amino acid residues in peptides and proteins is challenging but often highly desired in proteomics. One of the practically important cases that require isomeric assignments is that associated with single-nucleotide polymorphism s ...

Methyltransferase-Directed Labeling of Biomolecules and its Applications

Jochem Deen

Methyltransferases (MTases) form a large family of enzymes that methylate a diverse set of targets, ranging from the three major biopolymers to small molecules. Most of these MTases use the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-Methionine (AdoMet) as a methyl source. In r ...
