Redox Properties of Flavin in BLUF and LOV Photoreceptor Proteins from Hybrid QM/MM Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Flavins play an important role in many oxidation and reduction processes in biological systems. For example, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are common cofactors found in enzymatic proteins that use the special redox prope ...

Implementation of a flavin biosynthesis operon improves extracellular electron transfer in bioengineered Escherichia coli

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Mohammed Mouhib

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are promising for energy, sensing, environmental, and synthesis applications. Escherichia coli were previously bioengineered for application in BES by introduction of extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways. Inspired ...

Development of new strategies to produce and characterize PceC, a membrane-bound flavoprotein involved in organohalide respiration

Christof Holliger, Lorenzo Cimmino

Halogenated organic compounds (so-called organohalides) represent one of the major widespread groundwater pollutants. Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process in which chlorinated compound, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), is used as te ...

The membrane-bound C subunit of reductive dehalogenases: topology analysis and reconstitution of the FMN-binding domain of PceC

Julien Maillard, Romain Hamelin, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Géraldine Florence Buttet, Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is the energy metabolism of anaerobic bacteria able to use halogenated organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. While the terminal enzymes in OHR, so-called reductive dehalogenases, are well-characterized, the identi ...

RdhC, a family of membrane-bound flavoproteins involved in electron transfer in organohalide respiration ?

Julien Maillard, Romain Hamelin, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Géraldine Florence Buttet

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial energy metabolism making use of halogenated compounds – like tetrachloroethene (PCE), a major pollutant – as terminal electron acceptors. Three models of electron transport chain exist for OHR [1], however many ...

Cofactor sensing proteins for metabolic assays at point-of-care

Qiuliyang Yu

Miniaturized blood analysis promises a substantial improvement for the process of healthcare. However, most current blood analysis methods were developed in the context of centralized laboratories and there is a lack of robust detection technologies suitab ...

Structural Basis for Benzothiazinone-Mediated Killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Florence Pojer, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Elizabeth Fullam

The benzothiazinone BTZ043 is a tuberculosis drug candidate with nanomolar whole-cell activity. BTZ043 targets the DprE1 catalytic component of the essential enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose-2'-epimerase, thus blocking biosynthesis of arabin ...

Biological and structural characterization of the Mycobacterium smegmatis nitroreductase NfnB, and its role in benzothiazinone resistance

Stewart Cole, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Giulia Manina

Summary Tuberculosis is still a leading cause of death in developing countries, for which there is an urgent need for new pharmacological agents. The synthesis of the novel antimycobacterial drug class of benzothiazinones (BTZs) and the identification of t ...

Histone methyl transferases and demethylases; can they link metabolism and transcription?

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Heritable changes to the transcriptome that are independent to changes in the genome are defined as epigenetics. DNA methylation and posttranslational modifications of histones, such as acetylation/deacetylation and methylation/demethylation of lysine resi ...
