Conformational analysis of the riboflavin-responsive ETF:QO-p.Pro456Leu variant associated with mild multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Publication date: Available online 19 February 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Tânia G. Lucas, Bárbara J. Henriques, Cláudio M. GomesAbstractMultiple-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an inborn disorder of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism caused by mutations in the genes encoding for human electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and its partner electron transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF:QO). Albeit a rare disease, extensive newborn screening programs contributed to a wider coverage of MADD genotypes. However, the impact of non-lethal mutations ...

Combinatorial degradomics: Precision tools to unveil proteolytic processes in biological systems
Publication date: Available online 20 February 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Simonas Savickas, Philipp Kastl, Ulrich auf dem KellerAbstractThe biological activity of a protein is regulated at many levels ranging from control of transcription and translation to post-translational modifications (PTM). Proteolytic processing is an irreversible PTM generating novel isoforms of a mature protein termed proteoforms. Proteoform dynamics is a major focus of current proteome research, since it has been associated with many pathological conditions. Mass-spectrometry (MS)-based pro...

Cone snail analogs of the pituitary hormones oxytocin/vasopressin and their carrier protein neurophysin. Proteomic and transcriptomic identification of conopressins and conophysins
Publication date: Available online 10 February 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Sanjeev Kumar, M. Vijayasarathy, M.A. Venkatesha, P. Sunita, P. BalaramAbstractTranscriptomic analysis of cone snail venom duct tissue has permitted the identification of diverse conopressin/conophysin precursor sequences from seven distinct conus species. Multiple precursor isoforms are present in C.monile, C.lividus and C.loroisii. Aqueous extracts of the venom duct tissue from C.monile yield a band, at ~ 15-20 kDa on SDS-PAGE. In-gel trypsin digestion, followed by mass spectrometry establi...

N-succinylamino acid racemases: Enzymatic properties and biotechnological applications
Publication date: Available online 23 January 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Sergio Martínez-Rodríguez, Pablo Soriano-Maldonado, Jose Antonio GaviraAbstractThe N-succinylamino acid racemase/o-succinylbenzoate synthase (NSAR/OSBS) subfamily from the enolase superfamily contains different enzymes showing promiscuous N-substituted-amino acid racemase (NxAR) activity. These enzymes were originally named as N-acylamino acid racemases because of their industrial application. Nonetheless, they are pivotal in several enzymatic cascades due to their versatility to catalyze a wi...

Kinetics aspects of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and ProteomicsAuthor(s): Esther S. Taxon, Lila P. Halbers, Stanley M. ParsonsAbstractTwo groups of metabolically related enzymes, the Group III family of Fe2+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) and the separate subfamily of nucleoside diphosphates linked to x (nudix) hydrolases that activate Group III ADHs are under-characterized. Here we report the steady-state initial-velocity forward direction (alcohol → aldehyde) reaction of a Group III ADH, namely gamma-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (GHBDH, UniProt: Q59104),...
