Abstract

Pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme (PFL-AE) is a representative member of an emerging family of enzymes that utilize iron-sulfur clusters and S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to initiate radical catalysis. Although these enzymes have diverse functions, evidence is emerging that they operate by a common mechanism in which a [4Fe-4S](+) interacts with AdoMet to generate a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical intermediate. To date, however, it has been unclear whether the iron-sulfur cluster is a simple electron-transfer center or whether it participates directly in the radical generation chemistry. Here we utilize electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and pulsed 35 GHz electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy to address this question. EPR spectroscopy reveals a dramatic effect of AdoMet on the EPR spectrum of the [4Fe-4S](+) of PFL-AE, changing it from rhombic (g = 2.02, 1.94, 1.88) to nearly axial (g = 2.01, 1.88, 1.87). (2)H and (13)C ENDOR spectroscopy was performed on [4Fe-4S](+)-PFL-AE (S = (1)/(2)) in the presence of AdoMet labeled at the methyl position with either (2)H or (13)C (denoted [1+/AdoMet]). The observation of a substantial (2)H coupling of approximately 1 MHz ( approximately 6-7 MHz for (1)H), as well as hy...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
