Abstract

Reactive oxygen species production by mitochondrial enzymes plays a fundamental role both in cellular signaling and in the progression of dysfunctional states. However, sources of reactive oxygen species and the mechanisms by which enzymes produce these reactive species still remain elusive. We characterized the generation of reactive oxygen species by purified human electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF), a mitochondrial enzyme that has a central role in the metabolism of lipids, amino acids, and choline. The results showed that ETF produces significant amounts of both superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of its partner enzyme medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD). ETF-mediated production of reactive oxygen species is partially inhibited at high MCAD/ETF ratios, whereas it is enhanced at high ionic strength. Determination of the reduction potentials of ETF showed that thermodynamic properties of the FAD cofactor are changed upon formation of a complex between ETF and MCAD, supporting the notion that protein:protein interactions modulate the reactivity of the protein with dioxygen. Two pathogenic ETF variants were also studied to determine which factors modulate the reactivity toward molecular oxygen and promote ...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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
