Abstract

Methanobactin (mb) is a small copper-binding peptide produced by methanotrophic bacteria and is intimately involved in both their copper metabolism and their role in the global carbon cycle. The structure for methanobactin comprises seven amino acids plus two chromophoric residues that appear unique to methanobactin. In a previously published structure, both chromophoric residues contain a thiocarbonyl attached to a hydroxyimidazolate ring. In addition, one is attached to a pyrrolidine ring, while the other is attached to an isopropyl ester. A published X-ray determined structure for methanobactin shows these two chromophoric groups forming an N2S2 binding site for a single Cu(I) ion with a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In this report we show that NMR, mass spectrometry, and chemical data reveal a chemical structure that is significantly different than the previously published one. Specifically, the 1H and 13C NMR assignments are inconsistent with an N-terminal isopropyl ester and point instead to a 3-methylbutanoyl group. Our data also indicate that oxazolone rings instead of hydroxyimidazolate rings form the core of the two chromophoric residues. Because these rings are directly involved in the binding of Cu(I) and other me...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.
