Biomimicry Enhances Sequential Reactions of Tethered Glycolytic Enzymes, TPI and GAPDHS
Maintaining activity of enzymes tethered to solid interfaces remains a major challenge in developing hybrid organic-inorganic devices. In nature, mammalian spermatozoa have overcome this design challenge by having glycolytic enzymes with specialized targeting domains that enable them to function while tethered to a cytoskeletal element. As a step toward designing a hybrid organic-inorganic ATP-...
متن کاملSequential Reactions Initiated by Oxidative Dearomatization. Biomimicry or Artifact?
Robert Robinson first introduced the concept of biomimetic synthesis in 1917 with a one-pot preparation of tropinone [1]. This remarkable transformation joins three reactants together capitalizing upon the reactive proclivities of polyketides. Because aromatic compounds themselves are the end point of polyketide biosynthetic sequences, which are followed by the action of a few specific tailorin...
متن کاملBroad Distribution of TPI-GAPDH Fusion Proteins among Eukaryotes: Evidence for Glycolytic Reactions in the Mitochondrion?
Glycolysis is a central metabolic pathway in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, the textbook view is that glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. However, fusion proteins comprised of two glycolytic enzymes, triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), were found in members of the stramenopiles (diatoms and oomycetes) and shown to possess amino-t...
متن کاملThe Respiratory and Glycolytic Enzymes
A number of workers have studied the carbohydrate metabolism of sea-urchin eggs and have expressed different opinions about the pathway of carbohydrate breakdown in these eggs. The choice has rested between the breakdown of hexose via the 'hexose monophosphate shunt' and a glycolytic mechanism like that in yeast and muscle, followed by oxidation via the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Rothschild (195...
متن کاملGlycolytic and respiratory enzymes of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
Although the dermatophytes are common fungal pathogens, very little is known concerning their metabolic systems. Biochemical studies with this group have been limited primarily to the nutritional requirements (Robbins et al., 1942; Schopfer and Blumer, 1943; Robbins and Ma, 1945; Georg, 1950; Benham, 1953; Silva, 1953; and Silva and Benham, 1954) and the demonstration of various extracellular e...
