Mammalian molybdo-flavoenzymes, an expanding family of proteins: structure, genetics, regulation, function and pathophysiology.
The molybdo-flavoenzymes are structurally related proteins that require a molybdopterin cofactor and FAD for their catalytic activity. In mammals, four enzymes are known: xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase and two recently described mouse proteins known as aldehyde oxidase homologue 1 and aldehyde oxidase homologue 2. The present review article summarizes current knowledge on the structu...

Stone, 1986). i t is possible that enhancement of agoniststimulated DAG levels may lead to inappropriate activation of protein kinase C. The consequences of this are difficult to gauge at present since protein kinase C can apparently subserve positive or negative roles in cell activation (Drummond & Maclntyre. 1985). but since protein kinase C activation can lead to receptor down-regulation, i ...
متن کاملPopulation genetics of an expanding family of mobile genetic elements.
A model of an expanding family of dispersed repetitive DNA was studied. Based on the previous result of the model of duplicative transposition, an approximate solution to give allelism and identify coefficients as functions of time was obtained, and theoretical predictions were verified by Monte Carlo experiments. The results show that, even if the copy number per genome increases very rapidly,...
متن کاملAvian and canine aldehyde oxidases. Novel insights into the biology and evolution of molybdo-flavoenzymes.
Aldehyde oxidases are molybdo-flavoenzymes structurally related to xanthine oxidoreductase. They catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes or N-heterocycles of physiological, pharmacological, and toxicological relevance. Rodents are characterized by four aldehyde oxidases as follows: AOX1 and aldehyde oxidase homologs 1-3 (AOH1, AOH2, and AOH3). Humans synthesize a single functional aldehyde oxidase,...
متن کاملThe Effect of Hydrophobicity and Hydrophilicity of Gold Nanoparticle on Proteins Structure and Function
The surface parameter of nanoparticles such as hydrophobicity and a hydrophilicity on protein structure and function is very important. In this study, conformational changes of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the mercaptopurine: GNPs and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid: GNPs as a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic GNPs surface was investigated by various spectroscopic techniques, including: UV-Vis absorption, f...
