Mechanistic insights into type III restriction enzymes.
Type III restriction-modification (R-M) enzymes need to interact with two separate unmethylated DNA sequences in indirectly repeated, head-to-head orientations for efficient cleavage to occur at a defined location next to only one of the two sites. However, cleavage of sites that are not in head-to-head orientation have been observed to occur under certain reaction conditions in vitro. ATP hydr...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into editing-site specificity of ADARs.
Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) deaminate adenosines in dsRNA to produce inosines. ADARs are essential in mammals and are particularly important in the nervous system. Altered levels of adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing are observed in several diseases. The extent to which an adenosine is edited depends on sequence context. Human ADAR2 (hADAR2) has 5' and 3' neighbor preference...
متن کاملMechanistic Insights into Hsp104 Potentiation.
Potentiated variants of Hsp104, a protein disaggregase from yeast, can dissolve protein aggregates connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying Hsp104 potentiation remain incompletely defined. Here, we establish that 2-3 subunits of the Hsp104 hexamer must bear an A503V potentiating mutation to elicit enh...
متن کاملStructure of Putrescine Aminotransferase from Escherichia coli Provides Insights into the Substrate Specificity among Class III Aminotransferases
YgjG is a putrescine aminotransferase enzyme that transfers amino groups from compounds with terminal primary amines to compounds with an aldehyde group using pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor. Previous biochemical data show that the enzyme prefers primary diamines, such as putrescine, over ornithine as a substrate. To better understand the enzyme's substrate specificity, crystal struc...
متن کاملMechanistic insight into the substrate specificity of 1,2-β-oligoglucan phosphorylase from Lachnoclostridium phytofermentans
Glycoside phosphorylases catalyze the phosphorolysis of oligosaccharides into sugar phosphates. Recently, we found a novel phosphorylase acting on β-1,2-glucooligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization of 3 or more (1,2-β-oligoglucan phosphorylase, SOGP) in glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 94. Here, we characterized SOGP from Lachnoclostridium phytofermentans (LpSOGP) and determined its crys...
