Characterization of xenobiotic reductase A (XenA): study of active site residues, substrate spectrum and stability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xenobiotic reductase A (XenA) has broad catalytic activity and reduces various α,β-unsaturated and nitro compounds with moderate to excellent stereoselectivity. Single mutants C25G and C25V are able to reduce nitrobenzene, a non-active substrate for the wild type, to produce aniline. Total turnover is dominated by chemical rather than thermal instability.

Cysteine as a modulator residue in the active site of xenobiotic reductase A: a structural, thermodynamic and kinetic study.
Xenobiotic reductase A (XenA) from Pseudomonas putida 86 catalyzes the NADH/NADPH-dependent reduction of various substrates, including 2-cyclohexenone and 8-hydroxycoumarin. XenA is a member of the old yellow enzyme (OYE) family of flavoproteins and is structurally and functionally similar to other bacterial members of this enzyme class. A characteristic feature of XenA is the presence of a cys...
متن کاملThe Human Thioredoxin System: Modifications and Clinical Applications
The thioredoxin system, comprising thioredoxin (Trx), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and NADPH, is one of the major cellular antioxidant systems, implicated in a large and growing number of biological functions. Trx acts as an oxidoreductase via a highly conserved dithiol/disulfide motif located in the active site ( Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro- Cys-Lys-). Different factors are involved in the regulation of T...

Enzymes catalyze many biological reactions. The rates of chemical reaction in the presence ofenzymes are, in some cases, accelerated more than 10 orders of magnitude relative to thecorresponding rates in solution.In this paper a comparison between optimized structures of two enzyme molecules in aspect ofenergy and dipole moment in different conditions including presence of metallic ion, without...
متن کاملReplacement of threonine-55 with glycine decreases the reduction rate of OsTrx20 by glutathione
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small ubiquitous oxidoreductase proteins with two redox-active Cys residues in a conserved active site (WCG/PPC) that regulate numerous target proteins via thiol/disulfide exchanges in the cells of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The isoforms OsTrx23 with a typical active site (WCGPC) and OsTrx20 with an atypical active site (WCTPC) are two Trx h- type isoforms in rice that ...
