Scytalidium thermophilum produces a catalase with phenol oxidase activity (CATPO) that catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water and also oxidizes various phenolic compounds. A codon-optimized catpo gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The crystal structures of native and recombinant S. thermophilum CATPO and two variants, H82N and V123F, were determined at resolutions of 2.7, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.9 angstrom, respectively. The structure of CATPO reveals a homotetramer with 698 residues per subunit and with strong structural similarity to Penicillium vitale catalase. The haem component is cis-hydroxychlorin -spirolactone, which is rotated 180 degrees with respect to small-subunit catalases. The haem-binding pocket contains two highly conserved water molecules on the distal side. The H82N mutation resulted in conversion of the native d-type haem to a b-type haem. Kinetic studies of the H82N and V123F mutants indicate that both activities are likely to be associated with the haem centre and suggest that the secondary oxidase activity may be a general feature of catalases in the absence of hydrogen peroxide.

Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of Cytotoxic Activities of Novel Aziridinyl Phosphonic Acid Derivatives
Khan, Rehan; Ulusan, Sinem; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Doğan, Özdemir (Wiley, 2019-11-01)
New aziridine 2-phosphonic acids were prepared by monohydrolysis of the aziridine 2-phosphonates that were obtained by the modified Gabriel-Cromwell reaction of vinyl phosphonate or alpha-tosylvinyl phosphonate with a primary amine or a chiral amine. The cellular cytotoxicity of these compounds was tested against the HCT-116 colorectal cancer cell lines and the CCD-18Co normal colon fibroblast lines using the MTT assay. Three of the synthesized phosphonic acid derivatives 2e (ethyl hydrogen {(2S)-1-[(1S)-1-...
DynaDom: structure-based prediction of T cell receptor inter-domain and T cell receptor-peptide-MHC (class I) association angles
Hoffmann, Thomas; Marıon, Antoıne; Antes, Iris (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02)
Background: T cell receptor (TCR) molecules are involved in the adaptive immune response as they distinguish between self- and foreign-peptides, presented in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). Former studies showed that the association angles of the TCR variable domains (Va/V beta) can differ significantly and change upon binding to the pMHC complex. These changes can be described as a rotation of the domains around a general Center of Rotation, characterized by the interaction of two highly...
Characterization and modulation by drugs of sheep liver microsomal flavin monooxygenase activity
Demirdöǧen, Birsen Can; Adalı, Orhan (Wiley, 2005-07-01)
The flavin monooxygenases (FMO) catalyse the NADPH and oxygen-dependent oxidation of a wide range of nucleophilic nitrogen-, sulfur-, phosphorus-, and selenium heteroatom-containing chemicals, drugs, and agricultural agents. In the present study, sheep liver microsomal FMO activity was determined by measuring the S-oxidation rate of methimazole and the average specific activity obtained from different microsomal preparations was found to be 3.8 +/- 1.5 nmol methimazole oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) microsomal pro...
Cloning, characterization and heterologous expression of the aspartokinase and aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes of cephamycin C-producer Streptomyces clavuligerus
Tunca, S; Yilmaz, EI; Piret, J; Liras, P; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2004-09-01)
Carbon flow through the lysine branch of the aspartate biosynthetic pathway is a rate-limiting step in the formation of cephamycin C, a broad spectrum P-lactam antibiotic produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. In this study, genes which encode the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of the aspartate pathway, ask (aspartokinase) and asd (aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase), in S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 were cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequencing and codon preference analysis revealed three complete...
PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 2 FORMS OF SOLUBLE NADH CYTOCHROME-B5 REDUCTASES FROM HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES
ARINC, E; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; SAPLAKOGLU, U; Adalı, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
1. Two forms of soluble NADH cytochrome b5 reductase were purified from human erythrocytes. Two distinct fractions both having the NADH cytochrome b5 reductase activity eluted from the second DEAE-cellulose column were further purified by ultrafiltration and 5'-ADP-agarose affinity chromatography.
