Application

Myristoleic acid (C14:1) is a mono-unsaturated medium-chain fatty acid used as a model substrate for enzymes such as the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP102D1; the aromatic peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita and oleate hydratase from Lysinibacillus fusiformis.

A recombinant enzyme from Lysinibacillus fusiformis was expressed, purified, and identified as an oleate hydratase because the hydration activity of the enzyme was the highest for oleic acid (with a k (cat) of 850 min(-1) and a K (m) of 540 μM)

Several bacterial species have evolved specialized secretion systems to deliver bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. These effectors have the capacity to modulate host cell pathways in order to promote bacterial survival and replication. The spatial and temporal context in

Pyoverdine I (PVDI) is the major siderophore produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to import iron. Biosynthesis of this chelator involves non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and other enzymes. PvdQ is a periplasmic enzyme from the NTN hydrolase family and is involved in the

1. Myristoylated pseudosubstrate of PKCzeta (mPS) - a synthetic myristoylated peptide with a sequence (13 amino acids) mimicking the endogenous PKCzeta pseudosubstrate region -- is considered a selective cell-permeable inhibitor of PKCzeta. We present strong evidence that in endothelial cells

Among 33 cytochrome P450s (CYPs) of Streptomyces avermitilis, CYP102D1 encoded by the sav575 gene is naturally a unique and self-sufficient CYP. Since the native cyp102D1 gene could not be expressed well in Escherichia coli, its expression was attempted using codon-optimized
