Microbacterium luteolum YK-1 has pyridoxine degradation pathway I. We have cloned the structural gene for the second step enzyme, pyridoxal 4-dehydrogenase. The gene consists of 1,026-bp nucleotides and encodes 342 amino acids. The enzyme was overexpressed under cold shock conditions
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has posed challenges to the clinician due to variable patients' responses and late diagnosis. With the advance in metabolomics, early detection and personalised treatment are possible. Metabolomic profile of 21 ALL patients treated with 6-mercaptopurine and

The effects of increased intake of pyridoxine hydrochloride on plasma vitamin B6 metabolism within therapeutic limits (up to 800 mg/day) were investigated. Maximum plasma concentrations of pyridoxal phosphate were attained at relatively low intakes of pyridoxine hydrochloride. Two metabolism thought

4-Pyridoxolactone and 5-pyridoxolactone, formed by dehydrogenation of pyridoxal or isopyridoxal during the bacterial degradation of vitamin B6 by Pseudomonas MA-1 and Arthrobacter Cr-7, respectively, are hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids by distinct inducible lactonases which were purified to homogeneity. 4-Pyridoxolactonase

A determination method for individual natural vitamin B(6) compounds was developed. The vitamin B(6) compounds were specifically converted into 4-pyridoxolactone (PAL), a highly fluorescent compound, through a combination of enzymatic reactions and HCl-hydrolysis. PAL was then determined by HPLC. Pyridoxal
