Abstract:
... Crude extracts of Crithidia fasciculata catalyse the formation of 4‐mercapto‐l‐histidine, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of ovothiol A (N1‐methyl‐4‐mercaptohistidine), in the presence of histidine, cysteine, Fe2+ and pyridoxal phosphate. This activity was present in a 35–55% ammonium sulfate fraction that was shown to produce a transsulfuration intermediate in the absence of pyr ...

Abstract:
... Cystathionine β-synthase is a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent hemeprotein, which catalyzes the condensation of serine and homocysteine to give cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The association of heme with this enzyme in some organisms, including humans, is novel since this combination of cofactors has not been seen in any other protein to date. While the role of P ...

Subject:
biosynthesis; pyridoxal phosphate; sphingolipids; spectroscopy; enzymology; serine C-palmitoyltransferase
Abstract:
... Serine palmitoyltransferase, which is one of the α-oxamine synthase family enzymes, catalyzes the condensation reaction of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketodihydrosphingosine, the first and rate-determining step of the sphingolipid biosynthesis. As with other α-oxamine synthase family enzymes, the catalytic reaction is composed of multiple elementary steps, and the mechanism to control the ...
