Differential oxidative modifications of myofibrillar protein (MP) by hydroxyl radicals generated in an enzymatic system with glucose oxidase (GluOx) in the presence of glucose/FeSO4 compared to a Fenton system (H2O2/FeSO4) were investigated. Firmer and more elastic MP gels were produced by the GluOx-oxidizing system than by the Fenton system at comparable H2O2 levels due to an altered radical reaction pathway. The study furthe

Abstract:
RNA modifications and processing events are important modulators of global gene expression. Genomic mutations in the RNA methylase NSun2 and the alternative splicing factor Srsf2 are linked to neurological disorders and cancer in humans, respectively. NSun2 methylates cytosine-5 in most tRNAs and, to a lesser extent, other ncRNAs and mRNAs. Srsf2 is a critical component of the spliceosome and interacts with abundant ncRNAs that are methylated by NSun2. However, how precisely these processes effect homeostasis is largely unexplored.

In the case of protein substrates, TGase causes an intra- and inter-molecular crosslinking of proteins by formation of an isopeptide bond involving the side chains of Gln and Lys residues. The acyl donor can be also a small amido-ligand mimicking the Gln residue, so that TGase allows

Abstract:
Abstract Transglutaminase (TGase) is a 331-residue monomeric microbial enzyme produced by recombinant methods, easily available from a commercial source and well characterized in structural terms. TGase catalyzes the reaction between the γ-amido group of a protein-bound Gln residue (–CONH2, the acceptor) and an amino group (–NH2, the donor) of an alkyl-amine. This enzymatic approach appears to be mild and specific for glutamine (Gln) and lysine (Lys) residues of a protein. Indeed, initial experiments have already established that TGase can be used for an effective modification of proteins.
