Identification and Characterization of the First Ovothiol Biosynthetic Enzyme
摘要:
Ovothiols are histidine-derived thiols that were first isolated from marine invertebrates. We have identified a 5-histidylcysteine sulfoxide synthase (OvoA) as the first ovothiol biosynthetic enzyme and characterized OvoAs from Erwinia tasmaniensis and Trypanosoma cruzi. Homologous enzymes are encoded in more than 80 genomes ranging from proteobacteria to animalia.

This document relates to methods and materials for assessing and/or treating obese mammals (e.g., obese humans). For example, methods and materials for using one or more interventions (e.g., one or more pharmacological interventions) to treat obesity and/or obesity-related comorbidities in a mammal (e.g., a human) identified as being likely to respond to a particular intervention (e.g., a pharmacological intervention) are provided.
Compositions and methods are disclosed that relate to aminoglycoside-linker-peptide (P-L-A) conjugates having unexpectedly advantageous dual-function bactericidal properties. Encompassed compounds are shown to be capable of energy independent bacterial plasma membrane disruption and to exhibit potent toxicity to bacteria including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These and related embodiments will find uses for treating bacterial infections including overcoming antibiotic resistance.
