Herein, we present the first, to our knowledge, computational investigation of the kinetic mechanism of 17β-HSD1, one of the thirteen 17β-HSDs belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR), a large superfamily of NAD (P) H-dependent enzymes.
-
This combination of abundant cytochromes with weak sequence conservation suggests they may not be specific terminal reductases, but rather may be important in their heme-bearing capacity, as sinks for electrons between the inner-membrane electron transport chain and the extracellular acceptor.
-
A difference in enzymes (reductases) is responsible for the different E and Z ratios
-
Escherichia coli required the presence of the natural reductases for full enzymatic activity.
-
Intriguingly, there are many differences in the amino acid sequences of the reductases isolated from the E or Z races.
-
However, an impairment of methionine sulfoxide reductases surveillance function, as on ageing, would allowed the accumulation of oxidized proteins, as the aberrantly folded PrP
-
Consequently an optimal function of methionine sulfoxide reductases would be required not only for repairing damaged proteins but also for engaging in a cycle of methionine oxidation and reduction that ultimately would results in the scavenging of reactive oxygen species.
