The various types of redox partner interactions employed in cytochrome P450 systems are described. The similarities and differences between the redox components in the major categories of P450 systems present in bacteria, mitochondria and microsomes are discussed in the light of the accumulated evidence from X-ray crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic determinations. Molecular modeling of the interactions between the redox components in various P450 mono-oxygenase systems is proposed on the basis of structural and mutagenesis information, together with experimental findings based on chemical modification of key residues likely to be associated with complementary binding sites on certain typical P450 isoforms and their respective redox partners.

Reconstruction of a microbial TNT deep degradation system and its mechanism for reshaping microecology.

This study is the first to use synthetic biological omics technology to analyze the molecular mechanism underlying deep degradation of TNT, to construct an artificial transformation system to create engineered Escherichia coli bacteria, and to use Bacillus subtilis as an expression host to explore the mechanism driving the reshaping of the deep degradation platform on microecology. Nitroreductase family protein, 2-oxoacid:acceptor oxidoreductase, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, monooxygenase, ring-cleaving dioxygenase, and RraA family protein significantly participated in the reduction-hydroxylation-ring opening cleavage of TNT, achieving deep transformation of TNT to produce pyruvic acid and other products that entered the cellular metabolic cycle. The key toxic metabolic pathways of TNT, 2,4-diamino-6-nitrotoluene, 2,4,6-triaminotoluene, and 2,4,6-trihydroxytoluene are pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis.

In our research, we constructed models of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-exposed acute kidney injury (AKI) and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-stimulated renal fibrosis (RF) in C57BL/6 mice and HK-2 cells. We firstly authenticated that oral pinocembrin (PIN) administration obviously mitigated tissue damage and renal dysfunction induced by I/R injury, and PIN attenuated UUO-caused RF, as confirmed by the reduced expression of fibrotic markers as well as hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), Sirius red, immunohistochemistry, and Masson staining. Meanwhile, the beneficial role of PIN was again demonstrated in HK-2 cells with hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) or transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) treatment.

Inducer-free expression systems are promising tools for biorefinery because they can reduce the reliance on inducers, reducing production costs and simplifying processes. Owing to their broad range of substrate structures and catalytic reactions, cytochrome P450s are promising biocatalysts to produce value-added compounds. However, unsuitable levels of cytochrome P450 expression could result in cell stress, affecting the efficiency of the biocatalyst.

Background: The inheritance of the short allele, encoding the serotonin transporter (SERT) in humans, increases susceptibility to neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders, with aging and female sex further exacerbating these conditions. Both central and peripheral mechanisms of the compromised serotonin (5-HT) system play crucial roles in this context. Previous studies on SERT-deficient (Sert) mice, which model human SERT deficiency, have demonstrated emotional and metabolic disturbances, exacerbated by exposure to a high-fat Western diet (WD).

This study aims to identify the function of the () gene in the kidneys of . CYP2E1 is a significant metabolic enzyme involved in the metabolism of various endogenous and exogenous compounds and is associated with the occurrence and progression of multiple diseases. Given 's ability to survive in the extremely arid , we hypothesize that CYP2E1 in its kidneys plays a crucial role in adaptability.
