Dimeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DD) catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)-dependent oxidation of trans-dihydrodiols of aromatic hydrocarbons to their corresponding catechols. This is the first report of the crystal structure of the dimeric enzyme determined at 2.0 A resolution. The tertiary structure is formed by a classical dinucleotide binding fold comprising of two betaalphabetaalphabeta motifs at the N-terminus and an eight-stranded, predominantly antiparallel beta-sheet at the C-terminus. The active-site of DD, occupied either by a glycerol molecule or the inhibitor 4-hydroxyacetophenone, is located in the C-terminal domain of the protein and maintained by a number of residues including Lys97, Trp125, Phe154, Leu158, Val161, Asp176, Leu177, Tyr180, Trp254, Phe279, and Asp280. The dimer interface is stabilized by a large number of intermolecular contacts mediated by the beta-sheet of each monomer, which includes an intricate hydrogen bonding network maintained in principal by Arg148 and Arg202. Site-directed mutagenesis has demonstrated that the intact dimer is not essential for catalytic activity. The similarity between the quaternary structures of mammalian DD and glucose-fructose oxidoreductase isolated from the prokaryotic organism Zymomonas mobilis suggests that both enzymes are members of a unique family of oligomeric proteins and may share a common ancestral gene.

Monooxygenase- and Dioxygenase-Catalyzed Oxidative Dearomatization of Thiophenes by Sulfoxidation, -Dihydroxylation and Epoxidation.

Article Synopsis
- Enzymatic oxidations of thiophenes play a crucial role in biodesulfurization processes and the metabolism of thiophene-containing pharmaceuticals.
- Reactive metabolites formed during oxidative reactions, such as sulfoxides and epoxides, can be unstable, which poses challenges in studying their properties and behaviors.
- The success of predicting the structures and configurations of chiral metabolites from thiophene oxidation relies on the specific substrate, the selected type of oxygenase, and results from molecular docking studies.
Dimeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenase is an efficient primate 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose reductase.

1,5-Anhydro-D-fructose (AF), a metabolite of the anhydrofructose pathway of glycogen metabolism, has recently been shown to react with intracellular proteins and form advanced glycation end-products. The reactive AF is metabolized to non-reactive 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol by AF reductase in animal tissues and human cells. Pig and mouse AF reductases were characterized, but primate AF reductase remains unknown.

Background: Galleria mellonella larvae were infected with conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus and the cellular and humoral immune responses of larvae to the pathogen were characterized as invasive aspergillosis developed.
Results: At 2 h post-infection there was an increase in hemocyte density to 7.43 ± 0.
Effects of Black Raspberry Extract and Berry Compounds on Repair of DNA Damage and Mutagenesis Induced by Chemical and Physical Agents in Human Oral Leukoplakia and Rat Oral Fibroblasts.

Black raspberries (BRB) have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in a number of systems, with most studies focusing on progression. Previously we reported that an anthocyanin-enriched black raspberry extract (BE) enhanced repair of dibenzo-[a,l]-pyrene dihydrodiol (DBP-diol)-induced DNA adducts and inhibited DBP-diol and DBP-diolepoxide (DBPDE)-induced mutagenesis in a lacI rat oral fibroblast cell line, suggesting a role for BRB in the inhibition of initiation of carcinogenesis. Here we extend this work to protection by BE against DNA adduct formation induced by dibenzo-[a,l]-pyrene (DBP) in a human oral leukoplakia cell line (MSK) and to a second carcinogen, UV light.

Rad9, an evolutionarily conserved checkpoint gene with multiple functions for preserving genomic integrity, has been shown to play important roles in homologous recombination repair, base excision repair and mismatch repair. However, whether Rad9 has an impact on nucleotide excision repair remains unknown. Here we demonstrated that Rad9 was involved in nucleotide excision repair and loss of Rad9 led to defective removal of the UV-derived photoproduct 6-4PP (6,4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone) and the BPDE (anti-benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide)-DNA adducts in mammalian cells.
