Studies of the interactions of dienelactone hydrolase (DLH) and its mutants with both E and Z dienelactone substrates show that the enzyme exhibits two different conformational responses specific for hydrolysis of each of its substrate isomers. DLH facilitates hydrolysis of the Z dienelactone through an unusual charge-relay system that is initiated by interaction between the substrate carboxylate and an enzyme arginine residue that activates an otherwise non-nucleophilic cysteine. The E dienelactone does not display this substrate-arginine binding interaction, but instead induces an alternate conformational response that promotes hydrolysis. Furthermore, the substitution of cysteine 123 for serine (C123S) in DLH, instead of inactivating the enzyme as is typical for this active-site mutation, changes the catalysis from substrate hydrolysis to isomerisation. This is due to the deacylation of the acyl-enzyme intermediates being much slower, thereby increasing their lifetimes and allowing for their interconversion through isomerisation, followed by relactonisation.

Dienelactone hydrolase (DLH) is one of numerous hydrolytic enzymes with an α/β-hydrolase fold, which catalyze the hydrolysis of dienelactone to maleylacetate. The DLHs share remarkably similar tertiary structures and a conserved arrangement of catalytic residues. This study presents the crystal structure and comprehensive functional characterization of a novel thermostable DLH from the bacterium Hydrogenobacter thermophilus (HtDLH).

The overwhelming use of PET plastic in various day-to-day activities led to the voluminous increase in PET waste and growing environmental hazards. A plethora of methods have been used that are associated with secondary pollutants. Therefore, microbial degradation of PET provides a sustainable approach due to its versatile metabolic diversity and capacity.

Understanding non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides represents a pressing challenge as NTSR is widespread in many weeds. Using giant duckweed () as a model, we systematically investigated genetic and molecular mechanisms of diquat resistance, which can only be achieved via NTSR. Quantifying the diquat resistance of 138 genotypes, we revealed an 8.

Article Synopsis
- - Biofilms can resist traditional antibiotics, prompting the search for new antimicrobials from unique sources like aquatic microorganisms, leading to the analysis of microalgae-bacteria communities for potential antimicrobial enzymes.
- - A promising enzyme candidate called Dlh3 was found to inhibit biofilm development of the fish pathogen Edwardsiella anguillarum by up to 54.5% and showed positive effects on self-defense genes in response to its application.
- - Dlh3 demonstrates biotechnological potential for aquaculture because it effectively inhibits harmful biofilms without negatively affecting the health or growth of a relevant fish cell model (CHSE-214).

Aerobic glycolysis is critical for cancer progression and can be exploited in cancer therapy. Here, we report that the human carboxymethylenebutenolidase homolog (carboxymethylenebutenolidase-like [CMBL]) acts as a tumor suppressor by reprogramming glycolysis in colorectal cancer (CRC). The anti-cancer action of CMBL is mediated through its interactions with the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM25 and the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase-1 platelet type (PFKP).
