Metalloenzymes are attractive research targets in fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine. Given that metalloenzymes can manifest conservation of metal-coordination and ligand binding modes, the excavation and expansion of metalloenzyme-specific knowledge is of interest in bridging metalloenzyme-related fields. Building on our previous metalloenzyme-ligand association database, MeLAD, we have expanded the scope of metalloenzyme-specific knowledge and services, by forming a versatile platform, termed the Metalloenzyme Data Bank and Analysis (MeDBA). The MeDBA provides: (i) manual curation of metalloenzymes into different categories, that this M-I, M-II and M-III; (ii) comprehensive information on metalloenzyme activities, expression profiles, family and disease links; (iii) structural information on metalloenzymes, in particular metal binding modes; (iv) metalloenzyme substrates and bioactive molecules acting on metalloenzymes; (v) excavated metal-binding pharmacophores and (vi) analysis tools for structure/metal active site comparison and metalloenzyme profiling. The MeDBA is freely available at https://medba.ddtmlab.org.

Resynthesis of Damaged Fe-S Cluster Proteins Protects Against Oxidative Stress in the Absence of Mn-Superoxide Dismutase.

Article Synopsis
- Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) is vital for maintaining mitochondrial function, and its absence heightens sensitivity to oxidative stress and iron limitation.
- Deleting the Mn-SOD gene resulted in increased vulnerability to oxidative damage and made fungal spores more susceptible to destruction by human immune cells.
- Analysis revealed that this gene deletion notably altered the oxidative stress response, impacting the regulation of genes related to iron management and protein synthesis in response to stress.

Background: The relationship between tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels and disease progression is well-established. However, the impact of changes in the level of TNF hydrolase (A-disintegrin and metalloenzyme 17; ADAM17) in HIV patients remains to be fully elucidated.
Methods: Between March 1 and December 31, 2017, data were collected from 64 HIV-positive individuals in Wenzhou.
Mechanistic Insights Into Post-translational α-Keto-β-Amino Acid Formation by a Radical S-Adenosyl Methionine Peptide Splicease.

Radical S-adenosyl methionine enzymes catalyze a diverse repertoire of post-translational modifications in protein and peptide substrates. Among these, an exceptional and mechanistically obscure example is the installation of α-keto-β-amino acid residues by formal excision of a tyrosine-derived tyramine unit. The responsible spliceases are key maturases in a widespread family of natural products termed spliceotides that comprise potent protease inhibitors, with the installed β-residues being crucial for bioactivity.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO) is a highly reactive nitrogen species that can cause significant damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA. Various enzymes, including metalloenzymes, play crucial roles in reducing ONOO concentrations to protect cellular components. While the interaction of ONOO with heme proteins is well known, the reduction by Cu-containing proteins is less studied.

Tyrosinases (TYRs) are a family of copper-containing metalloenzymes that are present in all domains of life. TYRs catalyze the reactions that start the biosynthesis of melanin, the main pigment of the animal kingdom, and are also involved in the formation of the bright colors seen on the caps of mushrooms and in the petals of flowers. TYRs catalyze the -hydroxylation and oxidation of phenols and the oxidation of catechols to the respective -quinones.
