The soluble catalytic domain of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase was radiolabeled with [14C]N-ethylmaleimide. Reaction for a limited time resulted in incorporation of 0.41 eq of N-ethylmaleimide and loss of 36% of the enzyme activity. Chromatography on a 5'-ADP affinity column separated the reductase which was modified with N-ethylmaleimide from the unreacted enzyme; the isolated derivative constituted 37% of the total material, was completely inactivated, and contained 1.00 eq of N-ethylmaleimide. Cyanogen bromide cleavage of the derivative demonstrated that radioactivity was limited to a single peptide which contained both Cys-283 and Cys-297. Tryptic hydrolysis of this cyanogen bromide peptide showed that the radioactivity was associated with Cys-283. Automated sequenator analysis confirmed that Cys-283 was the radiolabeled residue. These data demonstrate unambiguously that Cys-283 provides the essential thiol group of cytochrome b5 reductase.

Enzymatically formed side-chain oxysterols function as signaling molecules regulating cholesterol homeostasis and act as intermediates in the biosynthesis of bile acids. In addition to these physiological functions, an imbalance in oxysterol homeostasis has been implicated in pathophysiology. Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) and its product 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC), also formed by autoxidation, are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

A biofuel cell is an electrochemical device using exoelectrogen or biocatalysts to transfer electrons from redox reactions to the electrodes. While wild-type microbes and natural enzymes are often employed as exoelectrogen and biocatalysts, genetically engineered or modified organisms have been developed to enhance exoelectrogen activity. Here, we demonstrated a redox-enzyme integrated microbial fuel cell (REI-MFC) design based on an exoelectrogen-enhancing strategy that reinforces the electrogenic activity of MR1 by displaying an extra redox enzyme on the cell surface.

Recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (RCM) is a hereditary autosomal disorder with an extremely low incidence rate. Here, we report a case of methemoglobinemia type I in a patient with congenital persistent cyanosis. The condition was attributed to a novel compound heterozygous mutation in CYB5R3, characterized by elevated methemoglobin levels (13.

Article Synopsis
- - Recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (RCM) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CYB5R3 gene, resulting in a deficiency of the NADH cytochrome b5 reductase enzyme; it can be classified into two types based on the extent of red blood cell impact.
- - A case study of a 5-year-old boy with cyanosis and low oxygen saturation revealed two specific mutations in the CYB5R3 gene that led to abnormal protein structures, contributing to his condition of RCM type I.
- - The findings indicate that the severity of methemoglobinemia, whether classified as type I or II, correlates with the nature of CYB5R3

NADH cytochrome b oxidoreductase (Ncb5or) is a cytosolic ferric reductase implicated in diabetes and neurological conditions. Ncb5or comprises cytochrome b (b ) and cytochrome b reductase (b R) domains separated by a CHORD-Sgt1 (CS) linker domain. Ncb5or redox activity depends on proper inter-domain interactions to mediate electron transfer from NADH or NADPH via FAD to heme.
