Hydrogen Sulfide as Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor Sulfhydrates Potassium Channels
Rationale: Nitric oxide, the classic endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), acts through cyclic GMP and calcium without notably affecting membrane potential. A major component of EDRF activity… Expand

Structures and mechanisms of Nudix hydrolases.
Nudix hydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphates linked to other moieties, X, and contain the sequence motif or Nudix box, GX(5)EX(7)REUXEEXGU. The mechanisms of Nudix hydrolases… Expand

The structure of a human p110alpha/p85alpha complex elucidates the effects of oncogenic PI3Kalpha mutations.
PIK3CA, one of the two most frequently mutated oncogenes in human tumors, codes for p110alpha, the catalytic subunit of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, isoform alpha (PI3Kalpha, p110alpha/p85).… Expand

New insights into copper monooxygenases and peptide amidation: structure, mechanism and function
Abstract. Many bioactive peptides must be amidated at their carboxy terminus to exhibit full activity. Surprisingly, the amides are not generated by a transamidation reaction. Instead, the hormones… Expand

Estimation of changes in side chain configurational entropy in binding and folding: General methods and application to helix formation
Theoretical estimations of changes in side chain configurational entropy are essential for understanding the different contributions to the overall thermodynamic behavior of important biological… Expand

A novel fucose recognition fold involved in innate immunity
Anguilla anguilla agglutinin (AAA), a fucolectin found in the serum of European eel, participates in the recognition of bacterial liposaccharides by the animal innate immunity system. Because AAA… Expand

A frequent kinase domain mutation that changes the interaction between PI3Kα and the membrane
Mutations in oncogenes often promote tumorigenesis by changing the conformation of the encoded proteins, thereby altering enzymatic activity. The PIK3CA oncogene, which encodes p110α, the catalytic… Expand

The Structure of a Human p110α/p85α Complex Elucidates the Effects of Oncogenic PI3Kα Mutations
PIK3CA, one of the two most frequently mutated oncogenes in human tumors, codes for p110α, the catalytic subunit of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, isoform α (PI3Kα, p110α/p85). Here, we report a… Expand

Nitric oxide S-nitrosylates serine racemase, mediating feedback inhibition of d-serine formation
Serine racemase (SR) generates d-serine, a coagonist with glutamate at NMDA receptors. We show that SR is physiologically S-nitrosylated leading to marked inhibition of enzyme activity. Inhibition… Expand

Enzymatic capture of an extrahelical thymine in the search for uracil in DNA
The enzyme uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) excises unwanted uracil bases in the genome using an extrahelical base recognition mechanism. Efficient removal of uracil is essential for prevention of C-to-T… Expand
