ESR of Copper in Biological Systems
- Biology
- 1978
It is now beyond dispute that small amounts of certain copper proteins play important roles in both animal and plant physiology and that the highest concentrations of copper, in decreasing order, are found in liver, brain, heart, muscle, and kidney.
Modulating the immune system by amino acid depletion : IDO and beyond
- Biology
- 2011
This study investigated the IDO inhibitory properties and mechanism of action of the tryptophan metabolite 3-HAA that potentially forms a negative feedback loop in the kynurenine pathway, and examined mechanisms of T-cell suppression employed by myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), focusing on their ability to deplete amino acids from their microenvironment.
IDO Induces Expression of a Novel Tryptophan Transporter in Mouse and Human Tumor Cells
- Biology, ChemistryThe Journal of Immunology
- 2011
It is demonstrated that IDO+ tumor cells express a novel amino acid transporter, which accounts for ∼50% of the tryptophan uptake, and could be a way of pharmacological inhibition of IDO-mediated tumor escape.
Human Tumor Cells Tryptophan Transporter in Mouse and IDO Induces Expression of a Novel
- Biology, Chemistry
The results indicate that IDO expression, both in mouse and in human tumor cells, results in modified tryptophan uptake through a novel transport system that has functional properties different from those of System L.
Biochemical and Spectroscopic Characterization of Tryptophan Oxygenation: Tryptophan 2, 3-Dioxygenase and Maug
- Chemistry, Biology
- 2009
Two unidentified enzymatic activities of ferric TDO from Ralstonia metallidurans are revealed, which are peroxide driven oxygenation and catalase-like activity and stoichiometric titration suggests that two moles of H2O2 were required for the production of one mole of N-formylkynurenine.
Tryptophan and the immune response
- BiologyImmunology and cell biology
- 2003
The issue of immunomodulatory actions of tryptophan catabolites is examined in detail, and the possible involvement of quinolinate as a means of replenishing NAD + in leucocytes, which is depleted by oxidative stress during an immune response.

It is established that copper, as well as heme, is essential for the catalytic activity of both hepatic and bacterial tryptophan oxygenases and that as the enzyme develops a requirement for an exogenous reductant, such as ascorbate, the (Cu+)/(Cu+ + Cu2+) ratio decreases.
