Coordinated conformational changes in P450 decarboxylases enable hydrocarbons production from renewable feedstocks by Wesley Cardoso Generoso, Alana Helen Santana Alvarenga, Isabelle Taira Simões, Renan Yuji Miyamoto, Ricardo Rodrigues de Melo, Ederson Paulo Xavier Guilherme, Fernanda Mandelli, Clelton Aparecido Santos, Rafaela Prata, Camila Ramos dos Santos, Felippe Mariano Colombari, Mariana Abrahão Bueno Morais, Rodrigo Pimentel Fernandes, Gabriela Felix Persinoti, Mario Tyago Murakami, Leticia Maria Zanphorlin

“…In this study, we elucidate structural features in P450 decarboxylases that enable the catalysis of unsaturated substrates, expanding the mechanistic pathways for decarboxylation reaction. Combining X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning, we have identified intricate molecular rearrangements within the active site that enable the Cβ atom of the substrate to approach the heme iron, thereby promoting oleate decarboxylation. …”

Effects of RARα ligand binding domain mutations on breast fibroepithelial tumor function and signaling by Xi Xiao Huang, Ley Moy Ng, Po-Hsien Lee, Peiyong Guan, Mun Juinn Chow, Aisyah Binte Mohamed Bashir, Meina Lau, Kenric Yi Shu Tan, Zhimei Li, Jason Yongsheng Chan, Jing Han Hong, Sheng Rong Ng, Tun Kiat Ko, Hong Lee Heng, Hsiang Ling Teo, Daniela Rhodes, Patrick Tan, Puay Hoon Tan, Donald P. McDonnell, Bin Tean Teh

“…All tested mutants exhibited reduced transcriptional activity compared to wild-type RARα and showed a dominant negative effect, a feature associated with developmental defects and tumor formation. X-ray crystallography revealed that the mutants maintained structural integrity, with altered co-activator recruitment explaining the loss of transcriptional function. …”
