1. Class I Ribonucleotide Reductases : overall activity regulation, oligomerization, and drug targeting
Sammanfattning : Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is a key enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis and homeostatic maintenance of all four DNA building blocks by being able to make deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides. It is important for the cell to control the production of a balanced supply of the dNTPs to minimize misincorporations in DNA. LÄS MER
2. The evolution of ribonucleotide reductases
Sammanfattning : Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyses the transformation of RNA building blocks, ribonucleotides, to DNA building blocks, deoxyribonucleotides. This is the only extant reaction pathway for de novo synthesis of DNA building blocks and the enzyme is thus necessary for life. RNR is found in all but a few organisms. LÄS MER
3. Activation and inhibition of diiron and iron-manganese ribonucleotide reductases
Sammanfattning : Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyses the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. In conventional class I RNRs the active site is located in the R1 subunit, and the R2 subunit contains a diiron cofactor and a stable tyrosyl radical essential for activity. LÄS MER
4. Structural and functional studies on ribonucleotide reductase protein B2 from Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotidesto the corresponding deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks forDNA. The enzyme from Escherichia coli consists of two proteins.Bl and B2. Protein B2 contains two dinuclear iron centers and astable tyrosyl radical. LÄS MER
5. Quaternary structure and interaction approaches to allosteric regulation of class I ribonucleotide reductases
Sammanfattning : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chains in which our genetic blueprint is stored are built from four DNA precursors by DNA polymerases. The enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) provides the only de novo synthesis pathway of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides and is essential for nearly all organisms. LÄS MER
