Structure . 2013 May; 21(6):963-74. PMID: 23685211
Accumulation of 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) in bacteria disrupts the S-adenosylmethionine pool to alter biological methylations, synthesis of polyamines, and production of quorum-sensing molecules. Bacterial metabolism of MTA and...

Suarez J, Haapalainen A, Cahill S, Ho M, Yan F, Almo S, et al.
Chem Biol . 2013 Feb; 20(2):212-22. PMID: 23438750
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is a target for leukemia, gout, and autoimmune disorders. Dynamic motion of catalytic site loops has been implicated in catalysis, but experimental evidence was lacking. We...

JIMD Rep . 2013 Feb; 3:107-15. PMID: 23430882
Mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) deficiency affects both isoleucine catabolism and ketone body metabolism. The disorder is characterized by intermittent ketoacidotic episodes. We report three Japanese patients. One patient (GK69) experienced...

Biochemistry . 2012 Aug; 51(38):7541-50. PMID: 22931458
5'-Methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of adenine from methylthioadenosine (MTA). Inhibitor design and synthesis informed by transition state analysis have developed femtomolar inhibitors for MTANs, among the most...

Biochemistry . 2012 Aug; 51(35):6892-4. PMID: 22891633
Campylobacter and Helicobacter species express a 6-amino-6-deoxyfutalosine N-ribosylhydrolase (HpMTAN) proposed to function in menaquinone synthesis. BuT-DADMe-ImmA is a 36 pM transition state analogue of HpMTAN, and the crystal structure of...
