Vitamin B12 deficiency and impaired expression of amnionless during aging

Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa

Background Physical frailty and loss of mobility in elderly individuals lead to reduced independence, quality of life, and increased mortality. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to several age-related chronic diseases, including in the musculo-skeleta ...

Functional genomics of corrinoid starvation in the organohalide-respiring bacterium Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Yue Lu, Hauke Smidt, Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli

De novo comnoid biosynthesis represents one of the most complicated metabolic pathways in nature. Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) have developed different strategies to deal with their need of corrinoid, as it is an essential cofactor of reductive d ...

Understanding the metabolism of tetrachloroethene-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus : from genome analysis, corrinoid cofactor biosynthesis to regulation of reductive dehalogenases

Aamani Rupakula Boyanapalli

Tetra- and trichloroethene (PCE, TCE) are organohalides polluting the environment as a result of inappropriate use, storage, and disposal by various industries. Anthropogenic pollution by organohalides is a major source of concern because of their undesira ...

Diversity of cobalamin riboswitches in the corrinoid-producing organohalide respirer Desulfitobacterium hafniense

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Aurélie Duret

The strategic adaptation of prokaryotes in polluted niches involves the efficient regulation of their metabolism. The obligate anaerobe and metabolically versatile Desulfitobacterium hafniense reductively dechlorinates halogenated organic compounds (so-cal ...

A vitamin B-12 transporter in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

John McKinney

Vitamin B-12-depende enzymes function in core biochemical pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an obligate pathogen whose metabolism in vivo is poorly understood. Although M. tuberculosis can access vitamin B-12 in vitro, it is uncertain whether the org ...

Functional characterization of a vitamin B12-dependent methylmalonyl pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: implications for propionate metabolism during growth on fatty acids

John McKinney

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is predicted to subsist on alternative carbon sources during persistence within the human host. Catabolism of odd- and branched-chain fatty acids, branched-chain amino acids, and cholesterol generates propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) a ...
