Journal ArticleDOI

The fourth molybdenum containing enzyme mARC: cloning and involvement in the activation of N-hydroxylated prodrugs.

TL;DR: The recombinant enzyme allows prediction about in vivo reduction of N-hydroxylated prodrugs, and the prodrug principle is not dependent on cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of N(ω)-hydroxy-L-arginine by the mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component (mARC).

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that both human isoforms of the newly identified mARC (mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component) enhance the rate of reduction of NOHA, in the presence of NADH cytochrome b₅ reductase and cy tochrome b ₅, by more than 500-fold, providing the first hints that mARC might be involved in mitochondrial NOHA reduction and could be of physiological significance in affecting endogenous nitric oxide levels.

Biochemical and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Human Mitochondrial Amidoxime Reducing Components hmARC-1 and hmARC-2 Suggests the Existence of a New

TL;DR: Recombinant expression of hmARC-1 and hm ARC-2 proteins in Escherichia coli reveals that both proteins are monomeric in their active forms, which is in contrast to all other eukaryotic molybdenum enzymes that act as homo- or heterodimers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of N-hydroxy-sulfonamides, including N-hydroxy-valdecoxib, by the molybdenum-containing enzyme mARC.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N-hydroxy-valdecoxib is enzymatically reduced to its pharmacologically active metabolite valdecoxib, and is therefore a drug candidate in the treatment of diseases associated with rheumatic inflammation, pain, and fever.
