Journal ArticleDOI

A genomic overview of pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent enzymes.

TL;DR: In many free‐living prokaryotes, almost 1.5% of all genes code for PLP‐dependent enzymes, but in higher eukaryotes the percentage is substantially lower, consistent with these catalysts being involved mainly in basic metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transfer RNA gene redundancy and translational selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: Observations strongly support the notion that intracellular tRNA levels in normally growing yeast cells are mainly determined by gene copy number, which, along with codon choice, is the key parameter acted upon by translational selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The B6 database: a tool for the description and classification of vitamin B6-dependent enzymatic activities and of the corresponding protein families.

TL;DR: The B6 database is a curated repository of biochemical and molecular information about an important group of enzymes, providing a key resource for the identification, classification and comparative analysis of B6-dependent enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Completing the uric acid degradation pathway through phylogenetic comparison of whole genomes.

TL;DR: Through phylogenetic genome comparison, this work identifies here two genes that share with urate oxidase a common history of loss or gain events and shows that the two proteins encoded by mouse genes catalyze two consecutive steps following urate oxidation to 5-hydroxyisourate (HIU): hydrolysis of HIU and decarboxylation of OHCU to give S-allantoin.
