Escherichia coli YqhD Exhibits Aldehyde Reductase Activity and Protects from the Harmful Effect of Lipid Peroxidation-derived Aldehydes
TLDR
Results indicate that this enzyme may have a physiological function by protecting the cell against the toxic effect of aldehydes derived from lipid oxidation, and speculate that in Escherichia coli YqhD is part of a glutathione-independent, NADPH-dependent response mechanism to lipid peroxidation.About:

Nonthermal Dielectric-Barrier Discharge Plasma-Induced Inactivation Involves Oxidative DNA Damage and Membrane Lipid Peroxidation in Escherichia coli
Suresh G. Joshi,M. Cooper,Adam Yost,Michelle Paff,Utku Kürşat Ercan,Gregory Fridman,Gary Friedman,Alexander Fridman,Ari D. Brooks +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FE-DBD plasma-mediated inactivation involves membrane lipid peroxidation in E. coli, and ROS scavengers, such as α-tocopherol (vitamin E), were able to significantly inhibit the extent of lipidperoxidation and oxidative DNA damage.

ATP drives direct photosynthetic production of 1-butanol in cyanobacteria
Ethan I. Lan,James C. Liao +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that artificially engineered ATP consumption through a pathway modification can drive this reaction forward and enables for the first time the direct photosynthetic production of 1-butanol from cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942.

Cellulosic hydrolysate toxicity and tolerance mechanisms in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of toxicity and tolerance of organic acids, furan derivatives, and phenolic compounds with a specific focus on the important industrial organism Escherichia coli is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli by comparison of three aldehyde reductase/alcohol dehydrogenase genes
TL;DR: Compared the effect of various alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) for the last step of the isobutanol production, E. coli has the yqhD gene which encodes a broad-range ADH and shows better production than ADH2, a result confirmed by activity measurements with isobutyraldehyde.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tellurite: history, oxidative stress, and molecular mechanisms of resistance.
TL;DR: This review traces the history of Te in its biological interactions, its enigmatic toxicity, importance in cellular oxidative stress, and interaction in cysteine metabolism.
