Molecular basis for catabolism of the abundant metabolite trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline by a microbial glycyl radical enzyme by Backman, Lindsey R., Huang, Yolanda Y, Andorfer, Mary, Gold, Brian, Raines, Ronald T, Balskus, Emily P, Drennan, Catherine L, Drennan, Catherine L

“…The glycyl radical enzyme (GRE) superfamily utilizes a glycyl radical cofactor to catalyze difficult chemical reactions in a variety of anaerobic microbial metabolic pathways. Recently, a GRE, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (Hyp) dehydratase (HypD), was discovered that catalyzes the dehydration of Hyp to (S)-D1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid (P5C). …”

Dissolution of calcite in the twilight zone: bacterial control of dissolution of sinking planktonic carbonates is unlikely. by Andrew Bissett, Thomas R Neu, Dirk de Beer

“…Given the short time (days) settling carbonate material is actually in the twilight zone (500-1000 m), it is highly unlikely that microbial metabolic activity on directly colonised shells plays a significant role in dissolving settling carbonates in the shallow ocean.…”
