    Abstract Anaerobic microbes in the human gut produce beneficial and harmful compounds, as well as neutral compounds like trimethylamine, which undergoes microbial metabolism or host-catalyzed transformation into proatherogenic trimethylamine-N-oxide. Ellenbogen et al. identified a microbiome-associated demethylase that short-circuits the production of trimethylamine-N-oxide from the metabolite γ-butyrobetaine and instead produces methyltetrahydrofolate, a key intermediate in the microbial production of beneficial small-chain fatty acids. This article highlights an example of how the microbiome is integrally involved in producing metabolites that support our health and in preventing the formation of compounds that promote disease.

    Abstract Labile heme, as opposed to heme that is tightly bound within proteins, is thought to require a chaperone to be trafficked within the cell due to its cytotoxicity, but the identity of this chaperone was not known. A new study reveals that an unlikely protein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), is a heme chaperone that binds and transfers labile heme to downstream target proteins. These results provide a new framework for understanding heme homeostasis and raise intriguing questions regarding the intersection of heme transport, carbohydrate metabolism, and intracellular signaling.

    Abstract Heme is an essential biomolecule and cofactor involved in a myriad of biological processes. In this review, we focus on how heme binding to heme regulatory motifs (HRMs), catalytic sites, and gas signaling molecules as well as how changes in the heme redox state regulate protein structure, function, and degradation. We also relate these heme-dependent changes to the affected metabolic processes. We center our discussion on two HRM-containing proteins: human heme oxygenase-2, a protein that binds and degrades heme (releasing Fe

    Abstract Methane, the major component of natural gas, has been in use in human civilization since ancient times as a source of fuel and light. Methanogens are responsible for synthesis of most of the methane found on Earth. The enzyme responsible for catalyzing the chemical step of methanogenesis is methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), a nickel enzyme that contains a tetrapyrrole cofactor called coenzyme F430, which can traverse the Ni(I), (II), and (III) oxidation states. MCR and methanogens are also involved in anaerobic methane oxidation. This review describes structural, kinetic, and computational studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism of MCR. Such studies are expected to impact the many ramifications of methane in our society and environment, including energy production and greenhouse gas warming.
