Since then, several nickel-dependent enzymes have been discovered and characterized at the molecular level using structural, spectroscopic, and kinetic methods, and insight into reaction mechanisms has been elaborated using synthetic and computational models. The dual role of nickel as both an essential nutrient and as a toxin has prompted efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms of nickel toxicology and to uncover the means by which cells select nickel from among a pool of different and more readily available metal ions and thus regulate the intracellular chemistry of nickel. This latter effort highlights the importance of proteins involved in the extra- and intra-cellular sensing of nickel, the roles of nickel-selective proteins for import and export, and nickel-responsive transcription factors, all of which are important for regulating nickel homeostasis. In this Special Issue, the contributing authors have covered recent advances in many of these aspects of nickel biochemistry, including toxicology, bacterial pathogenesis, carcinogenesis, computational and synthetic models, nickel trafficking proteins, and enzymology.Research & information: generalbicsscInrSnickel-dependent transcriptional regulatorsmolecular modellingnickelhydrogenaseureaseNi-enzymespathogensncRNAmiRNAlncRNAlung carcinogenesishistidine-rich proteincarbon monoxide dehydrogenasenickel chaperonenickel-induced oligomerizationurease maturationmetallochaperoneG-proteinconformational changebioavailabilitycarcinogenicitygenotoxicityallergyreproductiveasthmananoparticlesecotoxicityenvironmentbiological nickel sitesnickel-thiolatesdinuclear nickel metallopeptidesthiolate oxidative damagenickel enzymesreaction mechanismquantum chemical calculationsglyoxalasestreptomycesmycothiolmetalloenzymeAD11nickel-dependent enzymemethionine salvage pathwaymethionineS-adenosylmethionine (SAM)methylthioadenosine (MTA)enolase phosphatase 1 (ENOPH1)polyaminematrix metalloproteinase MT1 (MT1-MMP)metalloregulatorchaperone[NiFe]-hydrogenaseResearch & information: generalMaroney Michael Jedt1313319Ciurli StefanoedtMaroney Michael JothCiurli StefanoothBOOK9910557146703321Bioinorganic Chemistry of Nickel3031282UNINA
