Homology Modeling of Cyt2Ca1 of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Molecular Docking with Inositol Monophosphate

Cyt2Ca1 is an insecticidal crystal protein produced by Bacillus thuringiensis ET29 during its stationary phase, and this δ‐endotoxin demonstrates remarkable insecticidal activity against not only insects of the order Coleoptera, but also against fleas, and in particular the larvae of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis. The first theoretical model of the three‐dimensional structure of Cyt2Ca1 was predicted and compared with Cyt2Aa, which is lethal to insect larvae. The three‐dimensional structure of the Cyt2Ca1 was obtained by homology modeling on the structures of the Cyt2Aa protein. The deduced model resembles previously reported Cyt2Aa toxin. A binding mode of inositol monophosphate as a polar head group of the putative membrane phospholipid ligand to Cyt2Ca1 was presented using molecular docking. The residues of Leu9, Glu21, Tyr23 and Gln110 of the Cyt2Ca1 toxin are responsible for the interactions with inositol monophosphate via eight hydrogen bonds. Those residues could be important for receptor recognition. This binding simulation will be helpful for the design of mutagenesis experiments aimed at the improvement of toxicity, and lead to a deep understanding of the mechanism of action of Cyt toxins.

Effect of organic and inorganic acids on chitosan/glycerophosphate thermosensitive hydrogel

The influence of organic and inorganic acids on chitosan/glycerophosphate (CS/GP) hydrogel has been investigated by dissolving chitosan in different acids. The results of gelation showed that all of the chitosan dissolved in monovalent acid solutions (i.e., formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, isobutyric, lactic, nitric, hydrochloric, and chloroacetic acid), when neutralized by GP solution, could transform into hydrogel after 2–5 min at 37 °C, while those dissolved in multivalent acids failed in gel formation. The inner structures of CS/GP hydrogels prepared with monovalent acids depended on the ionic strength and chain length of acids. Morphological examination by scanning electron microphotography demonstrated that large pores occurred during the gel-forming process, and the aperture size was also related to different acids. The cytotoxicity studies indicated that CS/GP systems prepared by dissolving chitosan in tested acids except chloroacetic acid were nontoxic to mouse embryonic fibroblasts and Hela cells.

Application of a genomic model for high‐dimensional chemometric analysis

The rapid development of new technologies for large‐scale analysis of genetic variation in the genomes of individuals and populations has presented statistical geneticists with a grand challenge to develop efficient methods for identifying the small proportion of all identified genetic polymorphisms that have effects on traits of interest. To address such a “large p small n” problem, we have developed a heteroscedastic effects model (HEM) that has been shown to be powerful in high‐throughput genetic analyses. Here, we describe how this whole‐genome model can also be utilized in chemometric analysis. As a proof of concept, we use HEM to predict analyte concentrations in silage using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy signals. The results show that HEM often outperforms the classic methods and in addition to this presents a substantial computational advantage in the analyses of such high‐dimensional data. The results thus show the value of taking an interdisciplinary approach to chemometric analysis and indicate that large‐scale genomic models can be a promising new approach for chemometric analysis that deserve to be evaluated more by experts in the field.

The infinite one‐dimensional chain polymer catena‐poly­[[bis­[μ‐1,1′‐ethane‐1,2‐diyl­bis(1,2,4‐triazole)‐κ2N4:N4′]­bis­[azido­zinc(II)]]‐di‐μ‐azido‐κ4N1:N1]

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(N₃)₂(C₆H₈N₆)]_n or [Zn(N₃)₂(bte)]_n, where bte is μ‐1,2‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)­ethane, each Zn atom is pentacoordinated in a distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal coordination environment involving two N atoms from two bte ligands and three N atoms from three azide ligands. The Zn atoms are bridged by μ‐1,1‐azide groups and bte ligands around a centre of inversion, forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain containing both four‐membered Zn(μ‐1,1‐N₃)₂Zn and 18‐membered Zn(gauche‐bte)₂Zn rings.
