The aftermath of the interplay between the endoplasmic reticulum stress response and redox signaling
Kashi Raj Bhattarai Thoufiqul Alam Riaz Hyung-Ryong Kim Han-Jung Chae 《Experimental & molecular medicine》2021,53(2):151
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an essential organelle of eukaryotic cells. Its main functions include protein synthesis, proper protein folding, protein modification, and the transportation of synthesized proteins. Any perturbations in ER function, such as increased demand for protein folding or the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER lumen, lead to a stress response called the unfolded protein response (UPR). The primary aim of the UPR is to restore cellular homeostasis; however, it triggers apoptotic signaling during prolonged stress. The core mechanisms of the ER stress response, the failure to respond to cellular stress, and the final fate of the cell are not yet clear. Here, we discuss cellular fate during ER stress, cross talk between the ER and mitochondria and its significance, and conditions that can trigger ER stress response failure. We also describe how the redox environment affects the ER stress response, and vice versa, and the aftermath of the ER stress response, integrating a discussion on redox imbalance-induced ER stress response failure progressing to cell death and dynamic pathophysiological changes.Subject terms: Mechanisms of disease, Cell biology 相似文献

The macrocyclic "cholaphanes" 3a-c were synthesized from the inexpensive steroid cholic acid. Like earlier relatives they feature substantial cavities with inward-directed hydroxyl groups, suitable for binding polar molecules such as carbohydrates in nonpolar media. New features are the externally directed alkyl chains, promoting solubility in organic solvents, and (in the case of 3b/c) reduced conformational freedom resulting from truncation of the steroidal side-chain. In particular, modeling shows that the smallest macrocycle 3c possesses very little flexibility, preferring an open conformation which is also revealed in the X-ray crystal structure of its pentahydrate. NMR studies indicated that all three cholaphanes form 1:1 complexes with octyl beta-D-glucoside in CDCl(3), with K(a) = 600-1560 M(-)(1). Cholaphanes 3b/c proved able to extract methyl beta-D-glucoside from aqueous solutions into CHCl(3). The transport of methyl beta-D-glucoside across a chloroform barrier was also demonstrated for 3c. 相似文献

Multidentate naphthyridine-based ligands were used to prepare a series of diiron(II) complexes. The compound [Fe(2)(BPMAN)(mu-O(2)CPh)(2)](OTf)(2) (1), where BPMAN = 2,7-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-1,8-naphthyridine, exhibits two reversible oxidation waves with E(1/2) values at +310 and +733 mV vs Cp(2)Fe(+)/Cp(2)Fe, as revealed by cyclic voltammetry. Reaction with O(2) or H(2)O(2) affords a product with optical and M?ssbauer properties that are characteristic of a (mu-oxo)diiron(III) species. The complexes [Fe(2)(BPMAN)(mu-OH)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))](OTf)(2) (2) and [Fe(2)(BPMAN)(mu-OMe)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))](OTf)(2) (3) were synthesized, where Ar(Tol)CO(2)(-) is the sterically hindered ligand 2,6-di(p-tolyl)benzoate. Compound 2 has a reversible redox wave at +11 mV, and both 2 and 3 react with O(2), via a mixed-valent Fe(II)Fe(III) intermediate, to give final products that are also consistent with (mu-oxo)diiron(III) species. The paddle-wheel compound [Fe(2)(BBAN)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))(3)](OTf) (4), where BBAN = 2,7-bis(N,N-dibenzylaminomethyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, reacts with dioxygen to yield benzaldehyde via oxidative N-dealkylation of a benzyl group on BBAN, an internal substrate. In the presence of bis(4-methylbenzyl)amine, the reaction also produces p-tolualdehyde, revealing oxidation of an external substrate. A structurally related compound, [Fe(2)(BEAN)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))(3)](OTf) (5), where BEAN = 2,7-bis(N,N-diethylaminomethyl)-1,8-naphthyridine, does not undergo N-dealkylation, nor does it facilitate the oxidation of bis(4-methylbenzyl)amine. The contrast in reactivity of 4 and 5 is attributed to a difference in accessibility of the substrate to the diiron centers of the two compounds. The M?ssbauer spectroscopic properties of the diiron(II) complexes were also investigated. 相似文献

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of human membrane proteins and serve as primary targets of approximately one-third of currently marketed drugs. In particular, adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) is an important therapeutic target for treating cardiac ischemia–reperfusion injuries, neuropathic pain, and renal diseases. As a prototypical GPCR, the A1AR is located within a phospholipid membrane bilayer and transmits cellular signals by changing between different conformational states. It is important to elucidate the lipid–protein interactions in order to understand the functional mechanism of GPCRs. Here, all-atom simulations using a robust Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) method were performed on both the inactive (antagonist bound) and active (agonist and G-protein bound) A1AR, which was embedded in a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) lipid bilayer. In the GaMD simulations, the membrane lipids played a key role in stabilizing different conformational states of the A1AR. Our simulations further identified important regions of the receptor that interacted distinctly with the lipids in highly correlated manner. Activation of the A1AR led to differential dynamics in the upper and lower leaflets of the lipid bilayer. In summary, GaMD enhanced simulations have revealed strongly coupled dynamics of the GPCR and lipids that depend on the receptor activation state. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

A new class of oxo-bridged high-valent hexamanganese (Mn6) clusters containing a novel (Mn6O8)6+ core, [MnIV(4)MnIII2(mu-O)4(mu3-O)4(dmb)6(O2CR)2]4+ (where dmb=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, and RCO2=2,6-di(p-tolyl)benzoate (Ar(Tol)CO2-) (3) or 2,6-di(4-tert-butylphenyl)benzoate (Ar(4-tBuPh)CO2-) (4)), was synthesized using sterically hindered m-terphenyl-derived carboxylate ligands. These complexes can be synthesized by oxidizing the MnII mononuclear complexes, [Mn(dmb)2(OH2)(O2CR)]+ (where RCO2=Ar(Tol)CO2- (1) or Ar(4-tBuPh)CO2- (2)) with (n-Bu4N)MnO4, by direct Mn(II) + Mn(VII) in situ comproportionation reactions, or by ligand substitution on the dinuclear manganese (III,IV) or (IV,IV) complexes, [(Mn2(mu-O)2(dmb)4)](3+/4+). The compound [MnIV4MnIII2(mu-O)4(mu3-O)4(dmb)6(Ar(Tol)CO2)2](OTf)4 [3(OTf)4] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with the cell parameters a=15.447(1) A, b=15.077(2) A, c=27.703(2) A, beta=91.68(2) degrees, V=6449.3(6) A3, and Z=2. The X-ray structure reveals that there are three different bridging modes for the oxo groups: mu, "pyramidal" mu3, and "T-shaped" mu3. Solid-state variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies suggest that the Mn centers are net antiferromagnetically coupled to yield a diamagnetic ST=0 ground spin state with a large number of low-lying, thermally accessible states with ST>0. 1H NMR spectra were recorded for both Mn6 clusters and selected resonances assigned. The electronic and redox properties of these complexes along with the effect of the presence of the bulky carboxylate ligands are also described here. 相似文献

This paper examines ways in which the addition of data modeling features can enhance the capabilities of mathematical modeling languages. It demonstrates how such integration is achieved as an application of the embedded languages technique proposed by Bhargava and Kimbrough [4]. Decision-making, and decision support systems, require the representation and manipulation of both data and mathematical models. Several data modeling languages as well as several mathematical modeling languages exist, but they have different sets of these capabilities. We motivate with a detailed example the need for the integration of these capabilities. We describe the benefits that might result, and claim that this could lead to a significant improvement in the functionality of model management systems. Then we present our approach for the integration of these languages, and specify how the claimed benefits can be realized.The author's work on this paper was performed in conjunction with research funded by the Naval Postgraduate School. 相似文献

The constrained forest problem seeks a minimum-weight spanning forest in an undirected edge-weighted graph such that each tree spans at least a specified number of vertices. We present a greedy heuristic for this NP-hard problem, whose solutions are at least as good as, and often better than, those produced by the best-known 2-approximate heuristic. 相似文献

This study deals with the synthesis of cysteine capped gold nanoparticles with an average size of 12 nm by borohydride reduction and spectroscopic identification of SAu interaction. We have studied the interaction of thiol with gold nanoparticles in aqueous medium by employing UV-vis, Raman, NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The shifting of gold plasmon resonance in the UV-vis spectra shows the stabilization of gold nanoparticles by cysteine. The disappearance of S-H stretching in both the IR and Raman spectra and the shifting of the NMR signals of the protons in close proximity to the metal center supported the existence of the S-Au interaction in cysteine capped gold nanoparticles. The TEM images shows cysteine capped gold nanoparticles as distinct and spherical entities as compared to free colloidal gold nanoparticles. 相似文献
