Site-specific crosslinking of annexin proteins by 1,4-benzoquinone: a novel crosslinker for the formation of protein dimers and diverse protein conjugates

Annexin V (1) specifically binds to phosphatidylserine on apoptotic and necrotic cells as well as certain cancer cells, making it an attractive vehicle for the delivery of therapeutically-relevant conjugates to such sites. The wild-type protein possesses a single thiol at Cys316, which is difficultly accessible to site-specific labeling by simple maleimides. By contrast, 1,4-benzoquinone site-specifically labels annexin V in minutes. The resulting conjugate (5) serves as an intermediate for crosslinking annexin molecules, which can be accomplished within hours either directly for linking annexin V-128 (19), or via an extended sequence involving the crosslinking of two units of (5) by the symmetrical α,ω-dithiol (20). Besides its ability to mediate protein dimer formation while retaining annexin V's ability to bind phosphatidylserine, (5) possesses classic 1,4-benzoquinone reactivity. Various nucleophiles and Diels-Alder dienes form adducts with (5) in reactions that may have general utility for the synthesis of novel biologically active entities. The present work presents the first example of thiol-specific crosslinking of proteins by 1,4-quinone-based methodology designed to exploit the reactivity of this versatile chemical entity.     

Hybird Membrane with High Proton Conductivity and Selectivity Based on SPEEK for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells

Composite membranes based on sulfonated silica/sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)(SPEEK) were prepared by means of sol-gel method so as to gain a high conductivity and reasonable methanol permeability.The sulfonated silica is generated in situ via the hydrolysis of sulfonated 3-anminopropyl triethoxysilane(KH550) synthesized newly from 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and 1,4-butane sultone.The membrane with a silica mass fraction of 5% exhibits a conductivity of 0.187 S/cm at 80 °C and a methanol coefficient with 9.72×10-7 cm2/s.The composite membranes show improved condutive ability and better selectivity that can be promisingly used in direct methanol fuel cell.

Effects of Heat Treatment on the Crystallization Behavior of Poly(3-alkylthiophenes)

IntroductionPoly( 3- alkylthiophenes) ( P3ATs) ,as a newkind of soluble,fusible and processable conductivepolymers,have attracted a great interest and muchattention ofchemistsand physicists[1,2 ] . Ithas beenwidely accepted that P3ATs can form similarlayered structures with alkyl side chains beingoriented in the lateral a- axis direction[3— 6] .Moreover,when the number of the carbon atoms inthe alkyl side chains is more than1 0 ,some orderlyarrangements of the side chains will occur between…

The Hilbert series and a-invariant of circle invariants

Let V be a finite-dimensional representation of the complex circle ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$ determined by a weight vector $\mathit{a}\in {\mathbb{Z}}^n$. We study the Hilbert series ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ of the graded algebra $\mathbb{C}{[V]}^{{\mathbb{C}}_{\mathit{a}}^{\times }}$ of polynomial ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$-invariants in terms of the weight vector a of the ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$-action. In particular, we give explicit formulas for ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ as well as the first four coefficients of the Laurent expansion of ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ at $t=1$. The naive formulas for these coefficients have removable singularities when weights pairwise coincide. Identifying these cancelations, the Laurent coefficients are expressed using partial Schur polynomials that are independently symmetric in two sets of variables. We similarly give an explicit formula for the a-invariant of $\mathbb{C}{[V]}^{{\mathbb{C}}_{\mathit{a}}^{\times }}$ in the case that this algebra is Gorenstein. As an application, we give methods to identify weight vectors with Gorenstein and non-Gorenstein invariant algebras.
