Background
A clear picture of the mechanisms controlling glutamate receptor expression, localization, and stability remains elusive, possibly due to an incomplete understanding of the proteins involved. We screened transposon mutants generated by the ongoing Drosophila Gene Disruption Project in an effort to identify the different types of genes required for glutamate receptor cluster development. 相似文献2.

The first example of a biocatalytic [2,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement reaction involving allylic sulfides and diazo reagents (Doyle–Kirmse reaction) is reported. Engineered variants of sperm whale myoglobin catalyze this synthetically valuable C?C bond‐forming transformation with high efficiency and product conversions across a variety of sulfide substrates (e.g., aryl‐, benzyl‐, and alkyl‐substituted allylic sulfides) and α‐diazo esters. Moreover, the scope of this myoglobin‐mediated transformation could be extended to the conversion of propargylic sulfides to give substituted allenes. Active‐site mutations proved effective in enhancing the catalytic efficiency of the hemoprotein in these reactions as well as modulating the enantioselectivity, resulting in the identification of the myoglobin variant Mb(L29S,H64V,V68F), which is capable of mediating asymmetric Doyle–Kirmse reactions with an enantiomeric excess up to 71 %. This work extends the toolbox of currently available biocatalytic strategies for the asymmetric formation of carbon–carbon bonds. 相似文献

Evidence suggests that transferrin can bind Ti(IV) in an unhydrolyzed form (without bound hydroxide or oxide) or in a hydrolyzed form. Ti(IV) coordination by N,N'-di(o-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (HBED) at different pH values models the two forms of Ti(IV)-loaded transferrin spectrally and structurally. 13C NMR and stopped-flow kinetic experiments reveal that when the metal is delivered to the protein using an unhydrolyzed source, Ti(IV) can coordinate in the typical distorted octahedral environment with a bound synergistic anion. The crystal structure of TiHBED obtained at low pH models this type of coordination. The solution structure of the complex compares favorably with the solid state from pH 3.0 to 4.0, and the complex can be reduced with E1/2 = -641 mV vs NHE. Kinetic and thermodynamic competition studies at pH 3.0 reveal that Ti(citrate)3 reacts with HBED via a dissociative mechanism and that the stability of TiHBED (log beta = 34.024) is weaker than that of the Fe(III) complex. pH stability studies show that Ti(IV) hydrolyzes ligand waters at higher pH but still remains bound to HBED until pH 9.5. Similarly, at a pH greater than 8.0 the synergistic anion that binds Ti(IV) in transferrin is readily displaced by irreversible metal hydrolysis although the metal remains bound to the protein until pH 9.5. Thermal denaturation studies conducted optically and by differential scanning calorimetry reveal that Ti(IV)-bound transferrin experiences only minimal enhanced thermal stability unlike when Fe(III) is bound. The C- and N-lobe transition Tm values shift to a few degrees higher. The stability, competition, and redox studies performed provide insight into the possible mechanism of Ti2-Tf transport in cells. 相似文献

The trafficking of titanium(IV) by human serum transferrin (HsTf) has been implicated in the physiology of this hydrolysis-prone metal. The current work broadens to include the further interactions of Ti(IV) in serum that bear on this model. Ti2HsTf (2 equiv) binds the transferrin receptor TfR1 with Kd1 = 6.3 +/- 0.4 nM and Kd2 = 410 +/- 150 nM, values that are the tightest yet measured for a metal other than iron but weaker than the corresponding ones for Fe2HsTf due to both slightly slower on rates and slightly faster off rates. Comparing the affinities of metals for HsTf with the affinities of the resulting M2HsTf species for TfR1, we speculate that the formation of an M2HsTf complex of high affinity may predict a lobe-closed conformation that leads to a favorable interaction with TfR1. Human serum albumin (HSA), an important serum competitor for metal binding, can bind up to 20 equiv of Ti(IV) supplied in several forms. With some ligands, Ti(IV) may bind to the N-terminal metal binding site of albumin, forming a ternary complex. However, the dominant type of HSA binding is via Ti(IV) in complex form, probably at surface sites. Notably, HSA greatly stabilizes the titanocene moiety of the drug candidate Cp2TiCl2 with respect to hydrolysis and precipitation. HSA binds Ti(IV) citrate supplied as a hydrolyzed or unhydrolyzed source, with 1 equiv of citrate remaining bound. Titanium(IV) monocitrate neither competes with the binding of reporter molecules known to dock at canonical drug sites I or II nor binds at the N-terminus. HsTf outcompetes HSA for soluble Ti(IV) in a direct competition, but once bound to albumin, the transfer of Ti(IV) from HSA to HsTf is quite slow. Each of these findings has implications for the metabolism of Ti(IV) in human serum. 相似文献

(±)-1,2-O-Isopropylidene-3,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol is a relevant starting material in the synthesis of inositol phosphates and their analogs. In this study, we disclose our efforts toward an efficient methodology for the kinetic resolution of this compound by lipase B of Candida antarctica (Novozym 435). This reaction selectively affords L-(?)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-acetyl-3,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol. From a conversion of 34% with EtOAc as an acylating agent, the use of vinyl acetate increased the yield to over 49%, while maintaining a very high ee (>99%). The combination of the latter reagent with TBME as a solvent accelerates the reaction. 相似文献

LOWDIN is a computational program that implements the Any Particle Molecular Orbital (APMO) method. The current version of the code encompasses Hartree–Fock, second‐order Møller–Plesset, configuration interaction, density functional, and generalized propagator theories. LOWDIN input file offers a unique flexibility, allowing users to exploit all the programs' capabilities to study systems containing any type and number of quantum species. This review provides a basic introduction to LOWDIN's key computational details and capabilities. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of RNA unfolding and refolding under mechanical tension. The hierarchical nature of RNA structure and the existence of thermodynamic parameters for base pair formation based on nearest-neighbour interactions allows modelling of sequence-dependent folding dynamics for any secondary structure. We calculate experimental observables such as the transition force for unfolding, the end-to-end distribution function and its variance, as well as kinetic information, for a representative RNA sequence and for a sequence containing two homopolymer segments: A.U and G.C. 相似文献
