Calsequestrin (CASQ) exists as two distinct isoforms CASQ1 and CASQ2 in all vertebrates. Although the isoforms exhibit unique functional characteristic, the structural basis for the same is yet to be fully defined. Interestingly, the C‐terminal region of the two isoforms exhibit significant differences both in length and amino acid composition; forming Dn‐motif and DEXn‐motif in CASQ1 and CASQ2, respectively. Here, we investigated if the unique C‐terminal motifs possess Ca2+‐sensitivity and affect protein function. Sequence analysis shows that both the Dn‐ and DEXn‐motifs are intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of the protein, a feature that is conserved from fish to man. Using purified synthetic peptides, we show that these motifs undergo distinctive Ca2+‐mediated folding suggesting that these disordered motifs are Ca2+‐sensitivity. We generated chimeric proteins by swapping the C‐terminal portions between CASQ1 and CASQ2. Our studies show that the C‐terminal portions do not play significant role in protein folding. An interesting finding of the current study is that the switching of the C‐terminal portion completely reverses the polymerization kinetics. Collectively, these data suggest that these Ca2+‐sensitivity IDRs located at the back‐to‐back dimer interface influence isoform‐specific Ca2+‐dependent polymerization properties of CASQ. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) occur widely in nature and have been studied for their therapeutic potential. AMPs are of interest due to the large number of possible chemical structural combinations using natural and unnatural amino acids, with varying effects on their biological activities. Using physicochemical properties from known naturally occurring amphipathic cationic AMPs, several hydrocarbon‐stapled lipopeptides (HSLPs) were designed, synthesized, and tested for antimicrobial properties. Peptides were chemically modified by N‐terminal acylation, C‐terminal amidation, and some were hydrocarbon stapled by intramolecular olefin metathesis. The effects of peptide length, amphipathic character, and stapling on antimicrobial activity were tested against Escherichia coli, three species of Gram‐positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus megaterium, and Enterococcus faecalis ), and two strains of Candida albicans . Peptides were shown to disrupt liposomes of different phospholipid composition, as measured by leakage of a fluorescent compound from vesicles. Peptides with (S)−2‐(4′‐pentenyl)‐alanine substituted for l ‐alanine in a reference peptide showed a marked increase in antimicrobial activity, hemolysis, and membrane disruption. Stapled peptides exhibited slightly higher antimicrobial potency; those with greatest hydrophobic character showed the greatest hemolysis and liposome leakage, but lower antimicrobial activity. The results support a model of HSLPs as membrane‐disruptive AMPs with potent antimicrobial activity and relatively low hemolytic potential at biologically active peptide concentrations. 相似文献

A convenient method for the generation of (+)‐sedamine and (+)‐allosedamine in high optical purity has been elaborated. The key steps are the highly stereoselective 1,2‐nucleophilic addition to SAMP hydrazones allowing the installation of the stereogenic center at C2 and ring closing metathesis.

We compare herein the scope of three copper (I) catalysts on the synthesis of various 1,4-disubstitued-1,2,3-triazolo-carbanucleosides through a microwave (and thermic) assisted Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper hexafluorophosphate ([Cu(CH 3 CN)4]PF 6 ), the imidazoline(mesythyl)copper bromide (Imes)CuBr, and the copper/copper sulfate Cu(0)/CuSO 4 (II) mixture have been chosen for this study. Their influence in a catalytic amount will be analyzed according to the substituent of the alkyne, the solvent, or the heating method. 相似文献

Six-membered cyclic sulfites derived from glucofuranose derivatives 5, 6 and from 1-O-tert-butyldimethylsilil-1,2,4-butanetriol 12 were synthesized and separated into pure diastereomers which were in turn subjected to the sequence of reactions leading to the introduction of the terminal vinyl ether fragment. Reactivity and applicability of cyclic sulfites as intermediates in [2+2]cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) to vinyl ethers were studied. The cycloaddition to vinyl ethers 19 and 20 proceeded in low yield and low asymmetric induction, in the case of the former, and moderate yield and pronounced asymmetric induction, in the case of the latter. The (1)H-NMR spectra of sulfites 13-16 reveal a preference of the sulfite oxygen atom for the axial position. Thus, well-defined conformation in solution for compounds 13 and 15 and a mixture of the two possible chair forms for sulfites 14 and 16 could be assigned. The stretching frequency of the S-->O bond in stable conformation with an axial sulfite oxygen occurs in the range 1,160-1,210 cm(-1), whereas conformationally mobile sulfites exhibit corresponding absorption above 1,220 cm(-1). The absolute configuration assignments of sulfites 7, 8, 15, 16 and 25-28 were done empirically based on the combined analysis of the NMR, IR, X-ray, and dichroic data. It was demonstrated that the sign of the Cotton effect around 194 nm correlated with the absolute stereochemistry at the sulfur atom in a sulfite chromophore. 相似文献

A calculation of the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of carbonmonoxy- and deoxy-myoglobin is carried out in relation to a time-resolved CD experiment. This calculation allows us to assign a dominant role to the proximal histidine in the definition of the electronic normal modes and to interpret the transient CD structure observed in a strain of the proximal histidine. This strain builds up in 10 ps and relaxes in 50 ps as the protein evolves towards its deoxy form. 相似文献

Cyclophanes and their analogues are of interest in bioactive molecule development and in biomimetic, supramolecular and materials chemistry. Novel hybrids of sugars and cyclophanes (glycophanes) have been prepared via the coupling of alkenyl and alkynyl glucopyranosiduronic acids with phenylene-1,4-diamine and xylene-1,4-diamine and subsequent intramolecular metathesis. Structural studies showed that the geometric arrangements of the sugar groups in the macrocycles containing secondary amides differ from those in macrocycles that contain tertiary amides. This is due to the amides adopting different configurational preferences. The compounds had low solubility in water, precluding an investigation of their recognition phenomena in this medium. 相似文献

A convenient and modular synthesis involving diastereoselective Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was carried out to furnish 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles of Ludartin. This reaction scheme involving Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction leading to the formation of triazolyl analogs is being reported for the first time. All the triazolyl products were characterised using spectral data analysis. Sulphorhodamine B cytotoxicity screening of the resulting products against a panel of five human cancerous cell-lines revealed that few of the analogs display promising broad spectrum cytotoxic effect. Among all the synthesized compounds, only 3q displayed the best cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 12, 11, 38, 39 and 8.5 μM but less than the standard Ludartin (1) with IC50 values of 6.3, 7.4, 7.5, 6.9 and 0.5 μM against human neuroblastoma (T98G), lung (A-549), prostate (PC-3), colon (HCT-116) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, respectively. The present synthesis was designed based on the previous literature reports of Ludartin as an aromatase inhibitor. Our work provides an initial study on structure–activity relationship of triazolyl analogs of sesquiterpene lactones in general and Ludartin (1) in particular. 相似文献

The interactions of poly‐L ‐glutamic acid and a cationic porphyrin derivative in aqueous solutions were studied by the combination of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopies. It was found that non‐covalent interactions between both agents influence the structure of the polymeric matrix and the guest porphyrins and vice versa, but the physico‐chemical properties of the solutions, especially the pH and the relative permittivity of the solvent, play a key role in the structure of the polypeptide part of the formed complexes. It was shown that the interaction with porphyrins prevents the precipitation of poly‐L ‐glutamic acid in aqueous solution at acidic pH. In special conditions, the porphyrins attached to the polypeptide probably possess face‐to‐face interaction as demonstrated by the enhancement of the characteristic ECD signal and the appearance of sidebands on its short and long wavelength sides.

The salen‐type ligand prepared with (R,R) diphenylethan‐1,2‐diamine and salicylaldehyde provides stable and inert complexes KLnL2 upon simple reaction with lanthanide halides or pseudohalides LnX3 (Ln = Tb3+‐Lu3+; X = Cl? or TfO?) of its potassium salt. All the complexes were completely characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electronic circular dichroism (ECD) in the UV and some (Er3+, Tm3+, Yb3+) also with Near‐IR ECD (NIR‐ECD) and luminescence (Tb3+, Tm3+). Careful analysis of the NMR shifts demonstrated that the complexes are isostructural in solution and afforded an accurate geometry. This was further confirmed by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) optimization of the Lu3+ complex, and by comparing the ligand‐centered experimental and time‐dependent TD‐DFT computed UV‐ECD spectra. As final validation, we used the NIR‐ECD spectrum of the Yb3+ derivative calculated by means of Richardson's equations. The excellent match between calculated and experimental ECD spectra confirm the quality of the NMR structure. Chirality 27:857–863, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Molecular processes depending on protein–protein interactions can use consensus recognition sequences that possess defined secondary structures. Left‐handed polyproline II (PPII) helices are a class of secondary structure commonly involved with cellular signal transduction. However, unlike α‐helices, for which a substantial body of work exists regarding applications of ring‐closing metathesis (RCM), there are few reports on the stabilization of PPII helices by RCM methodologies. The current study examined the effects of RCM macrocyclization on left‐handed PPII helices involved with the SH3 domain‐mediated binding of Sos1–Grb2. Starting with the Sos1‐derived peptide “Ac‐V1‐P2‐P3‐P4‐V5‐P6‐P7‐R8‐R9‐R10‐amide,” RCM macrocyclizations were conducted using alkenyl chains of varying lengths originating from the pyrrolidine rings of the Pro4 and Pro7 residues. The resulting macrocyclic peptides showed increased helicity as indicated by circular dichroism and enhanced abilities to block Grb2–Sos1 interactions in cell lysate pull‐down assays. The synthetic approach may be useful in RCM macrocyclizations, where maintenance of proline integrity at both ring junctures is desired. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Variations in the structure of d(GGGA)(5) oligonucleotide in the presence of Li(+), Na(+), and K(+) ions and its temperature stability were studied using electronic and vibrational circular dichroism, IR absorption, and ab initio calculations with the Becke 3-Lee-Yang-Parr functional at the 6-31G** level. The samples were characterized by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis. Oligonucleotide d(GGGA)(5) in the presence of Li(+) forms a nonplanar single tetramer, with angles of 102 degrees and 171 degrees between neighboring guanine bases. This tetramer changes its geometry at temperatures >50 degrees C, but does not form a quadruplex structure. In the presence of Na(+), the d(GGGA)(5) structure was optimized to almost planar tetramers with an angle of 177 degrees between neighboring guanines. The spectral results suggest that it stacks into a quadruplex helical structure. This quadruplex structure decayed to a single tetramer at temperatures >60 degrees C. The Hartree-Fock energies imply that d(GGGA)(5) prefers to form complexes with Na(+) rather than Li(+). The d(GGGA)(5) structure in the presence of monovalent ions is stabilized against thermal denaturation in the order Li(+) < Na(+) < K(+). 相似文献

Two couples of enantiomeric platinum(II) complexes: Pt(L1a)Cl ( 1a ), Pt(L1b)Cl ( 1b ) and Pt(L1a)(C ≡ C ? Ph) ( 2a ), Pt(L1b)(C ≡ C ? Ph) ( 2b ) (L1a = (+)‐1,3‐di‐(2‐(4,5‐pinene)pyridyl)benzene, L1b = (?)‐1,3‐di‐(2‐(4,5‐pinene)pyridyl)benzene) were synthesized and characterized. Their absolute configurations were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction and further verified by circular dichroism (CD) spectra (including electronic circular dichroism [ECD] and vibrational circular dichroism [VCD]). These complexes show interesting mechanoluminescence and/or vapoluminescence due to crystalline‐to‐amorphous transformation. The crystalline solids, grinding‐induced amorphous powders, and vapor‐induced amorphous powders of complexes 2a and 2b were comparatively investigated by solid‐state ECD and VCD spectra. The transformation from crystalline solids to amorphous powders was accompanied by significant variances of the spectral feature in both ECD and VCD spectra.

In order to determine the origin of the bisignate CD spectra of native purple membrane, heterochromophoric analogues containing bacteriorhodopsin regenerated with native all-trans-retinal and retinal analogues were investigated. The data collected for the purple membrane samples containing two different chromophores suggest the additive character of the CD spectra. This conclusion was supported by a series of spectra using 5,6-dihydroretinal and 3-dehydroretinal and by using 33% regenerated PM in buffer and in presence of osmolytes. Our results support the idea of conformational heterogeneity of the chromophores in the bR in the trimer, suggesting that the three bR subunits in the trimer are not conformationally equal, and therefore, the bisignate CD spectrum of bR in the purple membrane occurs rather due to a superposition of the CD spectra from variously distorted bR subunits in the trimer than interchromophoric exciton-coupling interactions. 相似文献

Vacuum ultraviolet circular dichroism spectra are reported for poly(galacturonic acid) solution and film, sodium polygalacturonate solution and film, and calcium polygalacturonate gel. In addition to the positive c.d. band near 208 nm previously observed, we find a pair of higher energy bands at 170 180 nm (negative) and 145 nm (positive). The low energy band, assigned to an carboxyl transition, is blue-shifted upon gelation or film formation. 相似文献

A simple and stereoselective synthesis of a protected 4-(aminomethyl)-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazole cyanoethyl phosphoramidite was developed for the modification of synthetic oligonucleotides. The configuration of the 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety with respect to the deoxyribose was unambiguously determined in ROESY experiments. The aminomethyl group of the triazolyl nucleotide was fully functional in labelling reactions. Furthermore, the hybridization behavior of 5' triazole-terminated oligonucleotide was similar to that of 5' aminohexyl-terminated oligomer with the same sequence. Internal modifications of the oligonucleotide strands resulted in significant decrease of duplex stability. 相似文献
