Deuterated oleates have been synthesized by semihydrogenation of acetylenic intermediates. [11-2H2]Oleate was prepared by two-carbon chain extension of the C16 alcohol obtained from [1-2H2]octyl bromide and 7-octyn-1-ol. [8-2H2] and [7-2H2]oleates were both prepared from dimethyl suberate, tetradeutero intermediate C16 alcohols were synthesized from [1,8-2H4] and [2,7-2H4]octane diols by monobromination, conversion to deuterated 9-decyn-1-ols and reaction with octyl bromide. Oxidation gave [8-2H2]-9-octadecynoate and [2,7-2H2]-9-octadecynoate, after semihydrogenation of the latter, deuterons at C-2 were removed by exchange with aqueous alkali. [6-2H2] and [5-2H2]oleates were obtained from methyl 5-tetradecynoate, semihydrogenation, deuterium exchange at C-2 and two malonate extensions gave [6-2H2]oleate; reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride, two malonate extensions and semihydrogenation gave the [5-2H2] ester. [4-2H2] and [3-2H2]oleates were both obtained from methyl 7-cis-hexadecenoate, exchange of the α protons and chain extension gave the [4-2H2] ester and reduction with lithium aluminum deuteride and chain extension gave the [3-2H2] ester. 相似文献

CISD2, an ER BCL2-associated autophagy regulator also known as NAF-1, is responsible for the human degenerative disorder Wolfram Syndrome 2. In order to interrogate the physiological role of CISD2 we generated and characterized the Cisd2 gene deletion in mice. Cisd2 null mice manifest significant degeneration in skeletal muscle tissues, which is accompanied with augmented autophagy, dysregulated Ca2+ homeostasis and elongated mitochondria. Our findings describe a novel role for BCL2-CISD2 in the homeostatic maintenance of skeletal muscle. It remains to be elucidated how and if the antagonism of the BECN1 autophagy-initiating complex and modulation of ER Ca2+ homeostasis by BCL2-CISD2 are interconnected. 相似文献

We present procedures for nucleoside and oligonucleotide synthesis, binding affinity (Tm) and structural analysis (CD spectra) of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-alpha-D-ribofuranosyl and 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-beta-D-ribofuranosyl oligothymidylates. Possible reasons for the thermal instability of duplexes formed between these compounds and RNA or DNA targets are discussed. 相似文献

2'-Amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-chloro-2'-deoxycoformycin (2'-CldCF) are two nucleoside antibiotics produced by Actinomadura. The biosynthesis of these two nucleoside antibiotics has been studied by the addition of [U-14C]adenosine with or without unlabeled adenine to cultures of Actinomadura. By this experimental approach, it is possible to demonstrate that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF. These conclusions are based on the observation that the percentage distribution of 14C in the aglyconic and pentofuranosyl moieties of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF were similar to the distribution of 14C in the adenine and ribosyl moieties of the [U-14C]adenosine (i.e., 48:52) added to cultures of Actinomadura. Experimentally, the percentage distribution of 14C in the (i) adenine:2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranose of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine is 51:49; (ii) 8-(R)-3,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]-[1,3-diazepin-8-o1]:2 -chloro-2- beta-D-ribofuranose of 2'-CldCF is 45:55; and (iii) adenine:ribose of the adenosine isolated from the RNA of Actinomadura is 42:58. Further proof that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF was demonstrated by the addition of 75 mumol of unlabeled adenine together with [U-14C]adenosine to nucleoside-producing cultures of Actinomadura. The percentage distribution of 14C in the aglycon and the sugar moieties of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-CldCF were 46:54 and 47:53, respectively; the percentage distribution of 14C in the adenine and ribose moieties of the adenosine isolated from the RNA of Actinomadura was 51:49. These data show that the hydroxyl on C-2' of the ribosyl moiety of adenosine undergoes a replacement by a 2'-amino or a 2'-chloro group to form 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine or 2'-CldCF with retention of stereconfiguration at C-2'. Finally, Actinomadura can utilize inorganic chloride from the medium as demonstrated by the isolation of [36Cl]2'-CldCF following the addition of [36Cl]chloride to the culture medium. Mechanisms for the regioselective modification of the C-2' hydroxyl group and stereospecific insertion of the amino and chloro groups are discussed. 相似文献

An overview of structurally characterized alpha-hydroxycarboxylatodioxo- and alpha-hydroxycarboxylatooxoperoxovanadates(V) is presented and the geometric parameters of the V2O2 bridging core are discussed. The first case of a stereospecific formation of oxoperoxovanadates(V) is reported: The crystal structures of the isomeric compounds (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(L-lact)2] x 2H2O and (NBu4)2[V2O2(O2)2(D-lact)(L-lact)] x 2H2O (lact = C3H4O3(2-), the anion of the lactic acid) differ mainly in the arrangement of the V2O2 core and in mutual orientation of the V=O bonds. The complexes with achiral ligands adopt the same structural type as the complexes formed from a racemic mixture of a chiral ligand, while the structure obtained using an enantiopure L,L-hydroxycarboxylate is different. 相似文献

Treatment of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannono-1,4-lactone with dicyclohexylamine in ethanolic solution afforded an unsaturated 1,4-lactone, 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-enono-1,4-lactone (1), in good yield. 2-Acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-threo-hex-2-enono-1,4-lactone (2) was similarly prepared from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactono-1,4-lactone. An unsaturated 1,5-lactone, 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-threo-hex-2-enono-1,5-lactone (4), was obtained through the oxidation of 2-acetamido-2-doexy-4,6-0-isopropylidene-D-galactopyranose with silver carbonate on Celite, followed by mild hydrolysis. The inhibitory activity of four isomeric 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-hex-2-enonolactones [1, 2, 4, and 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-enono-1,5-lactone (3)] was assayed against 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucosidase from bull epididymis. Only the erythro lactones 1 and 3 are weak competitive inhibitors, whereas the threo lactones 2 and 4 are practically inactive. The 1,4-lactone 1 inhibited 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucosidase more strongly than the 1,5-lactone 3. The lactones 1-4 were found to be quite stable in aqueous solution or under inhibitory-assay conditions. In addition, two 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glycals, 2-acetamido-1,5-anhydrohex-1-enitol (7) were tested; both are 10 times as active as 1. 相似文献

A convenient synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from commercially available 2-fluoroadenine is described. The coupling reaction of silylated 2-fluoroadenine with phenyl 3,5-bis[O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)]-2-deoxy-1-thio-D-erythro-pentofuranoside gave the corresponding 2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine derivative (alpha/beta = 1:1) in good yield. The alpha- and beta-anomers were separated by chromatography, and then desilylated to give compounds 1a and 1b. 相似文献

4-nitrophenyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-alpha- and beta-D-mannopyranosides were prepared from methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose, respectively. Chemoselective reduction of both azides with hydrogen sulfide readily afforded 4-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D- and -beta-D-mannopyranosides in higher yields than reduction with triphenylphosphine or a polymer-supported triarylphosphine. Subsequent de-O-acetylation yielded 4-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-mannopyranoside and 4-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-mannopyranoside in 20% and 44% overall yields, respectively. 相似文献

Resolution of (2RS,3RS)-2-[alpha-(2-methoxymethoxyphenoxy)phenylmethyl]morpholine, 11, with (+) mandelic acid led to the formation of (+)-(2S,3S)-2-[alpha-(2-methoxymethoxyphenoxy)phenyl methyl] morpholine (11a). Compound 11 was synthesized in seven steps from (2RS,3RS)-cinnamyl alcohol-2,3-epoxide (4), with an overall yield of 17%. Cleavage of the methoxymethyl group of the Fmoc derivative 12 with catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol afforded (+)-(2S,3S)-2-(2-morpholin-2-yl-2-phenylmethoxy)phenol 2. The synthetic utility as well as the configuration of compound 2 has been demonstrated by converting (S,S)-2-(2-morpholin-2-yl-2-phenylmethoxy)phenol 2 to (2S,3S)-2-[alpha-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)phenylmethyl]morpholine (1) and (2S,3S)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy) benzyl)morpholine (16), two potential norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors under clinical evaluation. 相似文献

A new method for the synthesis of 2'-O-methyl-2-thiouridine (s2Um) found in thermophilic bacterial tRNA was developed. Structural properties of s2Um and s2Um(p)U were studied by using 1H NMR spectroscopy. A modified nonaribonucleotide (RNA*: 5'-CGUUs2UmUUGC-3') was synthesized to study the base-recognition ability of s2Um in formation of RNA-RNA and RNA DNA duplexes. The UV melting experiments revealed that RNA*-RNA and RNA*-DNA duplexes having an s2U-A base pair are more stable than those having a U-A base pair. On the contrary, the thermal stability of RNA*-RNA and RNA*-DNA duplexes having an s2U-G wobble base pair was much lower than that of the unmodified duplexes having a natural U-G base pair. It is concluded that s2Um has higher selectivity toward A over G than unmodified U. 相似文献

Serological characterization of three K-S interval recombinant strains, TBR2 (H-2at2), TBR3 (H-2at3) and AIR 1 (H-2a2) was performed using anti-H-2, Ia, Ss and Slp antisera. The data presented here reveal that the crossover events in both TBR2 and TBR3 occurred between the I-A and I-E subregions. In both cases, the H-2K and I-A subregions were derived fron the H-2t1 of chromosome, while the I-E, S and H-2D regions were derived from the H-2b chromosome (KsAkEbSbDb). The H-2a2 chromosome resulted from a crossover event between the H-2a1 and H-2i9 chromosomes. Ia and Ss typing of AIR 1 suggested that the K to I-E regions originated from H-2a1 and the S and D regions originated from H-2i9 (KkAkEkSbDd). 相似文献

Duox2 (and probably Duox1) is a glycoflavoprotein involved in thyroid hormone biosynthesis, as the thyroid H2O2 generator functionally associated with Tpo (thyroperoxidase). So far, because of the impairment of maturation and of the targeting process, transfecting DUOX into nonthyroid cell lines has not led to the expression of a functional H2O2-generating system at the plasma membrane. For the first time, we investigated the H2O2-generating activity in the particulate fractions from DUOX2- and DUOX1-transfected HEK293 and Chinese hamster ovary cells. The particulate fractions of these cells stably or transiently transfected with human or porcine DUOX cDNA demonstrate a functional NADPH/Ca2+-dependent H2O2-generating activity. The immature Duox proteins had less activity than pig thyrocyte particulate fractions, and their activity depended on their primary structures. Human Duox2 seemed to be more active than human Duox1 but only half as active as its porcine counterpart. TPO co-transfection produced a slight increase in the enzymatic activity, whereas p22(phox), the 22-kDa subunit of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase, had no effect. In previous studies on the mechanism of H2O2 formation, it was shown that mature thyroid NADPH oxidase does not release O2*- but H2O2. Using a spin-trapping technique combined with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we confirmed this result but also demonstrated that the partially glycosylated form of Duox2, located in the endoplasmic reticulum, generates superoxide in a calcium-dependent manner. These results suggest that post-translational modifications during the maturation process of Duox2 could be implicated in the mechanism of H2O2 formation by favoring intramolecular superoxide dismutation. 相似文献

Under pathological conditions such as ischemia-reperfusion, Nrf2 acts as a key regulator of cellular oxidative response. Provided that Nrf2 is sensitive to hypoxia during ischemia, Nrf2 may affect reactive oxygen species metabolism during reoxygenation. In this study, hypoxia suppressed Nrf2 protein, and its hypoxic suppression was not recovered with knockdown of the Nrf2 repressor Keap1. Moreover, an Nrf2 mutant lacking the Keap1 binding domain was suppressed under hypoxia, suggesting that Keap1 does not contribute to hypoxic Nrf2 suppression. HIF-1α and Siah2 are both key regulators of hypoxic responses. Hypoxia induced the Siah2 protein. Although inhibition or knockdown of Siah2 prevented the suppression of Nrf2, knockdown of HIF-1α did not. Moreover, Siah2 interacted with Nrf2 through a binding motif, suggesting that Siah2 contributes to the suppression of Nrf2. Some cytosolic kinases also play important roles in Nrf2 regulation. In this study, PKC phosphorylates serine residues of Nrf2 during hypoxia. Knockdown of Siah2 rescued hypoxic decreases in an Nrf2 mutant that mimicked phosphorylation at serine 40 or lacked this phosphorylation site, suggesting that Siah2 contributes to the degradation of Nrf2 irrespective of its phosphorylation status. Moreover, knockdown of Siah2 attenuated ubiquitination of the Nrf2 mutant, suggesting that association of Siah2 with Nrf2 causes proteasome-mediated degradation of Nrf2. 相似文献

Benzyl 2-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methylamino]-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranoside (10) and its furanose isomer (9), the derived N-methyloxazolidinones 11 and 6, benzyl 2-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)methylamino]-2-deoxy-β-D-glucofuranoside (15) and methyl 2-deoxy-2-methylacetamido-β-D-galactofuranoside (20), were prepared from appropriate diethyl dithioacetals. They were considered the most suitable starting materials for synthesis of O-methyl-2-deoxy-2-methylamino-hexoses because of their ease of preparation and the presence of suitable blocking groups. Oxazolidinones were prepared from N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannose by using methanolic sodium methoxide. Their use in preparation of 2-deoxy-2-methyl-amino derivatives is discussed. The Kuhn reagent was used in these syntheses for N-methylating amides. However, certain amides containing comparatively bulky substituents in the vicinity of the NH group are resistant to methylation. 相似文献

Complexes formed by reduced glutathione (GSH) with metal cations (Cr2+, Mn2+,Fe2+,Co2+,Ni2+,Cu2+,Zn2+,Cd2+,Hg2+) were systematically investigated by the density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that the interactions of the metal cations with GSH resulted in nine different stable complexes and many factors had an effect on the binding energy. Generally, for the same period of metal ions, the binding energies ranked in the order of Cu2+>Ni2+>Co2+>Fe2+>Cr2+>Zn2+>Mn2+; and for the same group of metal ions, the general trend of binding energies was Zn2+>Hg2+>Cd2+. Moreover, the amounts of charge transferred from S or N to transition metal cations are greater than that of O atoms. For Fe2+,Co2+,Ni2+,Cu2+,Zn2+,Cd2+ and Hg2+ complexes, the values of the Wiberg bond indices (WBIs) of M-S (M denotes metal cations) were larger than that of M-N and M-O; for Cr2+ complexes, most of the WBIs of M-O in complexes were higher than that of M-S and M-N. Furthermore, the changes in the electron configuration of the metal cations before and after chelate reaction revealed that Cu2+, Ni2+,Co2+ and Hg2+ had obvious tendencies to be reduced to Cu+,Ni+,Co+ and Hg+ during the coordination process. 相似文献

Ca2+ regulation of thyroid NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A thyroid particulate fraction contains an NADPH-dependent H2O2-generating enzyme which requires Ca2+ for activity. A Chaps solubilized extract of the thyroid particulate fraction partially purified by DEAE chromatography did not show a dependence on Ca2+ for activity. Preincubation of the particulate fraction with Ca2+ yielded a preparation insensitive to Ca2+. The non-particulate fraction obtained after incubation of the particles in the presence of Ca2+ was able to inhibit, in the presence of EGTA, the Ca2+-desensitized particulate fraction and the enzyme isolated on DEAE. It is concluded that the reversible Ca2+ activation of the NADPH-dependent H2O2 generation was modulated in porcine thyroid tissue by (a) calcium-releasable inhibitor protein(s). 相似文献

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Klebsiella serotype O2 is antigenically heterogeneous; some strains express multiple antigenic factors. To study this heterogeneity, we determined the structure of the O-antigen polysaccharides in isolates belonging to serotypes O2(2a), O2(2a,2b), and O2(2a,2c), by using composition analysis, methylation analysis, and both 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The repeating unit structure of the 2a polysaccharide was identified as the disaccharide [----3)-beta-D-Galf-(1----3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----] and was identical to D-galactan I, one of two O polysaccharides present in the LPS of Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O1 (C. Whitfield, J. C. Richards, M. B. Perry, B. R. Clarke, and L. L. MacLean, J. Bacteriol. 173:1420-1431, 1991). LPS from serotype O2(2a,2b) also contained D-galactan I as the only O polysaccharide, suggesting that the 2b antigen is not an O antigen. The LPS of serotype O2(2a,2c) contained a mixture of two structurally distinct O polysaccharides and provides a second example of this phenomenon in Klebsiella spp. One polymer was identical to D-galactan I, and the other polysaccharide, the 2c antigen, was a polymer with a disaccharide repeating unit structure, [----3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----5)-beta-D-Galf-(1----]. The 2c structure does not resemble previously reported O polysaccharides from Klebsiella spp. Periodate oxidation confirmed that D-galactan I and the 2c polysaccharide are distinct glycans, rather than representing domains within a single polysaccharide chain. Monoclonal antibodies against the 2c antigen indicated that only LPS molecules with the longest O-polysaccharide chains contained the 2c epitope. 相似文献

A class of helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins, including E2A (E12 and E47), E2-2, and HEB, that bind in vitro to DNA sequences present in the immunoglobulin (Ig) enhancers has recently been identified. E12, E47, E2-2, and HEB are each present in B cells. The presence of many different HLH proteins raises the question of which of the HLH proteins actually binds the Ig enhancer elements in B cells. Using monoclonal antibodies specific for both E2A and E2-2, we show that both E2-2 and E2A polypeptides are present in B-cell-specific Ig enhancer-binding complexes. E2-box-binding complexes in pre-B cells contain both E2-2 and E2A HLH subunits, whereas in mature B cells only E2A gene products are present. We show that the difference in E2-box-binding complexes in pre-B and mature B cells may be caused by differential expression of E2A and E2-2. 相似文献
