Bacteriorhodopsin/amphipol complexes: structural and functional properties.

ABSTRACT: The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR) can be kept soluble in its native state for months in the absence of detergent by amphipol (APol) A8-35, an amphiphilic polymer. After an actinic flash, A8-35-complexed BR undergoes a complete photocycle, with kinetics intermediate between that in detergent solution and that in its native membrane. BR/APol complexes form well defined, globular particles comprising a monomer of BR, a complete set of purple membrane lipids, and, in a peripheral distribution, approximately 2 g APol/g BR, arranged in a compact layer. In the absence of free APol, BR/APol particles can autoassociate into small or large ordered fibrils.

Structural and functional properties of mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes revealed through single-cell perturbation and genomic profiling

Project description:Mammalian SWI/SNF (mSWI/SNF or BAF) chromatin remodeling complexes play critical roles in regulating DNA accessibility and gene expression and are comprised of three final-form assemblies, cBAF, PBAF, and ncBAF, which exhibit distinct modular organization, chromatin targeting, and roles in disease. However, the contributions of each subcomplex and their constituent subunits to gene expression remain incompletely defined. Here, we performed a large-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen targeting mSWI/SNF subunits individually and in selected combinations, followed by single-cell RNA-sequencing (Perturb-seq) and SHARE-Seq. We uncover complex- and module-specific contributions across cell regulatory pathways, define paralog subunit relationships, and identify shifted functions upon perturbations. Finally, we superimpose single-cell perturbation signatures over bulk primary human tumor gene expression profiles, defining unique subunit-specific signatures and identifying tumor features that mirror BAF loss-of-function. Taken together, these data highlight the utility of large-scale single-cell genomics to uncover gene expression and chromatin accessibility signatures in human disease states.

Structural and Optical Properties of Metal-Nitrosyl Complexes.

Project description:The electronic, structural and optical properties (including Spin-Orbit Coupling) of metal nitrosyl complexes [M(CN)5(NO)]2- (M = Fe, Ru or Os) are investigated by means of Density Functional Theory, TD-DFT and MS-CASPT2 based on an RASSCF wavefunction. The energy profiles connecting the N-bound (?1-N), O-bound (?1-O) and side-on (?2-NO) conformations have been computed at DFT level for the closed shell singlet electronic state. For each structure, the lowest singlet and triplet states have been optimized in order to gain insight into the energy profiles describing the conformational isomerism in excited states. The energetics of the three complexes are similar-with the N-bound structure being the most stable-with one exception, namely the triplet ground state of the O-bound isomer for the iron complex. The conformation isomerism is highly unfavorable in the S0 electronic state with the occurrence of two energy barriers higher than 2 eV. The lowest bands of the spectra are assigned to MLCTNO/LLCTNO transitions, with an increasing MLCT character going from iron to osmium. Two low-lying triplet states, T1 (MLCTNO/LLCTNO) and T2 (MLCTNO/ILNO), seem to control the lowest energy profile of the excited-state conformational isomerism.

Structural changes in the L photointermediate of bacteriorhodopsin.

Project description:The L to M reaction of the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle includes the crucial proton transfer from the retinal Schiff base to Asp85. In spite of the importance of the L state in deciding central issues of the transport mechanism in this pump, the serious disagreements among the three published crystallographic structures of L have remained unresolved. Here, we report on the X-ray diffraction structure of the L state, to 1.53-1.73 A resolutions, from replicate data sets collected from six independent crystals. Unlike earlier studies, the partial occupancy refinement uses diffraction intensities from the same crystals before and after the illumination to produce the trapped L state. The high reproducibility of inter-atomic distances, and bond angles and torsions of the retinal, lends credibility to the structural model. The photoisomerized 13-cis retinal in L is twisted at the C(13)=C(14) and C(15)=NZ double-bonds, and the Schiff base does not lose its connection to Wat402 and, therefore, to the proton acceptor Asp85. The protonation of Asp85 by the Schiff base in the L-->M reaction is likely to occur, therefore, via Wat402. It is evident from the structure of the L state that various conformational changes involving hydrogen-bonding residues and bound water molecules begin to propagate from the retinal to the protein at this stage already, and in both extracellular and cytoplasmic directions. Their rationales in the transport can be deduced from the way their amplitudes increase in the intermediates that follow L in the reaction cycle, and from the proton transfer reactions with which they are associated.

Cobaltoceniumselenolate Gold(I) Complexes: Synthesis, Spectroscopic, Structural and Anticancer Properties.

Project description:Cobaltoceniumselenolate is an unusual, highly air-sensitive, mesoionic compound containing a very soft anionic selenium donor atom. Here we explore its coordination chemistry with Au(I) metal centers and show that its hetero- and homoleptic gold complexes are highly colored, air-stable compounds, which were characterized by 1H/13C/31P/77Se NMR, IR, UV-Vis, HR-MS and single crystal XRD. Cytotoxicity of these polar, water-soluble complexes was studied against various standard cancer cell lines (A549MDA-MB-231, HT-29) revealing good anticancer activity of all three complexes.

Structural, magnetic and luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes with N-salicylideneglycine.

Project description:A series of anionic heavy lanthanide complexes, involving the N-salicylideneglycinato(2-) Schiff base ligand (salgly) and having the general formula K[Ln(salgly)?(H?O)?]?H?O (1-6), where Ln stands for Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Tm, was prepared using the one-pot template synthesis. The complexes were thoroughly characterized by elemental and Thermogravimetric/Differential Thermal Analyses (TG/DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and photoluminescence spectroscopies, electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry, and their magnetic properties were studied by temperature-dependent dc magnetic measurements using the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The X-ray structure of the terbium(III) complex (2), representing the unique structure between the lanthanide complexes of N-salicylideneamino acids, was determined. The results of spectral and structural studies revealed the isostructural nature of the prepared complexes, in which the lanthanide ion is octacoordinated by two O,N,O-donor salgly ligands and two aqua ligands. The analysis of magnetic data confirmed that the complexes behave as paramagnets obeying the Curie law. The results of photoluminescence spectral studies of the complexes showed the different origin in their luminescent properties between the solid state and solution. An antenna effect of the Schiff base ligand was observed in a powder form of the complex only, while it acts as a fluorophore in a solution.

Bovine β-lactoglobulin/fatty acid complexes: binding, structural, and biological properties.

Project description:Ligand-binding properties of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) are well documented, but the subsequent biological functions are still unclear. Focusing on fatty acids/β-lg complexes, the structure-function relationships are reviewed in the light of the structural state of the protein (native versus non-native aggregated proteins). After a brief description of β-lg native structure, the review takes an interest in the binding properties of native β-lg (localization of binding sites, stoichiometry, and affinity) and the way the interaction affects the biological properties of the protein and the ligand. The binding properties of non-native aggregated forms of β-lg that are classically generated during industrial processing are also related. Structural changes modify the stoichiometry and the affinity of β-lg for fatty acids and consequently the biological functions of the complex. Finally, the fatty acid-binding properties of other whey proteins (α-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin) and some biological properties of the complexes are also addressed. These proteins affect β-lg/fatty acids complex in whey given their competition with β-lg for fatty acids.

Structural and Energetic Properties of Haloacetonitrile - GeF<sub>4</sub> Complexes.

Project description:The 1:1 and 2:1 complexes of FCH2CN and ClCH2CN with GeF4 have been investigated by M06/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations, low-temperature, thin-film IR spectroscopy, and an x-ray structure has been obtained for (FCH2CN)2-GeF4. Theoretical structures and binding energies for FCH2CN-GeF4 and ClCH2CN-GeF4 demonstrate that halogen substitution significantly weakens the Ge-N dative bonds. The Ge-N distances for the F-and Cl-complexes (2.447 and 2.407 Å, respectively) are about 0.2 Å longer than in CH3CN-GeF4, and the binding energies (6.5 and 6.9 kcal/mol) are 2 to 3 kcal/mol less. Furthermore, the Ge-N potential curves are flatter for the halogenated complexes, exhibit a greater response to dielectric media, and thus these systems are more prone to structural change in condensed-phases. For the 2:1 complexes, experimental and theoretical structure and frequency data are consistent with differences in the (calculated) gas-phase and solid-state structures. For (FCH2CN)2-GeF4 the calculated gas-phase structure has Ge-N distances about 0.3 Å longer those in the x-ray structure (2.366 Å vs. 2.059 Å (ave)). Also, low-temperature IR spectra of CH3CN/GeF4, FCH2CN/GeF4, and ClCH2CN/GeF4 thin films are consistent with the presence of 2:1 nitrile:GeF4 complexes, and the splitting patterns of the GeF-stretching bands (~700 cm-1) match predictions for the corresponding complexes, but are red-shifted relative to the gas-phase predictions, and reflect Ge-N bonds that are compressed in the solid-state, relative to predicted gas-phase structures.

Structural, Spectroscopic, Electrochemical, and Magnetic Properties for Manganese(II) Triazamacrocyclic Complexes.

Project description:We report the synthesis of [Mn(tacud)2](OTf)2 (1) (tacud = 1,4,8-triazacycloundecane), [Mn(tacd)2](OTf)2 (2) (tacd = 1,4,7-triazacyclodecane), and [Mn(tacn)2](OTf)2 (3) (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane). Electrochemical measurements on the MnIII/II redox couple show that complex 1 has the largest anodic potential of the set (E 1/2 = 1.16 V vs NHE, ΔE p = 106 mV) compared to 2 (E 1/2 = 0.95 V, ΔE p = 108 mV) and 3 (E 1/2 = 0.93 V, ΔE p = 96 mV). This is due to the fact that 1 has the fewest 5-membered chelate rings and thus is least stabilized. Magnetic studies of 1-3 revealed that all complexes remain high spin throughout the temperature range investigated (2 - 300 K). X-band EPR investigations in methanol glass indicated that the manganese(II) centers for 2 and 3 resided in a more distorted octahedral geometric configuration compared to 1. To ease spectral interpretation and extract ZFS parameters, we performed high-frequency high-field EPR (HFEPR) at frequencies above 200 GHz and a field of 7.5 T. Simulation of the spectral data yielded g = 2.0013 and D = -0.031 cm-1 for 1, g = 2.0008, D = -0.0824 cm-1, |E/D| = 0.12 for 2, and g = 2.00028, D = -0.0884 cm-1 for 3. These results are consistent with 3 possessing the most distorted geometry. Calculations (PBE0/6-31G(d)) were performed on 1-3. Results show that 1 has the largest HOMO-LUMO gap energy (6.37 eV) compared to 2 (6.12 eV) and 3 (6.26 eV). Complex 1 also has the lowest HOMO energies indicating higher stability.

Preparation and Structural Properties of In<sup>III</sup>-H Complexes.

Project description:The use of the tripodal ligands tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethyl]aminato ([H3buea]3-) and the sulfonamide-based N,N',N"-[2,2',2"-nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)]tris(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-sulfonamidato) ([MST]3-) has led to the synthesis of two structurally distinct In(III)-OH complexes. The first example of a five-coordinate indium(III) complex with a terminal hydroxide ligand, K[InIIIH3buea(OH)], was prepared by addition of In(OAc)3 and water to a deprotonated solution of H6buea. X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopic methods, provided evidence for the formation of a monomeric In(III)-OH complex. The complex contains an intramolecular hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) network involving the In(III)-OH unit and [H3buea]3- ligand, which aided in isolation of the complex. Isotope labeling studies verified the source of the hydroxo ligand as water. Treatment of the [InIIIMST] complex with a mixture of 15-crown-5 ether and NaOH led to isolation of the complex [15-crown-5⊃NaI-(μ-OH)-InIIIMST], whose solid-state structure was confirmed using X-ray diffraction methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies on this complex suggest it retains its heterobimetallic structure in solution.

Identification of Specific Effect of Chloride on the Spectral Properties and Structural Stability of Multiple Extracellular Glutamic Acid Mutants of Bacteriorhodopsin.

Project description:In the present work we combine spectroscopic, DSC and computational approaches to examine the multiple extracellular Glu mutants E204Q/E194Q, E204Q/E194Q/E9Q and E204Q/E194Q/E9Q/E74Q of bacteriorhodopsin by varying solvent ionic strength and composition. Absorption spectroscopy data reveal that the absorption maxima of multiple EC Glu mutants can be tuned by the chloride concentration in the solution. Visible Circular dichroism spectra imply that the specific binding of Cl- can modulate weakened exciton chromophore coupling and reestablish wild type-like bilobe spectral features of the mutants. The DSC data display reappearance of the reversible thermal transition, higher Tm of denaturation and an increase in the enthalpy of unfolding of the mutants in 1 M KCl solutions. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate high affinity binding of Cl- to Arg82 and to Gln204 and Gln194 residues in the mutants. Analysis of the experimental data suggests that simultaneous elimination of the negatively charged side chain of Glu194 and Glu204 is the major cause for mutants' alterations. Specific Cl- binding efficiently coordinates distorted hydrogen bonding interactions of the EC region and reconstitutes the conformation and structure stability of mutated bR in WT-like fashion.
