A superprotein triangle driven by nickel(II) coordination: exploiting non-natural metal ligands in protein self-assembly.

ABSTRACT: We previously devised a strategy (metal-directed protein self-assembly, MDPSA) that utilizes the simultaneous stability, lability, and directionality of metal-ligand bonds to drive protein-protein interactions. Here we show that both the structural and functional scopes of MDPSA can be broadened by incorporation of non-natural metal-chelating ligands onto protein surfaces. A cytochrome cb(562) variant, MBP-Phen1, which features a covalently attached phenanthroline (Phen) group on its surface, self-assembles into an unusual triangular architecture (Ni(3):MBP-Phen1(3)) upon binding Ni as a result of specific Phen-protein interactions. The crystal structure of Ni(3):MBP-Phen1(3) reveals that the Phen group is buried in a small pocket on the protein surface, which results in an unsaturated Ni coordination environment.

Exploiting Coordination Isomerism for Controlled Self-Assembly.

Project description:We exploited the inherent geometrical isomerism of a PtII complex as a new tool to control supramolecular assembly processes. UV irradiation and careful selection of solvent, temperature, and concentration leads to tunable coordination isomerism, which in turn allows fully reversible switching between two distinct aggregate species (1D fibers↔2D lamellae) with different photoresponsive behavior. Our findings not only broaden the scope of coordination isomerism, but also open up exciting possibilities for the development of novel stimuli-responsive nanomaterials.

Construction of coordination-driven self-assembled [5 + 5] pentagons using metal-carbonyl dipyridine ligands.

Project description:The coordination-driven self-assembly of two metal-carbonyl-cluster-coordinated dipyridyl donors, (4-C(5)H(4)N)(2)C[triple bond]CCo(2)(CO)(6) (1) and (4-C(5)H(4)N)(2)C[triple bond]CMo(2)Cp(2)(CO)(4) (2), with a linear diplatinum(II) acceptor ligand was investigated. The structures of the resulting self-assembled polygons were found to be controlled by the steric bulk of the metal-carbonyl cluster adduct. The use of a sterically less imposing ligand 1 resulted in a pentagon-hexagon mixture, which was characterized by electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. The exclusive formation of a [5 + 5] pentagon was achieved by the self-assembly of the bulkier molybdenum donor ligand 2 with a linear organoplatinum(II) acceptor ligand. Molecular force field modeling was used to study the structural details of the pentagonal and hexagonal architectures. The first Fe(3)-Co(6)-Pt(6) trimetal [3 + 3] hexagon was also synthesized via the combination of 1 with a 120 degrees ferrocenyldiplatinum(II) acceptor.

Coordination Driven Self-Assembly and Anticancer Activity of Molecular Rectangles Containing Octahedral Ruthenium Metal Centers.

Project description:The synthesis of new 2+2 metalla-rectangles via coordination driven self-assembly of octahedral Ru(II) based acceptors and amide donors is described. To evaluate their in vitro cytotoxic properties, preliminary biological assays were carried out for various human cancer cell lines, and our results show that the cytotoxicity level of 3 is comparable or even greater in the cases of SK-hep-1 and HCT-15 than that of the reference drug cisplatin.

Multicomponent supramolecular systems: self-organization in coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:The self-organization of multicomponent supramolecular systems involving a variety of two-dimensional (2 D) polygons and three-dimensional (3 D) cages is presented. Nine self-organizing systems, SS(1)-SS(9), have been studied. Each involves the simultaneous mixing of organoplatinum acceptors and pyridyl donors of varying geometry and their selective self-assembly into three to four specific 2 D (rectangular, triangular, and rhomboid) and/or 3 D (triangular prism and distorted and nondistorted trigonal bipyramidal) supramolecules. The formation of these discrete structures is characterized using NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In all cases, the self-organization process is directed by: 1) the geometric information encoded within the molecular subunits and 2) a thermodynamically driven dynamic self-correction process. The result is the selective self-assembly of multiple discrete products from a randomly formed complex. The influence of key experimental variables--temperature and solvent--on the self-correction process and the fidelity of the resulting self-organization systems is also described.

Construction of multifunctional cuboctahedra via coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:We present a general strategy for the synthesis of stable, multifunctional cuboctahedral complexes in which coordination-driven self-assembly allows for precise control over positioning of either ferrocene or crown ether functionalities. The appropriate stoichiometric combination of functionalized 120 degree diplatinum acceptor units with tritopic donor units afforded supramolecular cuboctahedra with covalently linked functional groups. The compounds are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry.

Coordination-driven self-assembly of three-dimensional supramolecular dendrimers.

Project description:The design and synthesis of novel three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular dendrimers is described. The coordination-driven self-assembly of a 120 degrees diplatinum acceptor and tritopic pyridyl donors bearing [G-0]-[G-3] Fréchet-type dendrons results in a series of supramolecular dendrimers under mild conditions, possessing a robust adamantanoid core of well-defined shape and size. The assemblies were identified using multinuclear ((31)P and (1)H) NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, as well as pulsed-field-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR measurement together with computational simulations. Isotopically resolved mass spectral data support the existence of the [6 + 4] assembly of adamantanoid dendrimers, and the NMR results are consistent with the formation of these symmetrical assemblies. PGSE NMR measurements together with MMFF force-field modeling clearly reveal the structural feature of the 3-D supramolecular dendrimers with varying sizes.

Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly of Triazole-Based Apoptosis-Inducible Metallomacrocycles.

Project description:Ru(II)-metallomacrocycles containing 4-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole moiety were realized by coordination-driven self-assembly. All new compounds were characterized by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure of metallomacrocycle 8 was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The anticancer activities of metallomacrocycles 5-8 were evaluated by cytotoxicity, cell cycle analysis, and related protein expression. Metallomacrocycle 7 showed the highest cytotoxicity in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In addition, apoptotic HepG2 cells were analyzed when metallomacrocycle 7 was treated. Our results suggest that metallomacrocycle 7 induces liver cancer cell death by increasing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest and that it has potential use as an agent for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Self-assembly of polycyclic supramolecules using linear metal-organic ligands.

Project description:Coordination-driven self-assembly as a bottom-up approach has witnessed a rapid growth in building giant structures in the past few decades. Challenges still remain, however, within the construction of giant architectures in terms of high efficiency and complexity from simple building blocks. Inspired by the features of DNA and protein, which both have specific sequences, we herein design a series of linear building blocks with specific sequences through the coordination between terpyridine ligands and Ru(II). Different generations of polycyclic supramolecules (C1 to C5) with increasing complexity are obtained through the self-assembly with Cd(II), Fe(II) or Zn(II). The assembled structures are characterized via multi-dimensional mass spectrometry analysis as well as multi-dimensional and multinuclear NMR (1H, COSY, NOESY) analysis. Moreover, the largest two cycles C4 and C5 hierarchically assemble into ordered nanoscale structures on a graphite based on their precisely-controlled shapes and sizes with high shape-persistence.

Introduction of heterofunctional groups onto molecular hexagons via coordination-driven self-assembly.

Project description:The design and synthesis of two new heterofunctional hexagons containing both redox-active ferrocenyl and host-guest crown ether functionalities has been achieved via coordination-driven self-assembly. The size and relative distribution of functional groups on the supramolecular metallacycles can be precisely controlled. The host-guest recognition properties of the crown ether moieties and their ability to complex cationic guests to form tris[2]pseudorotaxane complexes have been investigated. The electronic properties of the ferrocenyl moieties have been obtained through electrochemical studies. The functional moieties are shown to operate orthogonally, resulting in discrete supramolecular hexagons that are capable of carrying out a variety of functions both simultaneously and independently.

Second-order self-organization in coordination-driven self-assembly: exploring the limits of self-selection.

Project description:Self-organization during the self-assembly of a series of functionalized bispyridyl organic donors with complementary di-Pt(II) acceptors into supramolecular rhomboids and rectangles is explored. The connectivity and location of functional groups on the organic donors ensures that they do not interfere sterically or electronically with their respective binding sites. Carefully controlled reaction conditions are employed so that the only means of self-organization during self-assembly is through "second-order" effects arising from the distal functional groups themselves. With the selection of functionalized systems studied, the extent of second-order self-organization varies from essentially zero to quite pronounced.
