Crystal structures of three (trichloromethyl)(carbamoyl)disulfanes.

ABSTRACT: The present paper reports crystallographic studies on three related compounds that were of inter-est as precursors for synthetic and mechanistic work in organosulfur chemistry, as well as to model nitro-gen-protecting groups: (N-methyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C3H4Cl3NOS2, (1), (N-benzyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (2), and (N-methyl-N-phenyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (3). Their mol-ecular structures, with similar bond lengths and angles for the CCl3SS(C=O)N moieties, are confirmed. Compounds (1) and (3) both crystallized with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Classical hydrogen bonding, as well as chlorine-dense regions, are evident in the crystal packing for (1) and (2). In the crystal of (1), mol-ecules are linked via N-H?O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [110], which are linked by short Cl?Cl and S?O contacts forming sheets parallel to (001). In the crystal of (2), mol-ecules are linked via N-H?O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [001], which in turn are linked by pairs of short O?Cl contacts forming ribbons along the c-axis direction. In the crystal of (3), there are no classical hydrogen bonds present and the chlorine-dense regions observed in (1) and (2) are lacking.

Project description:Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) is an essential enzyme that is recognizably conserved across all forms of life. It is responsible for activating and attaching tryptophan to a cognate tRNA(Trp) molecule for use in protein synthesis. In some eukaryotes this original core function has been supplemented or modified through the addition of extra domains or the expression of variant TrpRS isoforms. The three TrpRS structures from pathogenic protozoa described here represent three illustrations of this malleability in eukaryotes. The Cryptosporidium parvum genome contains a single TrpRS gene, which codes for an N-terminal domain of uncertain function in addition to the conserved core TrpRS domains. Sequence analysis indicates that this extra domain, conserved among several apicomplexans, is related to the editing domain of some AlaRS and ThrRS. The C. parvum enzyme remains fully active in charging tRNA(Trp) after truncation of this extra domain. The crystal structure of the active, truncated enzyme is presented here at 2.4Å resolution. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains separate cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms of TrpRS that have diverged in their respective tRNA recognition domains. The crystal structure of the T. brucei cytosolic isoform is presented here at 2.8Å resolution. The Entamoeba histolytica genome contains three sequences that appear to be TrpRS homologs. However one of these, whose structure is presented here at 3.0Å resolution, has lost the active site motifs characteristic of the Class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalytic domain while retaining the conserved features of a fully formed tRNA(Trp) recognition domain. The biological function of this variant E. histolytica TrpRS remains unknown, but, on the basis of a completely conserved tRNA recognition region and evidence for ATP but not tryptophan binding, it is tempting to speculate that it may perform an editing function. Together with a previously reported structure of an unusual TrpRS from Giardia, these protozoan structures broaden our perspective on the extent of structural variation found in eukaryotic TrpRS homologs.

The metallacryptand portions are comprised of an Al-N-O repeat unit; thus, they can be considered three-dimensional metallacrowns. The encapsulated Ln III ions are nine-coordinate with a spherical capped-square-anti-prism geometry, while the six AlIII ions are all octa-hedral. Four of the AlIII ions are chiral centers with 2 Δ and 2 Λ stereoconfigurations. The remaining two AlIII ions have trans chelate rings from two different shi3- ligands. For 1-3, a section of the main mol-ecule is disordered induced by the presence or absence of a pyridine ligand coordinated to one of the AlIII ions. In the absence of the pyridine moiety, an H2shi- ligand moves into the space otherwise occupied by the pyridine and the phenol oxygen atom coordinates to the AlIII ion. The movement of the H2shi- ligand induces movement for the Ln III ion, for another AlIII ion that also binds the same H2shi- ligand, and for one of the shi3- ligands coordinated to the latter AlIII ion. For 1-3 the occupancy ratio of the metallacryptand portions refined to 0.8550 (13):0.1450 (13), to 0.8909 (13):0.1091 (13), and to 0.8181 (14):0.1819 (14), respectively.
