Z-Selective Dienylation Enables Stereodivergent Construction of Dienes and Unravels a Ligand-Driven Mechanistic Dichotomy.

ABSTRACT: Development of stereoselective and efficient reactions for construction of conjugated dienes and polyenes has remained at the forefront of organic chemistry, due to their key roles in medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, and materials science. The synthesis of conjugated dienes and polyenes is typically accomplished in a multistep manner by sequential installation of individual C=C bonds because it allows for control of stereoselectivity and efficiency of formation of each double bond. A conceptually distinct dienylation approach entails a stereoselective appendage of a four-carbon unit, shortcutting diene synthesis. Dienylation with sulfolene provided a direct route to E-dienes, but the synthesis of substantially more challenging Z-dienes remained elusive. Here, we report that a highly Z-selective dienylation can be now achieved by a simple adjustment of a ligand, enabling stereodivergent synthesis of E- and Z-dienes from one reagent and in one step. A detailed mechanistic investigation of the E- and Z-selective dienylation provided insight into the divergent behavior of the two catalytic systems and revealed that differences in relative stabilities of catalytically active palladium phosphine complexes have a major impact on the stereochemical outcomes of the dienylation.

Soft propargylic deprotonation: designed ligand enables Au-catalyzed isomerization of alkynes to 1,3-dienes.

Project description:By functionalizing the privileged biphenyl-2-ylphosphine with a basic amino group at the rarely explored 3' position, the derived gold(I) complex possesses orthogonally positioned "push" and "pull" forces, which enable for the first time soft propargylic deprotonation and permit the bridging of a difference of >26 pK(a) units (in DMSO) between a propargylic hydrogen and a protonated tertiary aniline. The application of this design led to efficient isomerization of alkynes into versatile 1,3-dienes with synthetically useful scope under mild reaction conditions.

Mechanistic interpretation of selective catalytic hydrogenation and isomerization of alkenes and dienes by ligand deactivated Pd nanoparticles.

Project description:Unsupported thiolate-capped palladium nanoparticle catalysts are found to be highly substrate-selective for alkene hydrogenation and isomerization. Steric and poisoning effects from thiolate ligands on the nanoparticle surface control reactivity and selectivity by influencing alkene adsorption and directing either di-σ or mono-σ bond formation. The presence of overlapping p orbitals and α protons in alkenes greatly influences the catalytic properties of deactivated palladium nanoparticles leading to easily predictable hydrogenation or isomerization products.

The flexibility-complementarity dichotomy in receptor-ligand interactions.

Project description:Synthetic supramolecular complexes provide an opportunity for quantitative systematic exploration of the relationship between chemical structure and molecular recognition phenomena. A family of closely related zinc porphyrin-pyridine complexes was used to examine the interplay of conformational flexibility and geometric complementarity in determining the selectivity of molecular recognition events. The association constants of 48 zinc porphyrin-pyridine complexes were measured in two different solvents, toluene and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE). These association constants were used to construct 32 chemical double mutant cycles to dissect the free energy contributions of intramolecular H-bonds between the phenol side arms of the porphyrins and the ester or amide side arms of the pyridine ligands. Effective molarities (EM) for the intramolecular interactions were determined by comparison with the corresponding intermolecular H-bonding interactions. The values of EM do not depend on the solvent and are practically identical for amide and ester H-bond acceptors located at the same site on the ligand framework. However, there are variations of an order of magnitude in EM depending on the flexibility of the linker used to connect the H-bond acceptors to the pyridine ligands. Rigid aromatic linkers give values of EM that are an order of magnitude higher than the values of EM for the corresponding ester linkers, which have one additional torsional degree of freedom. However, the most flexible ether linkers give values of EM that are also higher than the values of EM for the corresponding ester linkers, which have one less torsional degree of freedom. Although the penalty for conformational restriction on binding is higher for the more flexible ether linkers, this flexibility allows optimization of the geometric complementarity of the ligand for the receptor, so there is a trade off between preorganization and fit.

A data-driven computational model enables integrative and mechanistic characterization of dynamic macrophage polarization.

Project description:Macrophages are highly plastic immune cells that dynamically integrate microenvironmental signals to shape their own functional phenotypes, a process known as polarization. Here we develop a large-scale mechanistic computational model that for the first time enables a systems-level characterization, from quantitative, temporal, dose-dependent, and single-cell perspectives, of macrophage polarization driven by a complex multi-pathway signaling network. The model was extensively calibrated and validated against literature and focused on in-house experimental data. Using the model, we generated dynamic phenotype maps in response to numerous combinations of polarizing signals; we also probed into an in silico population of model-based macrophages to examine the impact of polarization continuum at the single-cell level. Additionally, we analyzed the model under an in vitro condition of peripheral arterial disease to evaluate strategies that can potentially induce therapeutic macrophage repolarization. Our model is a key step toward the future development of a network-centric, comprehensive "virtual macrophage" simulation platform.

Mechanistic Analysis of Stereodivergent Nitroalkane Cyclopropanation Catalyzed by Nonheme Iron Enzymes.

Project description:BelL and HrmJ are α-ketoglutarate-dependent nonheme iron enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cyclization of 6-nitronorleucine, resulting in the formation of two diastereomeric 3-(2-nitrocyclopropyl)alanine (Ncpa) products containing trans-cyclopropane rings with (1'R,2'R) and (1'S,2'S) configurations, respectively. Herein, we investigate the catalytic mechanism and stereodivergency of the cyclopropanases. The results suggest that the nitroalkane moiety of the substrate is first deprotonated to produce the nitronate form. Spectroscopic analyses and biochemical assays with substrates and analogues indicate that an iron(IV)-oxo species abstracts proS-H from C4 to initiate intramolecular C-C bond formation. A hydroxylation intermediate is unlikely to be involved in the cyclopropanation reaction. Additionally, a genome mining approach is employed to discover new homologues that perform the cyclopropanation of 6-nitronorleucine to generate cis-configured Ncpa products with (1'R,2'S) or (1'S,2'R) stereochemistries. Sequence and structure comparisons of these cyclopropanases enable us to determine the amino acid residues critical for controlling the stereoselectivity of cyclopropanation.

The surprising structural and mechanistic dichotomy of membrane-associated phosphoglycosyl transferases.

Project description:Phosphoglycosyl transferases (PGTs) play a pivotal role at the inception of complex glycoconjugate biosynthesis pathways across all domains of life. PGTs promote the first membrane-committed step in the en bloc biosynthetic strategy by catalyzing the transfer of a phospho-sugar from a nucleoside diphospho-sugar to a membrane-resident polyprenol phosphate. Studies on the PGTs have been hampered because they are integral membrane proteins, and often prove to be recalcitrant to expression, purification and analysis. However, in recent years exciting new information has been derived on the structures and the mechanisms of PGTs, revealing the existence of two unique superfamilies of PGT enzymes that enact catalysis at the membrane interface. Genome neighborhood analysis shows that these superfamilies, the polytopic PGT (polyPGT) and monotopic PGT (monoPGT), may initiate different pathways within the same organism. Moreover, the same fundamental two-substrate reaction is enacted through two different chemical mechanisms with distinct modes of catalysis. This review highlights the structural and mechanistic divergence between the PGT enzyme superfamilies and how this is reflected in differences in regulation in their varied glycoconjugate biosynthesis pathways.

Mechanistic and structural insight into the functional dichotomy between interleukin-2 and interleukin-15

Project description:Interleukin-15 (IL-15) and IL-2 possess distinct immunological functions despite both signaling through IL-2Rβ and the common cytokine receptor γ-chain, γc, We find that in the IL-15/IL-15Rα/IL-2Rβ/γc quaternary complex structure, IL-15 heterodimerizes IL-2Rβ and γc identically to the IL-2/IL-2Rα/IL-2Rβ/γc complex, despite differing receptor-binding chemistries. IL-15Rα dramatically increases the affinity of IL-15 for IL-2Rβ, and this allostery is required for IL-15 trans-signaling versus IL-2 cis-signaling. Consistent with the identical IL-2Rβ/γc dimer geometry, IL-2 and IL-15 exhibited similar signaling properties in lymphocytes, with any differences resulting from disparate receptor affinities. Thus, IL-15 and IL-2 induce similar signals, and the cytokine-specificity of IL-2Rα versus IL-15Rα determines cellular responsiveness. These results provide important new insights for specific development of IL-15- versus IL-2-based immunotherapeutics. RNA-Seq is conducted in mouse CD8+ T cells, not treated or treated with IL2 or IL15 for indicated concentrations (1nM or 500nM) and times (4hr or 24hr).

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed stereodivergent synthesis of trisubstituted allenes and computational mechanistic studies.

Project description:Chiral molecules with multiple stereocenters are widely present in natural products and pharmaceuticals, whose absolute and relative configurations are both critically important for their physiological activities. In spite of the fact that a series of ingenious strategies have been developed for asymmetric diastereodivergent catalysis, most of these methods are limited to the divergent construction of point chirality. Here we report an enantioselective and diastereodivergent synthesis of trisubstituted allenes by asymmetric additions of oxazolones to activated 1,3-enynes enabled by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalysis, where the divergence of the allenic axial stereogenicity is realized by modifications of CPA catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to elucidate the origin of diastereodivergence by the stacking- and stagger-form in the transition state (TS) of allene formation step, as well as to disclose a Münchnone-type activation mode of oxazolones under Brønsted acid catalysis.

Mechanistic model of nutrient uptake explains dichotomy between marine oligotrophic and copiotrophic bacteria.

Project description:Marine bacterial diversity is immense and believed to be driven in part by trade-offs in metabolic strategies. Here we consider heterotrophs that rely on organic carbon as an energy source and present a molecular-level model of cell metabolism that explains the dichotomy between copiotrophs-which dominate in carbon-rich environments-and oligotrophs-which dominate in carbon-poor environments-as the consequence of trade-offs between nutrient transport systems. While prototypical copiotrophs, like Vibrios, possess numerous phosphotransferase systems (PTS), prototypical oligotrophs, such as SAR11, lack PTS and rely on ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which use binding proteins. We develop models of both transport systems and use them in proteome allocation problems to predict the optimal nutrient uptake and metabolic strategy as a function of carbon availability. We derive a Michaelis-Menten approximation of ABC transport, analytically demonstrating how the half-saturation concentration is a function of binding protein abundance. We predict that oligotrophs can attain nanomolar half-saturation concentrations using binding proteins with only micromolar dissociation constants and while closely matching transport and metabolic capacities. However, our model predicts that this requires large periplasms and that the slow diffusion of the binding proteins limits uptake. Thus, binding proteins are critical for oligotrophic survival yet severely constrain growth rates. We propose that this trade-off fundamentally shaped the divergent evolution of oligotrophs and copiotrophs.

Synthetic and mechanistic studies on Pd(0)-catalyzed diamination of conjugated dienes.

Project description:Various dienes and a triene can be regioselectively diaminated at the internal double bond with good yields and high diastereoselectivity using di-tert-butyldiaziridinone (5) as the nitrogen source and Pd(PPh(3))(4) (1-10 mol %) as the catalyst. Kinetic studies with (1)H NMR spectroscopy show that the diamination is first-order in total Pd catalyst and inverse first-order in PPh(3). For reactive dienes, such as 1-methoxybutadiene (6g) and alkyl 1,3-butadienes (6a, 6j), the diamination is first-order in di-tert-butyldiaziridinone (5) and zero-order in the olefin. For olefins with relatively low reactivity, such as (E)-1-phenylbutadiene (6b) and (3E,5E)-1,3,5-decatriene (6i), similar diamination rates were observed when 3.5 equiv of olefins were used. Pd(PPh(3))(2) is likely to be the active species for the insertion of Pd(0) into the N-N bond of di-tert-butyldiaziridinone (5) to form a four-membered Pd(II) complex (A), which can be detected by NMR spectroscopy. The olefin complex (B), formed from intermediate A via ligand exchange between the olefin substrate and the PPh(3), undergoes migratory insertion and reductive elimination to give the diamination product and regenerate the Pd(0) catalyst.
