An artificial CO-releasing metalloprotein built by histidine-selective metallation.
We report the design and synthesis of an aquacarbonyl Ru(II) dication cis-[Ru(CO)2(H2O)4](2+) reagent for histidine (His)-selective metallation of interleukin (IL)-8 at site 33. The artificial, non-toxic interleukin (IL)-8-Ru(II)(CO)2 metalloprotein retained IL-8-dependent neutrophil chemotactic activity and was shown to spontaneously release CO in live cells.
متن کاملArtificial Neurogenesis: An Introduction and Selective Review
In this introduction and review—like in the book which follows—we explore the hypothesis that adaptive growth is a means of producing brain-like machines. The emulation of neural development can incorporate desirable characteristics of natural neural systems into engineered designs. The introduction begins with a review of neural development and neural models. Next, artificial development— the ...
متن کاملA Novel Secretory Poly-Cysteine and Histidine-Tailed Metalloprotein (Ts-PCHTP) from Trichinella spiralis (Nematoda)
BACKGROUND Trichinella spiralis is an unusual parasitic intracellular nematode causing dedifferentiation of the host myofiber. Trichinella proteomic analyses have identified proteins that act at the interface between the parasite and the host and are probably important for the infection and pathogenesis. Many parasitic proteins, including a number of metalloproteins are unique for the nematodes...
متن کاملSelective Co‐Encapsulation Inside an M6L4 Cage
There is broad interest in molecular encapsulation as such systems can be utilized to stabilize guests, facilitate reactions inside a cavity, or give rise to energy-transfer processes in a confined space. Detailed understanding of encapsulation events is required to facilitate functional molecular encapsulation. In this contribution, it is demonstrated that Ir and Rh-Cp-type metal complexes can...
متن کاملAn electrophile-nucleophile interaction in metalloprotein structures.
A new attractive interaction in metalloprotein structures, between the thiolate anion of a metal-bound cysteine (acting as a nucleophile) and a carbonyl carbon of a peptide group (an electrophile), has been identified. From 82 cases extracted from 23 metalloprotein structures, the interacting S and C atoms are found to be at a distance of 3.2 (+/-2) A, such that the angle S ... C-O is 109 degre...
