چکیده
A general probe designed to induce a cascading sequence of reactions on a target protein was efficiently synthesized. The cascading reaction sequence involved (i) ligand-directed azaelectrocyclization with lysine and (ii) the autooxidation-induced release of a fluorescence quencher from the labeled protein. The probe was linked to a cyclic RGDyK peptide to enable the selective visualization of integrin αVβ3 on the surfaces of live cells.

Ligand-directed dibromophenyl benzoate chemistry for rapid and selective acylation of intracellular natural proteins.
A rapid and selective ligand-directed chemical reaction was developed for the acylation of proteins in living cells on the basis of ligand-directed chemistry. By fine tuning the reactivity and stability of the phenyl ester derivatives, we successfully identified ortho-dibromophenyl benzoate as the optimal reactive motif. It was sufficiently stable in an aqueous buffer, hydrolyzing less than 10%...

AChE is an enzyme that is predominate in a healthy brain, while BChE is considered to play a minor role in regulating the levels of ACh (memory molecule) in the brain. In addition to setting the ACh level, these two enzymes also facilitate Aβ aggregation by forming stable complexes and participate in the abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein, which also contribute to the development of Al...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of TNF family, is an interesting ligand which selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells and, therefore, it has been developed for cancer therapy. This ligand has been produced by various hosts such as E.coli. However, protein expression in E.coli cytoplasm leads to problems such as incorrect folding, reduction in biolo...
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas: the effective immune systems in the prokaryotes
Approximately all sequenced archaeal and half of eubacterial genomes have some sort of adaptive immune system, which enables them to target and cleave invading foreign genetic elements by an RNAi-like pathway. CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–CRISPR-associated proteins) systems consist of the CRISPR loci with multiple copies of a short repeat sequence separa...

Background: Ischemic stroke, as a health problem caused by the reduced blood supply to the brain, can lead to the neuronal death. The number of reliable therapies for stroke is limited. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit therapeutic achievement. A major limitation of MSC application in cell therapy is the short survival span. MSCs affect target tissues through the secretion of many paracrine...
