Transmembrane anion transport mediated by sigma-hole interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supramolecular transmembrane anion transporters are promising therapeutics for channelopathies and typically operate via hydrogen bonding. Sigma-hole interactions including halogen bonding (XB), chalcogen (ChB), pnictogen (PnB) have emerged as alternatives in both transport activity selectivity. This forum highlights recent advances identifies properties unique to sigma-hole interactions.

Transmembrane anion transport mediated by halogen-bond donors.
In biology and chemistry, the transport of anions across lipid bilayer membranes is usually achieved by sophisticated supramolecular architectures. Significant size reduction of transporters is hampered by the intrinsically hydrophilic nature of typical anion-binding functionalities, hydrogen-bond donors or cations. To maximize the atom efficiency of anion transport, the hydrophobic nature, dir...
متن کاملCadherin-mediated transmembrane interactions.
We show in this study that cadherin ligands, either soluble or immobilized on different surfaces, can bind to cells carrying a compatible cadherin and induce long-range signals which affect cell adhesion and dynamics. Addition of recombinant N-cadherin extracellular domain (NEC) to CHO cells expressing N-cadherin (FL4) greatly enhanced the calcium-dependent aggregation of the cells and blocked ...
متن کاملStudy of receptor mediated selective anion transmembrane transport using parallel artificial membrane permeability assay.
The separation performance of inorganic anions ReO4(-), Br(-), SO4(2-), and NO3(-) using porphyrin-alkaloid quaternary salt transporters is examined using parallel artificial membrane permeability assay. Active and selective transport of perrhenate is achieved by porphyrin-brucine conjugates. Herein, chlorides are used as antiporters and complete removal of perrhenates from a source solution is...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS OF ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTING POLYPEPTIDE MEDIATED TRANSPORT by
The organic anion transporting polypeptides (human: OATP; other: Oatp) form a mammalian transporter superfamily that mediates the transport of structurally unrelated compounds across the cell membrane. Members in this superfamily participate in the absorption, distribution and excretion of many endogenous and exogenous substances including a number of medications and environmental toxicants. Po...
متن کاملThe role of lipophilicity in transmembrane anion transport.
The transmembrane anion transport activity of a series of synthetic molecules inspired by the structure of tambjamine alkaloids can be tuned by varying the lipophilicity of the receptor, with carriers within a certain log P range performing best.
