An artificial CO-releasing metalloprotein built by histidine-selective metallation.

چکیده
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.

Hydrolytic catalysis and structural stabilization in a designed metalloprotein
Metal ions are an important part of many natural proteins, providing structural, catalytic and electron transfer functions. Reproducing these functions in a designed protein is the ultimate challenge to our understanding of them. Here, we present an artificial metallohydrolase, which has been shown by X-ray crystallography to contain two different metal ions-a Zn(II) ion, which is important for...
متن کاملCarbenes . Pincers , chelates , and abnormal binding modes *
Routes to pincer and chelate carbene complexes of Pd, Rh, and Ir include double geminal CH activation, metallation, and CH activation. Abnormal binding via imidazole C5 can occur, and ion pairing can strongly influence C2 vs. C5 binding. Prior ligand binding via pyridine N before metallation is not essential. Computational methods are used extensively, for example, to compare N vs. C binding in...
متن کاملManipulation of intraparticle charge delocalization by selective complexation of transition-metal ions with histidine moieties.
Ruthenium nanoparticles were cofunctionalized with pyrene and histidine moieties through Ru═carbene π bonds. The selective complexation of the histidine moiety with transition-metal ions led to a marked diminishment of the emission peak at 490 nm which arose from the nanoparticle-bridged pyrene moieties that behaved analogously to pyrene dimers with a conjugated spacer. This is accounted for by...
متن کاملDirect Mutagenic Effects in Some Artificial Food Flavors Using Ames Test
Background and purpose: Nowadays, food flavorings are widely used in Iran in different food and beverage items without considering their potential threats. This research aimed at investigating directed mutagenesis caused by flavorings using the Ames Test. Materials and methods: Direct mutagenesis of five artificial food flavorings (vanilla, banana, orange, coconut, and lemon), from three diffe...
متن کاملCharacterization of the zinc-metalloprotein nature of rat spermatidal protein TP2.
Spermatidal transition protein, TP2, was purified from rat testes by Hg-affinity chromatography. The present study reports the details of the zinc-metalloprotein nature of TP2 by employing the 65 Zn-blotting technique. Chemical modification of cysteine by iodoacetic acid, and histidine by diethylpyrocarbonate, resulted in a near complete inhibition of 65Zn-binding to TP2. The 65Zinc-binding was...
