Ring-Opening Reactions of Aminocyclopropanes and Aminocyclobutanes

Nitrogen-containing compounds are an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, material sciences or environmental sciences. Organic nitrogen occurs in many forms, ranging from small building blocks such as urea, a ...

Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Muhammad Umair Anwar, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti

Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. ...

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal ca ...

GDH-Dependent Glutamate Oxidation in the Brain Dictates Peripheral Energy Substrate Distribution

Rolf Gruetter

Glucose, the main energy substrate used in the CNS, is continuously supplied by the periphery. Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter, is foreseen as a complementary energy contributor in the brain. In particular, astrocytes actively take up glut ...

The effects of globotriaosylceramide tail saturation level on bilayer phases

Julian Charles Shillcock

Globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)) is a glycosphingolipid present in the plasma membrane that is the natural receptor of the bacterial Shiga toxin. The unsaturation level of Gb(3) acyl chains has a drastic impact on lipid bilayer properties and phase behaviour, ...

Neuroprotective role of lactate after cerebral ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Pierre Magistretti, Hongxia Lei, Jonathan Thevenet

It is well established that lactate can be used as an energy substrate by the brain by conversion to pyruvate and a subsequent oxidation in the mitochondria. Knowing the need for readily metabolizable substrates directly after ischemia and the protective e ...
