    Notes: Abstract Differential chemical modification ofE. coli chaperonin 60 (cpn60) was achieved by using one of several sulfhydryl-directed reagents. For native cpn60, the three cysteines were accessible for reaction with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), while only two of them are accessible to the larger reagent 4,4′-dipyridyl disulfide (4-PDS). However, no sulfhydryl groups were modified when the even larger reagents 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) or 2-(4′-(iodoacetamido)anilino) naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (IAANS), were employed, unless the chaperonin was unfolded. The cpn60 that had been covalently modified with NEM or IAANS, was not able to support the chaperonin-assisted refolding of the mitochondrial enzyme rhodanese, which also requires cpn10 and ATP hydrolysis. However, both modified forms of cpn60 were able to form binary complexes with rhodanese, as demonstrated by their ability to arrest the spontaneous refolding of the enzyme. That is, chemical modification with these sulfhydryl-directed reagents produced a species that was not prevented from interaction with partially folded rhodanese, but that was prevented from supporting a subsequent step(s) during the chaperonin-assisted refolding process.

    Partially folded rhodanese or its N-terminal sequence can disrupt phospholipid vesicles (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Rhodanese (thiosulfate cyanide sulfurtransferase; E.C. 2.8.1.1) is a mitochondrial enzyme that is unprocessed after import. We describein vitro experiments showing that partially folded rhodanese can interact with lipid bilayers. The interaction was monitored by measuring the ability of rhodanese to disrupt small unilamellar vesicles composed of phosphatidylserine and to release 6-carboxyfluorescein that was trapped in the liposomes. Partially folded rhodanese, derived by dilution of urea-unfolded enzyme, efficiently induced liposome leakage. Native rhodanese had no effect on liposome integrity. Liposome disruption progressively decreased as rhodanese was given the opportunity to refold or aggregate before introduction of the liposomes. A synthetic 23 amino acid peptide representing the N-terminal sequence of rhodanese was very efficient at disrupting the liposomes. Shorter peptides chosen from within this sequence (residues 11–23 or residues 1–17) had no effect on liposome disruption. A peptide representing the tether region that connects the domains of the enzyme was also without effect. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the N-terminal sequence of rhodanese is an uncleaved leader sequence, and can interact with membrane components that are involved in the mitochondrial uptake of this protein.

    Notes: Abstract Thein vitro refolding of the monomeric, mitochondrial enzyme rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1), which is assisted by theE. coli chaperonins, is modulated by the 23 amino acid peptide (VHQVLYRALVSTKWLAESVRAGK) corresponding to the amino terminal sequence (1–23) of rhodanese. In the absence of the peptide, a maximum recovery of active enzyme of about 65% is achieved after 90 min of initiation of the chaperonin assisted folding reaction. In contrast, this process is substantially inhibited in the presence of the peptide. The maximum recovery of active enzyme is peptide concentration-dependent. The peptide, however, does not prevent the interaction of rhodanese with the chaperonin 60 (cpn60), which leads to the formation of the cpn60-rhodanese complex. In addition, the peptide does not affect the rate of recovery of active enzyme, although it does affect the extent of recovery. Further, the unassisted refolding of rhodanese is also inhibited by the peptide. Thus, the peptide interferes with the folding of rhodanese in either the chaperonin assisted or the unassisted refolding of the enzyme. A 13 amino acid peptide (STKWLAESVRAGK) corresponding to the amino terminal sequence (11–23) of rhodanese does not show any significant effect on the chaperonin assisted or unassisted refolding of the enzyme. The results suggest that other sequences of rhodanese, in addition to the N-terminus, may be required for the binding of cpn60, in accord with a model in which cpn60 interacts with polypeptides through multiple binding sites.

    The effect of radical trapping reagents upon formation of poly(α-tetrahydrothiophenio para-xylylene) polyelectrolytes by the wessling soluble precursor method (1992)

    Notes: Molecular weights were studied by gel permeation chromatography of derivatized poly(α-tetrahydrothiophenio para-xylylene) chloride produced by aqueous or methanolic base-induced polymerization of 1,4-bis(tetrahydrothiopheniomethyl) benzene dichloride, both with and without a variety of added polymerization inhibiting agents. Efficient radical scavenging agents such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl and hydrogen atom donor 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylaniline reduced the degree of polymerization of the reactive α-(tetrahydrothiophenium chloride)-para-xylylene intermediate produced in this chemistry, and in some cases completely suppressed formation of high polymer. These two traps did not affect the equilibrium production of the para-xylylene by UV-Vis spectral analysis; hence they must affect the subsequent polymerization chain propagation steps in the mechanism. Electron spin resonance studies of polymerization in the presence of 0.00025 equiv of TEMPO showed disappearance of the spin label, a result consistent with a radical scavenging process. The results suggest that production of high molecular weight poly(α-tetrahydrothiophenio para-xylylene) chloride proceeds through a radical chain propagation sequence. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Para-Xylylenes and analogues by base-induced elimination from 1,4-bis-(dialkylsulfoniomethyl)arene salts in poly(1,4-arylene vinylene) synthesis by the wessling soluble precursor method (1992)

    Notes: para-Xylylenes are generated by treatment of various 1,4-bis(dialkylsulfoniomethyl)arene dihalides with base in water, methanol, and aqueous acetonitrile, as shown by UV-Vis spectroscopy. This procedure allows the monitoring of the transient xylylene monomers that yield polyelectrolyte precursor polymers for poly(arylene vinylene)s, formed by variations of the chemistry developed originally by Wessling and co-workers. Alkoxy, alkyl, and halogen ring substituents on the sulfonium salt precursors do not greatly affect the ability to generate and observe the growth and decay of steady-state concentrations of the para-xylylene intermediates. Use of strong resonance-acceptor substituents - such as cyano or nitro - on the ring reduces production of a strong para-xylylene absorption, possibly due to reluctance of the ylides initially formed from the bis-sulfonium salts to eliminate to the xylylenes. By variation of UV-Vis conditions, it was found that use of 20% aqueous acetonitrile rather than water allowed formation of low to modest molecular weight polyelectrolytes in cyano-substituted cases (Mw = 8000-37,000). Use of UV-Vis test experiments should be useful for screening of bis sulfonium salt precursors that may be expected to give high molecular weight polyelectrolytes - in cases where para-xylylene formation is easy - as well as for finding reaction conditions that will optimize polymer formation. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The reaction of bis(4,7-tetrahydrothiopheniomethyl) benzofuran dibromide with aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide leads to a water-soluble polyelectrolyte which can be film cast and thermolytically eliminated to give poly(4,7-benzofuran vinylene) (PBFV). Subjection of bis(4,7-tetrahydrothiopheniomethyl) benzothiophene dibromide to the same reaction sequence gives poly(4,7-benzothiophene vinylene) (PBTV). UV-VIS studies show that PBFV has a band gap of 2.76 eV, while PBTV has a band gap of 2.92 eV. These polymers are members of a new class of conjugated poly (arylene vinylene)s, in which heterocyclic pseudoaromatic rings are fused onto a poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene) backbone. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
