Yb(C_6Me_6)(AlCl_4)_3·MeC_6H_5的合成及其晶体结构

中性芳烃π键金属配合物在成键机制,反应性能方面都有自己的特点,并能催化烯烃聚合,齐聚合或烷基化反应。研究它们的合成,结构和反应性能,无论在理论上还是在实际上都是十分有意义的。近年来,相继报道了 Sm(C_6Me_6)(AlCl_4)_3(1),Ln(C_6H_6)(AlCl_4)_3(2)和Sm(MeC_6H_5)(AlCl_4)_3(3)的合成及结构,但是以上这些配合物都是采用 Friedel—Crafts法合成的。最近我们发现AICI_3,YbC_3,C_6Me_6直接反应可以方便地合成这些配合物。与现用的Friedel—Crafts相比,不仅简化了操作步骤,还提高了产物收率。本文将简要报道这一结果。

ELECTROCHEMICAL AND IN-SITU SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF (TETRAPHENYLPORPHINATO)MANGANESE(III) PERCHLORATE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHLORIDE ANIONS .2. OXIDATION PROCESSES

An investigation of electrode oxidation processes of (tetra-phenylporphinato) manganese (III) Perchlorate, (TPS)Mn(III)ClO4, was carried out during the titration of chloride anions by conventional cyclic voltammetry, thin-layer cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. It was demonstrated that in the presence of one equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation reaction corresponds to the Mn(III)I cation radical oxidation, and the second one electron oxidation corresponds to the cation radical/dication generation followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reaction, however in the presence of two equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation of Mn(III) gives Mn(IV) porphyrin and the second one electron oxidation generates cation radicals of Mn(IV) followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reactions. Mechanisms of these redox processes are postulated.

A valence change from RE3+ to RE2+ (RE=Eu, Sm, Yb) was observed in samples of SrB4O7: RE prepared by solid state reaction at high temperature in air. The phosphors SrB4O7: RE2+ show efficient luminescence at room temperature. The broad band d-f emissions of Eu2+ and Yb2+ are at 367 and 360 nm respectively. The sharp line f-f emissions of the Sm2+ ion (5D0-F-7(J)) are in the range 680-780 nm. The probable reasons for the valence change of Eu, Sm and Yb in this host are discussed.

水溶液中甘氨酰替亮氨酸与Ho(ClO_4)_3和Yb(ClO_4)_3相互作用的NMR研究(英文)

本文用~(13)C NMR方法研究了水溶液中三价顺磁性稀土离子Ho~(3+)和Yb~(3+)与二肽甘氨酰替亮氨酸之间的相互作用。对稀土诱导位移中的接触位移和偶极位移进行了分离。实验表明,与羧基相连的碳核所受的接触作用很大,因此不能把镱诱导的位移直接用于肽的构象分析。在水溶液中,肽通过羧基与稀土离子配位,在弱酸性条件下肽键和氨基均不参与配位。根据结构因子确定了肽在溶液中的构象,结果表明,分子片段C1-C2-C5-C6,C2-N-C3-C4和C2-C5-C6-C8为反式,而C2-C5-C6-C7和C1-C2-N-C3成旁式。

Investigation of EscA as a chaperone for the Edwardsiella tarda type III secretion system putative translocon component EseC

Edwardsiella tarda is an important Gram-negative enteric pathogen affecting both animals and humans. It possesses a type III secretion system (T3SS) essential for pathogenesis. EseB, EseC and EseD have been shown to form a translocon complex after secretion, while EscC functions as a T3SS chaperone for EseB and EseD. In this paper we identify EscA, a protein required for accumulation and proper secretion of another translocon component, EseC. The escA gene is located upstream of eseC and the EscA protein has the characteristics of T3SS chaperones. Cell fractionation experiments indicated that EscA is located in the cytoplasm and on the cytoplasmic membrane. Mutation with in-frame deletion of escA greatly decreased the secretion of EseC, while complementation of escA restored the wild-type secretion phenotype. The stabilization and accumulation of EseC in the cytoplasm were also affected in the absence of EscA. Mutation of escA did not affect the transcription of eseC but reduced the accumulation level of EseC as measured by using an EseC-LacZ fusion protein in Ed. tarda. Co-purification and co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated a specific interaction between EscA and EseC. Further analysis showed that residues 31-137 of EseC are required for EseC-EscA interaction, Mutation of EseC residues 31-137 reduced the secretion and accumulation of EseC in Ed. tarda. Finally, infection experiments showed that mutations of EscA and residues 31-137 of EseC increased the LD50 by approximately 10-fold in blue gourami fish. These results indicated that EscA functions as a specific chaperone for EseC and contributes to the virulence of Ed. tarda.

EscC is a chaperone for the Edwardsiella tarda type III secretion system putative translocon components EseB and EseD

Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative enteric pathogen that causes disease in both humans and animals. Recently, a type III secretion system (T3SS) has been found to contribute to Ed. tarda pathogenesis. EseB, EseC and EseD were shown to be secreted by the T3SS and to be the major components of the extracellular proteins (ECPs). Based on sequence similarity, they have been proposed to function as the 'translocon' of the T3SS needle structure. In this study, it was shown that EseB, EseC and EseD formed a protein complex after secretion, which is consistent with their possible roles as translocon components. The secretion of EseB and EseD was dependent on EscC (previously named Orf2). EscC has the characteristics of a chaperone; it is a small protein (13 kDa), located next to the translocators in the T3SS gene cluster, and has a coiled-coil structure at the N-terminal region as predicted by COILS. An in-frame deletion of escC abolished the secretion of EseB and EseD, and complementation of Delta escC restored the export of EseB and EseD into the culture supernatant. Further studies showed that EscC is not a secreted protein and is located on the membrane and in the cytoplasm. Mutation of escC did not affect the transcription of eseB but reduced the amount of EseB as measured by using an EseB-LacZ fusion protein in Ed. tarda. Co-purification studies demonstrated that EscC formed complexes with EseB and EseD. The results suggest that EscC functions as a T3SS chaperone for the putative translocon components EseB and EseD in Ed. tarda.
