Metabolic integration in locust flight: the effect of octopamine on fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content of flight muscle in vivo

1994

The biogenic amine octopamine was injected into the haemolymph of 20-days old male locusts,Locusta migratoria, and the content of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, a potent activator of glycolysis, was measured in the flight muscle after various time. Octopamine brought about a transient increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. After the injection of 10 μl of 10 mmol·l-1 d, l-octopamine fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was increased by 61% within 2 min. Ten minutes after the injection fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was increased to 6.71±0.89 nmol·g-1 flight muscle, almost 300% over the control value. Flight caused fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in flight muscle to decrease, but this decrease was counteracted by octo…

Susceptibility of Methyl 3-Amino-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate to Acylation

2009

Abstract In the search for a new method of synthesis of hybrid peptides with aminopyrazole carboxylic acid, we tried to force selective acylation at the aromatic amino group instead of at the ring nitrogen atom with fairly gentle acylating agents. The acylating agents used were acid anhydrides: acetic anhydride, tert-butyl pyrocarbonate, and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxyacetic acid/dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. We succceded in acylation at this amino group with almost none at the ring nitrogen atom. Sometimes, however, acylation in small quantities at the ring nitrogen atom was observed as a by-product. To remove this by-product, imidazole was used. Thus, we were able to obtain the hybrid peptides …

Facile Preparation of 3-Amino-4-(arylamino)-1H-isochromen-1-ones by a New Multicomponent Reaction

2005

Reactions between 2-formylbenzoic acid, various anilines and HCN result in the formation of 3-amino-4-(arylamino)-1H-isochromen-1-ones in high yield. The mechanism of this three-component condensation involves the intermediate formation of an α-aminonitrile and subsequent cyclization through nucleophilic attack of the ortho-carboxylate at the nitrile carbon.

Kinetische Racematspaltungen ausgehend vonrac-Alkoholen oderrac-Carbonsäurehalogeniden unter Mitwirkung optisch aktiver Induktorbasen

1989

Bei der Umsetzung eines Molaquivalents achiraler Carbonsaurehalogenide mit zwei Molaquivalenten rac-Alkoholen entstehen unter Mitwirkung von einem Molaquivalent einer optisch aktiven Induktorbase (tertiares Amin) partiell optisch aktive Ester sowie partiell optisch aktive Alkohole in zum Teil hoher optischer Reinheit (60 – 70%). Der im Ester gebundene Anteil an Alkohol sowie der nicht umgesetzte Alkohol haben entgegengesetzte Konfiguration. Der Induktionsgrad ist ahnlich hoch, wenn man zwei Molaquivalente eines rac-Carbonsaurehalogenids mit je einem Molaquivalent eines achiralen Alkohols und einer Induktorbase umsetzt. Der Carbonsaureanteil im Ester und die freie Saure haben entgegengesetzt…

ChemInform Abstract: Reversal of Asymmetric Induction in Stereoselective Strecker Synthesis on Galactosyl Amine as the Chiral Matrix.

1989

Abstract The reversal of the direction of asymmetric induction in Lewis acid catalyzed Strecker synthesis using the 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-pivaloyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl amine 1 is described. In isopropanol or tetrahydrofuran 1 had given ( R )-diastereomers of the corresponding α-amino nitriles preferably. However, in chloroform in the presence of heterogeneous zinc chloride the same auxiliary alternatively leads to an excess of the ( S )-diastereomers.

Green coffee, bioactive compounds’ analysis of experimental cultivation in Sicily: a new frontier in the Sicilian food sector

2023

Recently, climate change represents a new possibility for tropical cultivars fruit in Mediterranean areas. The focus of this work is the evaluation of the real possibility of coffee cultivation in Sicily, like coffee plants grown in tropical and subtropical regions. The objective was to evaluate plant adaptation to our climate and to study the chemical qualities of green coffee pulps and seeds: total phenolic content, antiradical capacity, fatty acids, amino acids, alkaloids, vitamins, proximate composition, polyphenolic profile and other bioactive compounds of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and agrary interest. Temperature, light and vegetative growth of Coffea arabica L. cv. “Caturra” plants we…

Effects of cold acclimation and dsRNA injections on Gs1l gene splicing in Drosophila montana

2017

Abstract Alternative splicing, in which one gene produce multiple transcripts, may influence how adaptive genes respond to specific environments. A newly produced transcriptome of Drosophila montana shows the Gs1-like (Gs1l) gene to express multiple splice variants and to be down regulated in cold acclimated flies with increased cold tolerance. Gs1l’s effect on cold tolerance was further tested by injecting cold acclimated and non-acclimated flies from two distantly located northern and southern fly populations with double stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting Gs1l. While both populations had similar cold acclimation responses, dsRNA injections only effected the northern population. The nature of …

Methionine in a protein hydrophobic core drives tight interactions required for assembly of spider silk

2019

Web spiders connect silk proteins, so-called spidroins, into fibers of extraordinary toughness. The spidroin N-terminal domain (NTD) plays a pivotal role in this process: it polymerizes spidroins through a complex mechanism of dimerization. Here we analyze sequences of spidroin NTDs and find an unusually high content of the amino acid methionine. We simultaneously mutate all methionines present in the hydrophobic core of a spidroin NTD from a nursery web spider’s dragline silk to leucine. The mutated NTD is strongly stabilized and folds at the theoretical speed limit. The structure of the mutant is preserved, yet its ability to dimerize is substantially impaired. We find that side chains of…
