Synthesis of fluorinated allylic amines: Reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides with fluorinated imines
2007
A new synthesis of fluorinated allylamines through the reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides (as vinyl anion equivalents) with imines and imino esters has been described. The process includes a TBAF-mediated fragmentation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones to afford the desired allylic amines. When the reaction is performed with the corresponding sulfoxides, the fragmentation takes place under the addition conditions, affording the final products in a single step. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Characterization of some isomeric benzophenones by their mass spectra
1979
Benzophenones have been described to undergo characteristic α-cleavage and rearrangement processes upon mass spectrometric fragmentation. Recently two series of new and isomeric benzophenones have been prepared from phenylbenzoates by Fries rearrangement or directly by Friedel Crafts acylation. It is shown that the above mentioned diagnostic fragmentation processes can be used to characterize the resulting isomeric ortho or para hydroxy and ortho or para methoxy benzophenones unambigously.
Untersuchungen zur friesschen verschiebung an hydroxybenzylphenol-derivaten
1974
An den Acetaten 2a–c, 3b, 4b und 4d von sechs Hydroxybenzylphenol-Derivaten wurde die Friessche Verschiebung mit AlCl3 als Katalysator in Nitrobenzol bei Temperaturen zwischen 40 und 70°C durchgefuhrt. Neben den zu erwartenden Hauptprodukten der Friesschen Verschiebung konnte durch Saulenchromatographie eine Reihe von Zwischen- und Nebenprodukten isoliert werden. Daraus ging hervor, das wahrscheinlich eine teilweise Verseifung der Acetate als Nebenreaktion stattfindet. Eine Wanderung der Acetylgruppe an den benachbarten Phenolbaustein des gleichen Molekuls konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Samtliche Verbindungen, einschlieslich der Ausgangsprodukte, wurden durch ihre IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektren c…
Transcriptional regulation of theNε-fructoselysine metabolism inEscherichia coliby global and substrate-specific cues
2020
AbstractThermally processed food is an important part of the human diet. Heat-treatment, however, promotes the formation of so-called Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs), such as fructoselysine. The gut microbiota includingEscherichia colican utilize these compounds as a nutrient source. While the degradation route for fructoselysine is well described, regulation of the corresponding pathway genesfrlABCDremained poorly understood. Here we use bioinformatics combined with molecular and biochemical analyses and show that inE. coli, fructoselysine metabolism is tightly controlled at the transcriptional level. The global regulator Crp (CAP), as well as the alternative sigma factor σ32 (RpoH) …
Analysis of the ORF2 of human astroviruses reveals lineage diversification, recombination and rearrangement and provides the basis for a novel sub-cl…
2014
Canonical human astroviruses (HAstVs) are important enteric pathogens that can be classified genetically and antigenically into eight types. Sequence analysis of small diagnostic regions at either the 5' or 3' end of ORF2 (capsid precursor) is a good proxy for prediction of HAstV types and for distinction of intratypic genetic lineages (subtypes), although lineage diversification/classification has not been investigated systematically. Upon sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the full-length ORF2 of 86 HAstV strains selected from the databases, a detailed classification of HAstVs into lineages was established. Three main lineages could be defined in HAstV-1, four in HAstV-2, two in HAstV-…
Horizontal gene transfer of atrazine-degrading genes (atz) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens St96-4 pADP1::Tn5 to bacteria of maize-cultivated soil
2005
International audience; The plasmid pADP1::Tn5 derived from pADP1[Atr(+)] carrying a TnS transposon conferring kanamycin and streptomycin resistances was constructed and introduced in Agrobacterium tumefaciens St96-4. This genetically modified strain was inoculated (similar to 108 cfu g(-1)) in potted soils planted with maize and treated or not with atrazine (1.5 mg kg(-1)). Bulk and maize rhizosphere soils were sampled 39 days after planting to look for soil indigenous bacteria that had acquired pADP1::Tn5. Four transconjugants were isolated from four different soil samples. The estimated transfer frequency of pADP1::Tn5 was 10(-4) per donor. Maize rhizosphere and atrazine treatment had no…
RSPO2 gene rearrangement: a powerful driver of β-catenin activation in liver tumours
2019
ObjectiveWe aimed at the identification of genetic alterations that may functionally substitute for CTNNB1 mutation in ß-catenin-activated hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).DesignLarge cohorts of HCA (n=185) and HCC (n=468) were classified using immunohistochemistry. The mutational status of the CTNNB1 gene was determined in ß-catenin-activated HCA (b-HCA) and HCC with at least moderate nuclear CTNNB1 accumulation. Ultra-deep sequencing was used to characterise CTNNB1wild-type and ß-catenin-activated HCA and HCC. Expression profiling of HCA subtypes was performed.ResultsA roof plate-specific spondin 2 (RSPO2) gene rearrangement resulting from a 46.4 kb microd…
Molecular Characterization of a Chromosomal Rearrangement Involved in the Adaptive Evolution of Yeast Strains
2002
Wine yeast strains show a high level of chromosome length polymorphism. This polymorphism is mainly generated by illegitimate recombination mediated by Ty transposons or subtelomeric repeated sequences. We have found, however, that the SSU1-R allele, which confers sulfite resistance to yeast cells, is the product of a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes VIII and XVI due to unequal crossing-over mediated by microhomology between very short sequences on the 5' upstream regions of the SSU1 and ECM34 genes. We also show that this translocation is only present in wine yeast strains, suggesting that the use for millennia of sulfite as a preservative in wine production could have favored …
Involvement of large rearrangements in MSH6 and PMS2 genes in southern Italian patients with lynch syndrome
2018
Background and aim of the work: The Lynch Syndrome (LS) is associated with germline mutations in one of the MisMatch Repair (MMR) genes. Most of germline mutations are point variants, followed by large rearrangements that account to 15-55% of all pathogenic mutations. Many study reporting the frequency of large rearrangements in the MLH1 and MSH2 genes were performed, while, little is known about the contribution of large rearrangements in other MMR genes, as PMS2 and MSH6. Therefore, in this study we investigated the involvment of large rearrangements in MSH6 and PMS2 genes in a well-characterized series of 20 LS southern Italian patients. Methods: These large rearrangements are not usuall…
Intragenic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements: Translocations as a novel mechanism ofALKactivation in neuroblastoma tumors
2014
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) has been demonstrated to be deregulated in sporadic as well as in familiar cases of neuroblastoma (NB). Whereas ALK-fusion proteins are common in lymphoma and lung cancer, there are few reports of ALK rearrangements in NB indicating that ALK mainly exerts its oncogenic capacity via activating mutations and/or overexpression in this tumor type. In this study, 332 NB tumors and 13 cell lines were screened by high resolution single nucleotide polymorphism microarray. Gain of 2p was detected in 23% (60/332) of primary tumors and 46% (6/13) of cell lines, while breakpoints at the ALK locus were detected in four primary tumors and two cell lines. These were furthe…
