We report a new reversible lysine conjugation that features novel diazaborine product and much slowed dissociation kinetics in comparison to the previously known iminoboronate chemistry. Incorporating diazaborine-forming warhead RMR1 peptide ligand gives potent long-acting covalent inhibitors of staphylococcal sortase. The efficacy sortase inhibition is demonstrated via biochemical cell-based assays. A comparative study an iminoboronate-forming highlights significance potential modulating...
How ion channels are gated to regulate flux in and out of cells is the subject intense interest. The Escherichia coli mechanosensitive channel, MscS, opens allow rapid efflux, relieving turgor pressure that would otherwise destroy cell. We present a 3.45 angstrom–resolution structure for MscS channel an open conformation. This has pore diameter ∼13 angstroms created by substantial rotational rearrangement three transmembrane helices. suggests molecular mechanism underlies gating its decay...
The interface is a critical issue for metal-organic-framework hybrid membranes in propylene separation. Here, covalent-linking strategy reported strikingly reinforcing the interfacial compatibility ZIF-8-based membrane. A functionalized ZIF-8 material named ZIF-8-CN synthesized using mixed-ligand approach. has an identical crystalline structure to ZIF-8, and 4,5-dicyanoimidazole ligand available further functionalization. Covalent linkage of with PIM-1 driven by thermal reaction cyano groups...
Gas separation efficiency of covalent organic framework (COF) membrane can be greatly elevated through precise functionalization. A pair-functionalized COF 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) and isoquinoline-5,8-diamine (IQD) monomers in two three nodes is designed synthesized. TP-IQD crystallized a two-dimensional structure with pore size 6.5 Å surface area 289 m2 g-1 . This possesses N-O paired groups which cooperatively interact C2 H2 instead H4 nanosheets ≈10 μm width ≈4 nm thickness are...
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combining individual attributes of COFs and polymers are promising for gas separation. However, applying COF MMMs propylene/propane (C3 H6 /C3 H8 ) separation remains a big challenge due to inert pores C3 similar molecular sizes. Herein, the designed synthesis Cu(I) coordinated membrane is reported. A platform synthesized from 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine 2-hydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde. This possesses porous 2D...
Abstract Triggering lysosome‐regulated immunogenic cell death (ICD, e.g., pyroptosis and necroptosis) with nanomedicines is an emerging approach for turning “immune‐cold” tumor “hot”—a key challenge faced by cancer immunotherapies. Proton sponge such as high‐molecular‐weight branched polyethylenimine (PEI) excellent at rupturing lysosomes, but its therapeutic application hindered uncontrollable toxicity due to fixed charge density poor understanding of resulted mechanism. Here, a series...
An efficient multicomponent reaction for the preparation of vinyl sulfone was achieved by hydrogenation/bifunctional sulfonylation alkynyl esters with N- allyl bromodifluoroacetamide, DABSO, and H 2 O under visible-light-only conditions.
Abstract The generation of alkyl radical from C(sp 3 )−H substrates via hydrogen atom abstraction represents a desirable yet underexplored strategy in alkylation reaction since involving common concerns remain adequately unaddressed, such as the harsh conditions, limited substrate scope, and employment noble metal- or photo-catalysts stoichiometric oxidants. Here, we utilize synergistic photoredox transfer (HAT) catalysis to accomplish general practical functionalization unactived centers...
Abstract We report a novel conjugation of N‐terminal cysteines (NCys) that proceeds with fast kinetics and exquisite selectivity, thereby enabling facile modification NCys‐bearing proteins in complex biological milieu. This new NCys via thiazolidine boronate (TzB) intermediate results from ( k 2 : ≈5000 m −1 s ) reversible 2‐formylphenylboronic acid (FPBA). designed FPBA derivative upon TzB formation elicits intramolecular acyl transfer to give N‐acyl thiazolidines. In contrast the quick...
FucoID is an intercellular proximity labeling technique for studying cell-cell interactions (CCIs) via fucosyltransferase (FT)-meditated fucosyl-biotinylation, which has been applied to probe antigen-specific dendritic cell (DC)-T interactions. In this system, bait cells of interest with surface-anchored FT are used capture the interacting prey by transferring a biotin-modified substrate cells. Here, we leveraged study CCIs directed different molecular pairs, e.g., programmed death...
Abstract Functionalized porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are excellent candidate materials for hybrid membrane fabrication. However, tailoring PAFs CO 2 separation with desirable performance is still a challenge. Here, facile fabrication of functional alkylamine‐modified PAF‐1 containing membranes high compatibility efficient /N reported.

Abstract The histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) plays important roles in T-cell differentiation, proliferation and function. Previous studies have demonstrated that genetic deletion EZH2 CD8+ or total T cells impairs their antiviral antitumor activity, cytokine production ability to expand upon rechallenge. Contrary the detrimental role deleting cell–intrinsic EZH2, here we transient inhibition prior phenotypic onset exhaustion with a clinically approved inhibitor,...
