Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) proteins oligomerize into multiprotein complexes termed inflammasomes when activated. Their autoinhibition mechanism remains poorly defined. Here, we report the crystal structure of mouse NLRC4 in a closed form. The adenosine diphosphate-mediated interaction between central nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) winged-helix (WHD) was critical for stabilizing conformation NLRC4. helical HD2 repressively contacted conserved...
A solution to the unmet synthetic challenge of achieving highly atropo-enantioselective transesterification Bringmann's lactones has been realized, employing a chiral bifunctional amine thiourea as promoter. The synergistic activation and alcohols/phenols by respective groups is crucial for enantioselective, high-yielding dynamic kinetic resolution process. This protocol gives optically pure, axially biaryl compounds with broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract A simple formylation reaction of aryl halides, triflates, and vinyl bromides under synergistic nickel‐ organic‐dye‐mediated photoredox catalysis is reported. Distinct from widely used palladium‐catalyzed processes, this proceeds by a two‐step mechanistic sequence involving initial in situ generation the diethoxymethyl radical diethoxyacetic acid 4CzIPN‐mediated reaction. The formyl‐radical equivalent then undergoes nickel‐catalyzed substitution reactions with halides triflates to...
