Cyclic Dipeptides Formation From Linear Dipeptides Under Potentially Prebiotic Earth Conditions

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Cyclic dipeptides (DKPs) are peptide precursors and chiral catalysts in the prebiotic process. This study reports proline-containing DKPs that were spontaneously obtained from linear dipeptides under an aqueous solution. Significantly, the yields of DKPs

Direct Regioselective para‐Fluorination via I(I)/I(III) Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A direct, para‐selective fluorination by I(I)/I(III) catalysis is disclosed that does not require substrate pre‐functionalization. This strategy leverages the Leonard link inherent to phenylpropanoate and phenylpropanamides to promote a spirocyclization/para‐selective sequence. The C3‐side chain maps onto a range of common drug scaffolds and allows the

Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Fmoc-Protected 1,2,4-Triazolyl-α-Amino Acids and Their Dipeptides Against Aspergillus Species

Biomolecules
In recent years, fungal infections have emerged as a significant health concern across veterinary species, especially in livestock such as cattle, where fungal diseases can result in considerable economic losses, as well as in humans.

Ribosome-Mediated Incorporation of Dipeptides and Dipeptide Analogues into Proteins in Vitro [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2015
Plasmids containing 23S rRNA randomized at positions 2057-2063 and 2502-2507 were introduced into Escherichia coli, affording a library of clones which produced modified ribosomes in addition to the pre-existing wild-type ribosomes. These clones were screened with a derivative of puromycin, a natural product which acts as an analogue of the 3'-end of ...

Borylcyclopropanes: Synthetic Strategies and Applications

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Borylcyclopropanes (cyclopropanes bearing a boron substituent) sit at the intersection of two privileged frameworks in synthesis. This review provides the first exhaustive survey of their chemistry, spanning metal–carbene, nucleophilic cyclization, radical, hydroboration, and C─H activation routes, and documenting applications in medicinal chemistry ...

m6A‐Mediated Glycolysis by IL‐37 Drives T Cell Metabolic Reprogramming to Regulate Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies an IL‐37/SIGIRR‐METTL14 regulatory axis that suppresses global m6A modification in CD4+ T cells. IL‐37 signaling, mediated through SIGIRR, inhibits IRAK4 and JNK phosphorylation, leading to downregulation of the methyltransferase METTL14.

Streptavidins Coordinate Biotin Sequestration and Self‐Resistance Within a Biotin‐Pathway Antibiotic Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conserved genomic region between two streptavidin genes in Streptomyces packages biosynthetic gene clusters for diverse biotin‐pathway antibiotics: acidomycin, stravidin, the new non‐proteinogenic amino acid ANDA, and the new BioA inhibitor α‐methyl‐KAPA.

Light‐Activated Ruthenium Nanoclusters Reprogram the Metabolic‐Quorum Sensing Axis for Precision Periodontitis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Under 660 nm visible light, Ru NCs efficiently photocatalyze nitrate‐to‐ammonium conversion and modulate oral nitrogen metabolism. They precisely perturb Veillonella parvula, block its key support to Porphyromonas gingivalis, and exert an “inhibiting without killing” antivirulence effect.
