ABSTRACTWe report the biochemical characterization of a novel haloalkane dehalogenase, DatA, isolated from the plant pathogenAgrobacterium tumefaciensC58. DatA possesses a peculiar pair of halide-stabilizing residues, Asn-Tyr, which have not been reported to play this role in other known haloalkane dehalogenases. DatA has a number of other unique characteristics, including substrate-dependent and cooperative kinetics, a dimeric structure, and excellent enantioselectivity toward racemic mixtures of chiral brominated alkanes and esters.

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl2(PnPrPh2)2/MAO and CoCl2(PPh3)2/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

The hPrp19–CDC5L complex plays a crucial role during human pre-mRNA splicing by catalytic activation of the spliceosome. In order to elucidate the molecular architecture of the hPrp19–CDC5L complex, the crystal structure of CTNNBL1, one of the major components of this complex, was determined. Unlike canonical ARM-repeat proteins such as β-catenin and importin-α, CTNNBL1 was found to contain a twisted and extended ARM-repeat structure at the C-terminal domain and, more importantly, the protein formed a stable dimer. A highly negatively charged patch formed in the N-terminal ARM-repeat domain of CTNNBL1 provides a binding site for CDC5L, a binding partner of the protein in the hPrp19–CDC5L complex, and these two proteins form a complex with a stoichiometry of 2:2. These findings not only present the crystal structure of a novel ARM-repeat protein, CTNNBL1, but also provide insights into the detailed molecular architecture of the hPrp19–CDC5L complex.
