AbstractSensing and responding to temperature is crucial in biology. The TRPV1 ion channel is a well-studied heat-sensing receptor that is also activated by vanilloid compounds including capsaicin. Despite significant interest, the molecular underpinnings of thermosensing have remained elusive. The TRPV1 S1-S4 membrane domain couples chemical ligand binding to the pore domain during channel gating. However, the role of the S1-S4 domain in thermosensing is unclear. Evaluation of the isolated human TRPV1 S1-S4 domain by solution NMR, Far-UV CD, and intrinsic fluorescence shows that this domain undergoes a non-denaturing temperature-dependent transition with a high thermosensitivity. Further NMR characterization of the temperature-dependent conformational changes suggests the contribution of the S1-S4 domain to thermosensing shares features with known coupling mechanisms between this domain with ligand and pH activation. Taken together, this study shows that the TRPV1 S1-S4 domain contributes to TRPV1 temperature-dependent activation.

Addition of B(OTeF5)3 to TIOTeF5 in the weakly coordinating solvents dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane produces solutions of M(solv)x+B(OTeF5)4−. When the solvent was 1,2-dichloroethane, the crystalline compound Tl(1,2-C2H4Cl2)B(OTeF5)4 was isolated and studied by X-ray crystallography: triclinic, space group [Formula: see text], a = 9.221 (4), b = 11.396(5), c = 12.538 (4) Å, α = 110.75 (3)°, β = 101.72(3)°, γ = 99.74 (3)°, Z = 2, T = −116 °C. The Tl(1,2-C2H4Cl2)+ cation contains a five-membered chelate ring with Tl—Cl distances of 3.138 (4) and 3.179 (3) Å. The metal ion is weakly bonded to four B(OTeF5)4− counterions, with nine Tl—F interactions that range from 2.950 (5) to 3.981 (8) Å. When the solvent is dichloromethane or 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane, only the unsolvated solid salt TlB(OTeF5)4 can be isolated by crystallization. This salt is thermally unstable, slowly forming TlOTeF5 and volatile B(OTeF5)3. Keywords: noncoordinating anion, noncoordinating solvent, metal ion solvation.

Structural plasticity plays a major role in determining differential binding of CXCL8 monomer and dimer to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and that dimer is the high-affinity GAG ligand. We propose that these properties play important roles in orchestrating in vivo chemokine-mediated neutrophil function.
