A modified, high-yield synthesis of the two isomeric nido twelve-vertex [C2B10H13]- anions, "reactive" [nido-7,9-C2B10H13]- and "unreactive" [nido-7,12-C2B10H13]-, has been developed. A solution structure for the reactive [nido-7,9-C2H10B13]- isomer is proposed on the basis of the result of two-dimensional 11B and 1H correlation NMR spectroscopy. It is concluded that there is a marked similarity between this species and the eleven-vertex congener [nido-7,8-C2B9H12]-. In accord with this parallel, the "reactive" twelve-vertex species is found to undergo selective boron-vertex elimination reactions in the presence of oxidizing agents. These reactions give excellent yields of smaller-cage nido dicarbaborane compounds, namely [nido-7,8-C2B9H12]-, [9-(SMe2)-nido-7,8-C2B9H11], and nido-5,6-C2B8H12. NMR spectroscopy assigns cluster 11B and 1H resonances for all the compounds isolated, and thence permits comparison with the equivalent shielding patterns of structurally related analogues such as [nido-7-CB10H13]- and [nido-7,9-C2B9H12]-.

J-domain chaperones are involved in the efficient handover of misfolded/partially folded proteins to Hsp70 but also function independently to protect against cell death. Due to their high flexibility, the mechanism by which they regulate the Hsp70 cycle and how specific substrate recognition is performed remains unknown. Here we focus on DNAJB6b, which has been implicated in various human diseases and represents a key player in protection against neurodegeneration and protein aggregation. Using a variant that exists mainly in a monomeric form, we report the solution structure of an Hsp40 containing not only the J and C-terminal substrate binding (CTD) domains but also the functionally important linkers. The structure reveals a highly dynamic protein in which part of the linker region masks the Hsp70 binding site. Transient interdomain interactions via regions crucial for Hsp70 binding create a closed, autoinhibited state and help retain the monomeric form of the protein. Detailed NMR analysis shows that the CTD (but not the J domain) self-associates to form an oligomer comprising ∼35 monomeric units, revealing an intricate balance between intramolecular and intermolecular interactions. The results shed light on the mechanism of autoregulation of the Hsp70 cycle via conserved parts of the linker region and reveal the mechanism of DNAJB6b oligomerization and potentially antiaggregation.
