AbstractThe GroEL–GroES chaperonin complex is a bacterial protein folding system, functioning in an ATP-dependent manner. Upon ATP binding and hydrolysis, it undergoes multiple stages linked to substrate protein binding, folding and release. Structural methods helped to reveal several conformational states and provide more information about the chaperonin functional cycle. Here, using cryo-EM we resolved two nucleotide-bound structures of the bullet-shaped GroEL–GroES1 complex at 3.4 Å resolution. The main difference between them is the relative orientation of their apical domains. Both structures contain nucleotides in cis and trans GroEL rings; in contrast to previously reported bullet-shaped complexes where nucleotides were only present in the cis ring. Our results suggest that the bound nucleotides correspond to ADP, and that such a state appears at low ATP:ADP ratios.

Tandem repeats of Drosophila transgenes can cause heterochromatic variegation for transgene expression in a copy-number and orientation-dependent manner. Here, we demonstrate different ways in which these transgene repeat arrays interact with other sequences at a distance, displaying properties identical to those of a naturally occurring block of interstitial heterochromatin. Arrays consisting of tandemly repeated white transgenes are strongly affected by proximity to constitutive heterochromatin. Moving an array closer to heterochromatin enhanced variegation, and enhancement was reverted by recombination of the array onto a normal sequence chromosome. Rearrangements that lack the array enhanced variegation of white on a homologue bearing the array. Therefore, silencing of white genes within a repeat array depends on its distance from heterochromatin of the same chromosome or of its paired homologue. In addition, white transgene arrays cause variegation of a nearby gene in cis, a hallmark of classical position-effect variegation. Such spreading of heterochromatic silencing correlates with array size. Finally, white transgene arrays cause pairing-dependent silencing of a non-variegating white insertion at the homologous position.

The hydrogen peroxide oxidation of thiocyanate ion in cis- and trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ leads to the formation of the corresponding cis- and trans-cyanoammine- and diamminebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt-(III) complexes. The spectral properties of the previously unreported trans-[Coe2NH3CN]2+ are reported and compared to the spectral properties of the cis-isomer.Observations are made concerning the reaction conditions which favor a high percent conversion of trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ to trans-[Coen2NH3CN]2+.

Infrared spectra show both free and hydrogen bonded hydroxyl absorption in several trans-2-alkoxy-3-hydroxytetrahydrofurans. The extent of non-bonded hydroxyl is greater than that of bonded hydroxyl. Suggestions are made of possible conformations which might account for the infrared data.

Abstract The microstructural changes which occur in cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes and in squalene during photosensitized oxidation were investigated with the aid of infrared and proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. The singlet oxygenation of these isoprenic compounds resulted in allylic hydroperoxides with shifted double bonds, according to the expected “ene”-type process. In contrast to trans-1,4-polyisoprene and squalene, which displayed the three possible double bond shifts, cis-1,4-polyisoprene showed essentially two of the shifts (to di- and trisubstituted double bonds) and very little of the third (to exomethylene groups). A suitable measure of the extent of hydroperoxidation was afforded by the absorbance ratio, A3400/A1440≡A′. Similar correlations of A′ with oxygen uptake were obtained for the three isoprenic compounds, using chlorophyll or methylene blue as sensitizer. The use of rose bengal gave erratic results indicative of some autoxidation accompanying the hydroperoxide formation. The singlet oxygenation followed zero-order kinetics, the relative rates for cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes being approximately 1.0:1.5.
