Kinds of Ring Terms modified by Ring Selected AbstractsORTH/VIM proteins that regulate DNA methylation are functional ubiquitin E3 ligasesTHE PLANT JOURNAL, Issue 5 2008Edward Kraft Summary Appropriate methylation of genomes is essential for gene regulation. Here, we describe the six-member ORTHRUS (ORTH) gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana that plays a role in DNA methylation in vivo. ORTH1, ORTH5 are predicted to encode proteins that contain one plant homeodomain (PHD), two really interesting new gene (RING) domains, and one set ring associated (SRA) domain, whereas ORTHlike-1 encodes a protein with only one RING and SRA domain. cDNAs for ORTH1, ORTH2, ORTH5 and ORTHlike-1 were isolated, and when expressed as glutathione- S -transferase (GST) fusion proteins, were capable of promoting ubiquitylation in vitro with the E2 AtUBC11. ORTH1 promotes ubiquitylation when paired with additional AtUBC8 family members. ORTH1 proteins with substitutions in metal,ligand binding residues in each ORTH1 RING domain individually, and ORTH1 truncation derivatives lacking one or both RING domains, were tested for their ability to catalyze ubiquitylation in vitro. In these assays, either ORTH1 RING domain is capable of promoting ubiquitylation. The PHD alone is not active as an E3 ligase, nor is it required for ligase activity. GFP-ORTH1 and GFP-ORTH2 are nuclear-localized in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Overexpression of ORTH1 or ORTH2 in Arabidopsis leads to an altered flowering time. Inspection of DNA methylation at FWA and Cen180 repeats revealed hypomethylation when ORTH proteins were overexpressed. Once initiated, a late-flowering phenotype persisted in the absence of the ORTH transgene, consistent with epigenetic effects at FWA. We conclude that ORTH proteins are E3 ligases mediating DNA methylation status in vivo.

W. Y. Lau Summary Of eight laboratory cultures of marine ,- and ,- Proteobacteria tested, growth on glycolate as a sole carbon source was detected for only three species: Pseudomonas stutzeri, Oceanimonas doudoroffii and Roseobacter sp. isolate Y3F. Degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were designed to amplify glcD, which encodes the D-subunit of the enzyme glycolate oxidase; glcD could be amplified only from those cultures that grew on glycolate. The PCR primers were used to explore glcD diversity in four field samples collected from different ocean environments: an Atlantic Gulf Stream Ring, sampled above and below the thermocline and two Pacific coastal sites, Parks Bay and San Juan Channel, WA. Environmental glcD sequences belonged to six major bacterial phylogenetic groups, with most sequences forming novel clades with no close relatives. Different patterns of glcD diversity were observed within and between the two nutrient regimes. Comparison of glcD and 16S rDNA diversity and analyses of available bacterial genomes and a metgenomic library from the Sargasso Sea show that glycolate-utilizing potential exists in only a subset of bacteria. Glycolate is produced in marine environments mainly by phytoplankton. Examination of glcD diversity will aid in understanding the influence of phytoplankton on bacterial community structure. [source] A Ruthenium(II)-Complexed Rotaxane Whose Ring Incorporates a 6,6,-Diphenyl-2,2,-bipyridine: Synthesis and Light-Driven MotionsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2005Jean-Paul Collin Abstract By incorporating a 6,6'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dpbipy) fragment in a ring, endo coordination of a ruthenium(II) center is performed selectively and almost quantitatively. The threaded system, containing a helical fragment, could be fully characterized. When the terminal functions of the rod-shaped helical complex threaded through the macrocycle are phenol groups, the complete rotaxane is prepared by the classical Williamson stoppering reaction in moderate yield. Light-induced motions of the unstoppered system (pseudorotaxane) and the real rotaxane have been studied. Under visible light irradiation, quantitative decoordination of the dpbipy-containing ring is observed, leading to the separate fragments (ring and helical thread) or to a new rotaxane (uncoordinated ring threaded by the dumbbell).

The fluorescent dye OH11 exhibits an absorption band at around 410 nm and a fluorescence band at around 530 nm. On the other hand, the pyridinum dye OH12 shows an absorption maximum at around 560 nm, assigned to a strong intramolecular charge-transfer excitation from the dibutylamino group to the pyridinium ring. The short-circuit photocurrent densities of the DSSCs prepared by using OH11 and OH12 are 4.33 and 1.74mA cm,2, and the solar energy-to-electricity conversion yields are 1.33 and 0.51,%, respectively, under simulated solar light [AM (air mass) 1.5, 100 mW,cm,2]. The open-circuit photovoltage for OH11 (525 mV) is higher than that of OH12 (444 mV). The effects of the configuration of the dyes on the TiO2 surface and of their chemical structures on the photovoltaic performances are discussed on the basis of semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations (AM1 and INDO/S), spectral analyses and cyclic voltammetry. [source] Dihydroazulene Photoswitches: The First Synthetic Protocol for Functionalizing the Seven-Membered RingEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 17 2009Michael Åxman Petersen Abstract The first synthetic protocol for functionalizing the dihydroazulene (DHA) photoswitch in its seven-membered ring has been developed. This protocol is based on regioselective bromination, followed by regioselective elimination of HBr, and finally a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with a terminal alkyne. The position of functionalization (C-7) was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Light-induced ring opening of this compound to its vinylheptafulvene (VHF) isomer followed by thermal ring closure provides a mixture of two DHA regioisomers in a ratio that depends on the wavelength of irradiation and solvent polarity.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Sharma Abstract The preparation of benzazepinoindoles, fused heterocycles with a benzazepine moiety, was accomplished through an intramolecular 7- endo - trig Pictet,Spengler cyclization. The precursors comprising C-3- or C-2-linked o -aminobenzylindoles required for the cyclization were obtained either by treating indoles with o -nitrobenzyl bromide followed by reduction of the nitro group or by treating 2-nitrophenylacetic acid with DCC/DMAP followed by reduction of the aryl nitro functionality. Resulting substrates 5 and 6 were then subjected to the 7- endo - trig Pictet,Spengler reaction with a variety of aldehydes and ketones to furnish new polycyclic structures benzazepinoindoles.

The electronic effects of the 2-aryl groups on the ratios of the ring - chain tautomeric forms at equilibrium could be described by Equation (1). Study of the effects of substituents X and Y on the tautomeric equilibria [by the aid of the multiple linear regression analysis of Equations (2) and (3)] revealed that the trans -chain equilibrium constants are significantly influenced by the inductive effect (,F) of substituent Y on the 4-phenyl ring.

Andes Hess Jr. Abstract A theoretical conformational study based on density functional calculations provides evidence that the sterol and nonsterol cyclizations of squalene to triterpenes are controlled by conformational effects as has been previously suggested. It was found that different conformers of a model system of squalene give rise to the chair,boat conformation found in the steroids and the chair,chair conformation of the pentacyclic 3-deoxytriterpenes for their A and B rings. It is suggested that the enzymes play a key role in holding the substrate in the proper orientation for these cyclizations to occur. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

[source] Stability studies of oxazolidine-based compounds using 1H NMR spectroscopyJOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Issue 8 2010Gerard P. Moloney Abstract A series of oxazolidine-based compounds with a variety of substituents in positions 2 and 3 was synthesized and their stability studied. Ring opened intermediates formed on addition of limiting amounts of D2O to oxazolidine solutions, as observed by NMR. As the hydrolysis reactions proceeded, a series of novel dimeric ,-amino alcohol compounds formed via an internal reaction between ephedrine and the ring opened intermediates. 2-Phenyl substituted oxazolidine compounds containing electron withdrawing nitro substituents were more rapidly hydrolyzed than the unsubstituted derivative and methoxy substituted compounds, with the nitro substituents appearing to stabilize the ring opened intermediates. Two oxazolidine derivatives, with a methyl and proton at position 2, were found to be more stable to oxazolidine hydrolysis than the 2-phenyl substituted compounds. Oxazolidines incorporating phenyl substituents at position 3 were synthesized and found to be less stable than those incorporating a methyl substituent at position 3. These fundamental structure,activity relationships may be useful when choosing oxazolidine derivatives as synthetic intermediates and as prodrugs for the delivery of compounds containing either ,-amino alcohol or aldehyde components. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 99:3362,3371, 2010 [source] RT-PCR Detection of Odontoglossum ringspot virus, Cymbidium mosaic virus and Tospoviruses and Association of Infections with Leaf-Yellowing Symptoms in PhalaenopsisJOURNAL OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 5 2008K. Yamane Abstract Leaf-yellowing symptoms in Phalaenopsis are most important effects in its commercial production in Japan and their cause has not yet been clarified. In the present study, Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV), Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) and tospoviruses were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in Phalaenopsis showing leaf-yellowing symptoms. Ring, spot, mosaic, necrosis and other symptom types were observed in 42%, 24%, 25%, 16% and 44% of the tested plants respectively. ORSV was detected in 55% of the plants, particularly in 35 of 42 plants with ring symptoms. CymMV was detected in 34% of the plants, particularly in 18 of 25 plants with mosaic symptoms. Plants co-infected with both viruses tended to show severe symptoms. In spite of systemic infection by inoculation of ORSV, no clear ring symptoms were observed in any plant for 6 months. Symptoms of leaf-yellowing were significantly reduced after 3 months. These results suggest that the symptoms can be associated with the viruses but occurred and alleviated over time and by changes in the environmental conditions. No tospoviruses were detected in 70 tested plants. ORSV and CymMV were simultaneously detected by RT-PCR using reported primers for ORSV and newly designed primers for CymMV using an efficient direct tube RNA extraction technique providing more cost-effective RT-PCR screening. No viruses were detected by RT-PCR in several plants showing spot or ring symptoms, suggesting the presence of other causal agents related to these symptoms. [source] Potential of Trichoderma harzianum and T. atroviride to Control Botryosphaeria berengeriana f. sp. piricola, the Cause of Apple Ring RotJOURNAL OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 4-5 2002G. KEXIANG Abstract Trichoderma harzianum T88 and T. atroviride T95 were tested for their efficacy in controlling apple ring rot (caused by Botryosphaeria berengeriana f. sp. piricola) in vitro and in the field. Isolates of T88 and T95 produced both volatile and non-volatile antibiotics that suppressed mycelial growth of the pathogen. Light and scanning electron microscopy showed that mycoparasitism by Trichoderma spp. of B. berengeriana f. sp. piricola resulted in penetration and disruption of hyphal cells, and thinning of cytoplasm of the pathogen. The culture filtrates of T88 and T95 in Czapek's liquid medium suppressed conidial germination of the pathogen, and the germination level was negatively correlated with the duration of culture of Trichoderma. In inoculation tests, 32 days after simultaneous inoculation or preinoculation with B. berengeriana f. sp. piricola and Trichoderma spp., the incidence of infected apple shoots was reduced, respectively, by 65.3,76.4% and 62.5,76.4%, and the index of infection reduced by 36.9,38.9 and 40.7,44.4, The effect of inoculating B. berengeriana f. sp. piricola 3 days after the antagonists were inoculated was greater (81.4,88.8%) than simultaneous inoculation (72.2,77.8%). Re-isolation from inoculated apple shoots demonstrated that the pathogen had been suppressed by Trichoderma. The ability to re-isolate the pathogen from apple after co-inoculation and pre-inoculation with Trichoderma spp. was reduced by 27.0,42.3% and 22.2,47.1%, respectively. The biocontrol field trial suggested that the B. berengeriana f. sp. piricola canker on apple shoots and stems and rotting fruit had been efficiently controlled by the application of spore suspensions of T. harzianum T88 and T. atroviride T95. The efficacy of control by Trichoderma is thus similar to that of routine chemical control.
