To investigate the potential of poly(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA)-based block-like polymers to serve as gene delivery carriers in moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid. protoplasts, and to evaluate the level of their phytotoxicity. Methods. Organic synthesis; DNA gel retardation assay; adapted PEG-mediated transformation protocol; PCR; light microscopy. Results. The formation of pDNA complex with DMAEMA-based carriers took place at 0.01-0.1 % concentrations of the polymer. The poly-DMAEMA carriers F8-DM1, F8-DM2 (fluorine-containing), LAcr-DM1, LAcr-DM2 (lauryl acrylate-containing), BAcr-DM1, and BAcr-DM2 (butyl acrylate-containing) were effective as carriers of plasmid DNA pSF3 at C. purpureus transformation . PCR analysis confirmed that the transformants of C. purpureus moss contain GFP as a gene of interest after the protoplast transformation by polymers LAcr-DM2, LAcr-DM1, BAcr-DM2, BAcr-DM1 and F8-DM2. The poly-DMAEMA carriers at working concentration (0.0025 %) were relatively non-toxic for protoplasts of C. purpureus moss. 83.1-93.9 % of viable protoplasts of C. purpureus moss were found after the treatment with studied carriers at that dose. However, at 0.25 % i.e. 100 times higher concentration than that used for moss transformation, the poly-DMAEMA carriers reached their IC 50 level. Conclusion. The novel block-like poly-DMAEMA carriers were effective in transformation of C. purpureus moss protoplasts and demonstrated low toxicity.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46534147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mammalian tyrosyl tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) is composed of N-terminal catalytic miniTyrRS and non-catalytic C-terminal domain. After cleavage both domains of TyrRS reveal non-canonical cytokine functions. It is important to study the conformational changes of miniTyrRS in the course of ligands binding in different nanocomposite complexes. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a very powerful method to detect the local conformational changes of proteins. The study of single-tryptophan form of the protein can provide important information about flexibility and local conformational changes of the protein functional sites. Methods. Site-directed mutagenesis, bacterial expression, fluorescence spectroscopy. Results. Intrinsic fluorescence characteristics of single-tryptophan Trp40-mini TyrRS were measured, a spectral maximum at 332 nm was revealed, which corresponds to the buried state of Trp40 fluorophore in protein globule. Fluorescence quenching of Trp40 by acrylamide revealed the existence of conformational flexibility of mini TyrRS. Conclusions. Fluorescence studies of the single-tryptophan form of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase revealed a buried state of Trp40 fluorophore but high conformational flexibility of the enzyme at the nanosecond time scale.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42624500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods. Biological tests; statistic methods. Results. In vitro screening of the anticancer activity showed that the derivatives with 2-phenylthiazol-4-yl, quinoxaline-2-yl, 6,7-dimethylquinoxalin-2-yl substituents demonstrated the highest level of anticancer activity; however, they were inferior to 2-(pyridin-4-yl)thiazol-4-yl. The product with the 2-methylthiazol-4-yl residue almost did not demonstrated cytotoxicity. Comparative analysis showed no significant correlation with known drugs; hence these compounds have specific molecular targets. Conclusions. The resulting 1-amino-3-hetarylisoquinolines are a promising class of compounds for anticancer drug development.

Methods. Molecular docking, in vitro DHFR inhibition assay, antimicrobial evaluation, SAR analysis, statistical methods. Results. According to the results of molecular docking to the active center of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), namely affinity, the main types of interactions and arrangement in the active center of the enzyme, several N -(R-carbamothioyl)cycloalkylcarboxamides were selected for their inhibitory effect. Based on in vitro screening, few promising compounds with high ability to inhibit DHFR were identified. It was found, that diacylsemicarbazides are more effective inhibitors of DHFR compared to acylthioureas. The studies on antibacterial activity have revealed several promising compounds, namely N -(2-R-hydrazine-1-carbonothioyl)cy-cloalkanecarboxamides, as highly active antimicrobial agents against E. сoli and St. aureus (MIC 3.125–25.0 μg/ml) with high DHFR-inhibitory effect, the activity of which competes with the comparison drug “Nitrofurazone”.
