Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

5.9K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Protein Complex Assembly

10.7K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.6K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Clathrin Coated Vesicles01:12

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

7.2K
Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments01:18

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

21.3K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

2.9K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Photochemistry

Background:

  • Diazocine ligands offer tunable properties through photoisomerization.
  • Controlling self-assembly of metal complexes is crucial for advanced materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the light-controlled self-assembly of cobalt(II) complexes using two regioisomeric diazocine ligands.
  • To explore the influence of ligand configuration (E/Z) and regioisomerism on self-assembly.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and characterization of two regioisomeric diazocine ligands.
  • Investigation of self-assembly with Cobalt(II) ions under varying light conditions (violet and green light).
  • Ligand competition experiments to demonstrate light-controlled disassembly and reassembly.

Main Results:

  • Regioisomer 1-Z self-assembles into Co2(1-Z)3, while 2-Z forms ill-defined oligomers.
  • Photoswitching to E-configuration reverses this: 1-E forms oligomers, and 2-E self-assembles into Co2(2-E)3.
  • Light-induced reversible transformation between Co2(1-Z)3 and Co2(2-E)3 was achieved over multiple cycles without significant fatigue.

Conclusions:

  • Diazocine ligands can be photoswitched to control cobalt complex self-assembly.
  • Light provides a reversible external stimulus for directed supramolecular assembly and disassembly.
  • This system demonstrates potential for light-responsive molecular devices.
