The Subject

The 1 : 1 complexes of the substituted triphenylphosphine ligands mesityldiphenylphosphine and dimesitylphenylphosphine with copper(1) chloride, bromide and iodide have been the subject of single-crystal X-ray structure determinations at 295 K. All six complexes crystallize as air-stable dimeric molecules, [(PPh2Mes)CuX]2 and [ (PPhMes2)CUX]2 with each copper atom in a distorted trigonal PCuX2. coordination environment.

TMPAThe effect of substitutions in the ring and in the side chain on the crystal structure of N- (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-methyl/chloro-acetamides of the configuration 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-COCH3− yXy (X = CH3 or Cl and y = 0,1, 2) has been studied by determining the crystal structures of N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-acetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH3 (); N-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-2-methylacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH2-CH3 (TMPMA); N-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-2,2-dimethylacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH(CH3)2 (TMPDMA) and N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CHCl2 (TMPDCA). The crystallographic system, space group, formula units and lattice constants in Å are: TMPA: monoclinic, Pn, Z = 2, a = 8.142(3), b = 8.469(3), c = 8.223(3), β = 113.61(2)◦; TMPMA: monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 8, a = 9.103(1), b = 15.812(2), c = 16.4787(19), α = 89.974(10)◦, β = 96.951(10)◦, γ =89.967(10)◦; TMPDMA: monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a =4.757(1), b= 24.644(4), c =10.785(2), β = 99.647(17)◦; TMPDCA: triclinic, P¯1, Z = 2, a = 4.652(1), b = 11.006(1), c = 12.369(1), α = 82.521(7)◦, β = 83.09(1)◦, γ = 79.84(1)◦. The results are analyzed along with the structural data of N-phenylacetamide, C6H5NH-CO-CH3; N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH2Cl; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-acetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-COCH3; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CH2Cl; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)- 2,2-dichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CHCl2 and N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)- 2,2,2-trichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CCl3. TMPA, TMPMA and TMPDCA have one molecule each in their asymmetric units, while TMPDMA has two molecules in its asymmetric unit. Changes in the mean ring distances are smaller on substitution as the effect has to be transmitted through the peptide linkage. The comparison of the other bond parameters reveal that there are significant changes in them on substitution.

N-Alkyl-o-nitrophenylcarbamates as solids present two carbonyl stretching bands in the region 1700 - 1800 cm−1 but similar N-alkyl-p-nitrophenylcarbamates have only one such band in the IR spectrum. In solution both kinds of carbamate present one carbonyl stretching band, but for the former, the splittings occur when the carbamates crystallize. Four crystal structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The two ortho derivatives have more than one molecule in the asymmetric unit, which is consistent with the IR observations.

AbstractMeCP2 is an abundant protein, involved in transcriptional repression by binding to CG and non-CG methylated DNA. However, MeCP2 might also function as a transcription activator as MeCP2 is found bound to sparsely methylated promoters of actively expressed genes. Furthermore, Attachment Region Binding Protein (ARBP), the chicken ortholog of MeCP2, has been reported to bind to Matrix/scaffold attachment regions (MARs/SARs) DNA with an unmethylated 5’-CAC/GTG-3’ consensus sequence. In this study, we investigated how MeCP2 recognizes unmethylated 5’-CAC/GTG-3’ motif containing DNA by binding and structural studies. We found that MeCP2-MBD binds to MARs DNA with a comparable binding affinity to mCG DNA, and the MeCP2-CAC/GTG complex structure revealed that MeCP2 residues R111 and R133 form base-specific interactions with the GTG motif. For comparison, we also determined crystal structures of the MeCP2-MBD bound to mCG and mCAC/GTG DNA, respectively. Together, these crystal structures illustrate the adaptability of the MeCP2-MBD toward the GTG motif as well as the mCG DNA, and also provide structural basis of a biological role of MeCP2 as a transcription activator and its disease implications in Rett syndrome.
