The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CPT1 and EPT1 genes encode for a cholinephosphotransferase (CPT) and choline/ ethanolaminephosphotransferase, respectively. Both Cpt1p and Ept1p activities display an absolute requirement for cations and phospholipids. A mixed-micelle assay was employed to determine cation and lipid activators of parental and chimaeric Cpt1p/ Ept1p enzymes to gain insight into their mechanism(s) of activation. Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ were the only cations capable of activating Cpt1p and Ept1p in vitro. Kinetic data revealed that only Mg2+ is present in appropriate amounts to activate CPT activity in vivo. The two enzymes displayed distinct activation profiles on the basis of their relative affinities for Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+. This allowed the use of chimaeric enzymes to determine the mechanism of cation activation. Cations do not activate Cpt1p or Ept1p by complexing with the substrate, CDP-choline, but instead bind to disparate regions within the enzymes themselves. Cpt1p and Ept1p also displayed distinct phospholipid activation profiles. Phospholipid activation required a phosphate and/or glycero-phosphoester linkage, with the phospho-head group moiety positioned at the surface of the micelle. Assays with parental and chimaeric Cpt1p/Ept1p constructs revealed that the phospholipid binding/activation domains are not located within linear segments of the protein, but instead are contained within distinct and separate regions of the proteins that require an intact tertiary structure for formation. Phosphatidylcholine (and its structural analogue sphingomyelin) were the best lipid activators of Cpt1p, the main biologically relevant CPT activity in S. cerevisiae. Hence CPT displays product activation. Because phosphatidylcholine is an efficient activator of CPT activity (and hence Cpt1p is not subject to feedback inhibition by its product), Cpt1p is incapable of functioning as a direct monitor of membrane phosphatidylcholine composition.

The synthesis of important classes of chemical compounds from alcohols helps to conserve Earth’s fossil carbon resources, since alcohols can be obtained from indigestible and abundantly available biomass. The utilisation of visible light for the activation of alcohols permits alcohol-based C–N and C–C bond formation under mild conditions inaccessible with thermally operating hydrogen liberation catalysts. Herein, we report on a noble metal-free photocatalyst able to split alcohols into hydrogen and carbonyl compounds under inert gas atmosphere without the requirement of electron donors, additives, or aqueous reaction media. The reusable photocatalyst mediates C–N multiple bond formation using the oxidation of alcohols and subsequent coupling with amines. The photocatalyst consists of a CdS/TiO2 heterojunction decorated with co-catalytic Ni nanoparticles and is prepared on size-optimised colloidal metal–organic framework (MOF) crystallites.

An efficient iron phthalocyanine catalyzed method was developed for direct oxidative coupling of alcohols with amines to afford corresponding imines. The present protocol is applicable to various substituted aromatic and aliphatic alcohols and amines. The reaction is believed to proceed via activation of alcohols by iron phthalocyanines through Lewis acid–base interaction to form aldehydes, which by nucleophilic attack of amines are converted into the corresponding imines.
