Herein is reported a bis-sulfone ATRP initiator capable of inserting into the disulfide bonds of antibodies. Further, we present trehalose methacrylate polymers made with this initiator that effectively stabilize antibodies to heat as conjugates.

AbstractSalicylic acid (SA) and its structural analogs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that target mammalian cyclooxygenases. In plants, SA acts as a defense hormone that regulates NON-EXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1), the master transcriptional regulator of immunity-related genes. We identified a number of NSAIDs that enhance bacterial effector-induced cell death. Among them, the oxicam-type NSAIDs tenoxicam (TNX), meloxicam, and piroxicam, but not other types of NSAIDs, exhibit an inhibitory effect on immunity to bacteria and SA-dependent immune responses in plants. TNX treatment reduces NPR1 levels, independently from the proposed SA receptors NPR3 and NPR4. Instead, TNX induces oxidation of cytosolic redox status, which is also affected by SA and regulates NPR1 homeostasis. Surprisingly, however, cysteine modification associated with NPR1 oligomerization via intermolecular disulfide bonds is not affected by either SA or TNX. Therefore, oxicam-type NSAIDs highlight importance of SA effects on the cytosolic redox status, but not on cysteine modification or oligomerization of NPR1.

Botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. The toxin inhibits release of neurotransmitter, causing muscle paralysis. There are several serotypes, A to G, all of molecular weight about 150,000. The protein exists as a single chain or or as two chains, with two disulfide linkages. In a recent investigation on intracellular action of neurotoxins it was reported that type B neurotoxin can inhibit the release of Ca++-activated [3H] norepinephrine only if the disulfide bonds are reduced. In order to investigate possible structural changes in the toxin upon reduction of the disulfide bonds, we have prepared two-dimensional crystals of reduced type B neurotoxin. These two-dimensional crystals will be compared with those of the native (unreduced) type B toxin.
