Abstract Mutations in the thyroid hormone transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) result in MCT8 deficiency, characterized by severe intellectual and motor disability. The MCT8 protein is predicted to have 12 transmembrane domains (TMDs) and is expressed as monomers, homodimers, and homo-oligomers. This study aimed to delineate the mechanism of MCT8 oligomerization. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that lithium dodecyl sulfate effectively disrupts MCT8 protein complexes, indicating the involvement of non-covalent interactions. Successive C-terminal truncations of the MCT8 protein altered the oligomerization pattern only if introduced in the N-terminal half of the protein (TMD1-6). The truncation at extracellular loop 1 (E206X) still allowed homodimerization, but completely abrogated homo-oligomerization, whereas both were preserved by the C231X mutant (at TMD2), suggesting that the minimally required oligomerization sites are located proximal of Cys231. However, mutant constructs lacking the intracellular N-terminus or TMD1 and 2 were still capable to form homo-oligomers. Therefore, other domains distal of Cys231 are also likely to be involved in the formation of extensive multidomain interactions. This hypothesis was supported by structural modeling. Despite multiple approaches, MCT8 oligomerization could not be fully abrogated unless a substantial part of the protein was removed, precluding detailed studies into its functional role. Together, our findings suggest that MCT8 oligomerization involves extensive noncovalent interactions between the N-terminal halves of MCT8 proteins. Most mutations identified in patients with MCT8 deficiency have only minor effects on MCT8 oligomerization and, thus, impaired oligomerization does not appear to be an important pathogenic mechanism.

Di-Schiff bases with alkyl spacer (ethyl, butyl and hexyl) showed enhanced light emitting properties in solid state, while quenching was observed for di-Schiff bases with hydrazine spacer. Packing of the molecules via non covalent interactions along with the flexible spacer played the role in dictating the emission properties.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a series of phosphorescent cocrystals which were assembled by 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,4-DITFB) and either 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DMPhe), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DPPhe) or 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline (DClPhe)viaC—I...N halogen bonding. These cocrystals, labeled (1), (2) and (3), respectively, are phosphorescent and a distinct change in phosphorescent color can be observed from orange–yellow, green to yellow–green, with well defined vibrational band maxima at 587, 520 and 611 nm for (1), (2) and (3). Based on the dependence of halogen bonding in sites and strength, we discussed the impact of substituents with different electron-withdrawing effects and steric hindrance on intermolecular noncovalent interactions and phosphorescence. The method of inducing and modulating phosphorescence by halogen bonding and other weak non-covalent interactions through changing the substituent groups of molecules should be significant in both theory and the application of optical function materials with predictable and modulated luminescent properties.

The potential of NMR spectroscopy to investigate inorganic systems whose structure and reactivity is affected by non-covalent interactions is described; supramolecular assemblies based on relatively unusual intermolecular forces or on more classical ones, still rather unexplored in solution, are considered.
