ABSTRACTHOTAIR is a long noncoding RNA transcribed between HOXC11 and HOXC12 in mammals. The proposed function(s) of HOTAIR lacks consensus as to whether it regulates HoxD cluster genes in trans or HoxC cluster genes in cis. We have identified a 32-nucleotide long conserved noncoding element (CNE) as HOTAIR ancient sequence which has a paralogous copy embedded in HOXD11 noncoding transcript. All vertebrates except teleosts have two copies of CNE and the paralogous CNEs exhibit sequence complementarity in the transcribed orientation. Moreover, paralogous CNEs underwent compensatory mutations suggesting they co-evolved and might hybridize. In both human and mouse, HOTAIR CNE exhibits characteristic features of a poised enhancer in HOTAIR-unexpressed stem cells and of an active enhancer in HOTAIR-expressed cells. Tight correlation between the transcriptional activity of the CNE and HOTAIR promoter suggests HOTAIR transcription is crucial for enhancer activity. In HOTAIR-expressed cells, HOTAIR expression is positively correlated with HOXC11 in cis and negatively correlated with HOXD11 in trans, suggesting a dual modality of HOTAIR ancient sequence.

The hydrogen peroxide oxidation of thiocyanate ion in cis- and trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ leads to the formation of the corresponding cis- and trans-cyanoammine- and diamminebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt-(III) complexes. The spectral properties of the previously unreported trans-[Coe2NH3CN]2+ are reported and compared to the spectral properties of the cis-isomer.Observations are made concerning the reaction conditions which favor a high percent conversion of trans-[Coen2NH3NCS]2+ to trans-[Coen2NH3CN]2+.

Infrared spectra show both free and hydrogen bonded hydroxyl absorption in several trans-2-alkoxy-3-hydroxytetrahydrofurans. The extent of non-bonded hydroxyl is greater than that of bonded hydroxyl. Suggestions are made of possible conformations which might account for the infrared data.

Abstract The microstructural changes which occur in cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes and in squalene during photosensitized oxidation were investigated with the aid of infrared and proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. The singlet oxygenation of these isoprenic compounds resulted in allylic hydroperoxides with shifted double bonds, according to the expected “ene”-type process. In contrast to trans-1,4-polyisoprene and squalene, which displayed the three possible double bond shifts, cis-1,4-polyisoprene showed essentially two of the shifts (to di- and trisubstituted double bonds) and very little of the third (to exomethylene groups). A suitable measure of the extent of hydroperoxidation was afforded by the absorbance ratio, A3400/A1440≡A′. Similar correlations of A′ with oxygen uptake were obtained for the three isoprenic compounds, using chlorophyll or methylene blue as sensitizer. The use of rose bengal gave erratic results indicative of some autoxidation accompanying the hydroperoxide formation. The singlet oxygenation followed zero-order kinetics, the relative rates for cis- and trans-1,4-polyisoprenes being approximately 1.0:1.5.

AbstractGenetic mutations explain only 10-15% of cases of Parkinson’s disease (PD), while an overriding environmental component has been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of PD. But regardless of where the underlying triggers for the onset of familial and sporadic PD fall on the gene-environment axis, mitochondrial dysfunction emerges as a common mediator of dopaminergic neuronal degeneration. Herein, we employ a multidisciplinary approach to convincingly demonstrate that neurotoxicant exposure- and genetic mutation-driven mitochondrial dysfunction share a common mechanism of epigenetic dysregulation. Under both scenarios, lysine 27 acetylation of likely variant H3.2 (H3.2K27ac) increased in dopaminergic neuronal models of PD, thereby opening that region to active enhancer activity via H3K27 hyperacetylation. These vulnerable epigenomic loci represent potential transcription factor motifs for PD pathogenesis. We further confirmed the mitochondrial dysfunction induced H3K27ac during neurodegeneration in ex vivo models of PD. Our results reveal an exciting axis of ‘exposure/mutation-mitochondrial dysfunction-metabolism-H3K27ac-transcriptome’ for PD pathogenesis. Collectively, the novel mechanistic insights presented here interlinks mitochondrial dysfunction to epigenetic transcriptional regulation in dopaminergic degeneration as well as offer potential new epigenetic intervention strategies for PD.
