α-palladation of Imines as entry to dehydrogenative heck reaction: Aerobic oxidative cyclization of N-Allylimines to Pyrroles by Ding, Zhenhua, Gao, Ke, Chen, Zhiyuan, Lu, Beili, Yoshikai, Naohiko

“…We report here a palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction of N-allylimines derived from methyl ketones, typically acetophenones, affording pyrrole derivatives at room temperature under oxygen atmosphere. The reaction likely proceeds through α-palladation of the imine followed by olefin migratory insertion and β-hydride elimination, thus representing a new example of aerobic dehydrogenative Heck cyclization.…”

Aphid Resistance Segregates Independently of Cardenolide and Glucosinolate Content in an Erysimum cheiranthoides (Wormseed Wallflower) F2 Population by Mirzaei, Mahdieh, Younkin, Gordon C., Powell, Adrian F., Alani, Martin L., Strickler, Susan R., Jander, Georg

“…However, this variation in defensive metabolites could not explain the differences in aphid growth on the two parental lines, suggesting that processes other than the abundance of glucosinolates and cardenolides have a predominant effect on aphid resistance in E. cheiranthoides.…”

A C-terminal peptide of TFPI-1 facilitates cytosolic delivery of nucleic acid cargo into mammalian cells by Fazil, Mobashar Hussain Urf Turabe, Chalasani, Madhavi Latha Somaraju, Choong, Yeu Khai, Schmidtchen, Artur, Verma, Navin Kumar, Saravanan, Rathi

“…The GGL27 peptide is non-cytotoxic and is internalized in a broad range of mammalian cell-types, including transformed cell lines and primary cells. GGL27 spontaneously forms complexes with nucleic acids of variable sizes, protects them from nuclease degradation, and delivers cargo effectively. …”

Multidimensional identification of tissue biomarkers of gastric cancer by Guo, Tiannan, Fan, Lingling, Ng, Wai Har, Zhu, Yi, Ho, Mengfatt, Wan, Wei Keat, Lim, Kiat Hon, Ong, Whee Sze, Lee, Sze Sing, Huang, Shiang, Kon, Oi Lian, Sze, Siu Kwan

“…Recognizing that interrogating plasma membrane proteins individually overlooks extensive interactions among them, we have systematically investigated the membrane proteomes and transcriptomes of six gastric cancer cell lines. Our data revealed aberrantly high expression of proteins whose functions accurately reflect the clinical phenotype of gastric cancer, and prioritized critical RTKs and CD proteins in gastric cancer. …”
