AbstractA synthesis of 2-aminopyridines from pyridine N-oxides via their corresponding N-(2-pyridyl)pyridinium salts has been demonstrated and investigated. The reaction sequence features a highly regioselective conversion of the N-oxide into its pyridinium salt followed by hydrolytic decomposition of the pyridinium moiety to furnish the 2-aminopyridine product. The method is compatible with a wide range of functional groups, is scalable, and features inexpensive reagents. 15N-labeling results gave products consistent with a Zincke reaction mechanism.

Metabolic labeling using stable isotopes is widely used for the relative quantification of proteins in proteomic studies. In plants, metabolic labeling using 15N has great potential, but the associated complexity of data analysis has limited its usage. Here, we present the 15N stable-isotope labeled protein quantification workflow utilizing open-access web-based software Protein Prospector (PP). Further, we discuss several important features of 15N labeling required to make reliable and precise protein quantification. These features include ratio adjustment based on labeling efficiency, median and interquartile range for protein ratios, isotope cluster pattern matching to flag incorrect monoisotopic peak assignment, and caching of quantification results for fast retrieval.

An efficient self-cleavable purification tag could be a powerful tool for purifying recombinant proteins and peptides without additional proteolytic processes using specific proteases. Thus, the intein-mediated self-cleavage tag was developed and has been commercially available as the IMPACT™ system. However, uncontrolled cleavages of the purification tag by the inteins in the IMPACT™ system have been reported, thereby reducing final yields. Therefore, controlling the protein-splicing activity of inteins has become critical. Here we utilized conditional protein splicing by salt conditions. We developed the inducible intein-mediated self-cleaving tag (IIST) system based on salt-inducible protein splicing of the MCM2 intein from the extremely halophilic archaeon, Halorhabdus utahensis and applied it to small peptides. Moreover, we described a method for the amidation using the same IIST system and demonstrated 15N-labeling of the C-terminal amide group of a single domain antibody (VHH).

Uniformly 13C- and 15N-labeled samples ensure fast and reliable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assignments of proteins and are commonly used for structure elucidation by NMR. However, the preparation of uniformly labeled samples is a labor-intensive and expensive step. Reducing the portion of 13C-labeled glucose by a factor of five using a fractional 20% 13C- and 100% 15N-labeling scheme could lower the total chemical costs, yet retaining sufficient structural information of uniformly [13C, 15N]-labeled sample as a result of the improved sensitivity of NMR instruments. Moreover, fractional 13C-labeling can facilitate reliable resonance assignments of sidechains because of the biosynthetic pathways of each amino-acid. Preparation of only one [20% 13C, 100% 15N]-labeled sample for small proteins (<15 kDa) could also eliminate redundant sample preparations of 100% 15N-labeled and uniformly 100% [13C, 15N]-labeled samples of proteins. We determined the NMR structures of a small alpha-helical protein, the C domain of IgG-binding protein A from Staphylococcus aureus (SpaC), and a small beta-sheet protein, CBM64 module using [20% 13C, 100% 15N]-labeled sample and compared with the crystal structures and the NMR structures derived from the 100% [13C, 15N]-labeled sample. Our results suggest that one [20% 13C, 100% 15N]-labeled sample of small proteins could be routinely used as an alternative to conventional 100% [13C, 15N]-labeling for backbone resonance assignments, NMR structure determination, 15N-relaxation analysis, and ligand–protein interaction.

Clonal plants usually reproduce asexually through vegetative propagation and sexually by producing seeds. Physiological integration, the translocation of essential resources between ramets, usually improves vegetative reproduction. However, how physiological integration affects sexual reproduction has been less studied in clonal grasses. Here, we chose Hierochloe glabra, a major early spring forage of the eastern Eurasian steppe, and conducted a series of field experiments, including sampling reproductive ramets connected by tillering nodes to different numbers of vegetative ramets and 15N leaf labeling of ramet pairs at the seed-filling stage. In the natural populations of H. glabra, vegetative ramets were taller, had more and larger leaves, and greater biomass than reproductive ramets. Except for reproductive ramet biomass, sexual reproductive characteristics significantly increased with an increase in the number and biomass of vegetative ramets connected to tillering nodes. 15N labeling showed that vegetative ramets supplied nutrients to reproductive ramets through tillering nodes. Overall, our results indicate that significant differences in morphological characteristics and biomass allocation underlie resources translocation from vegetative ramets towards reproductive ramets. Physiological integration between different functional ramets can increase sexual reproductive performance, which will be beneficial to population persistence in H. glabra.
