Shikonin (SKN), a highly liposoluble naphthoquinone pigment isolated from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, is known to exert antibacterial, wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antitumor effects. The aim of this study was to examine SKN antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus...

Accumulation of alkaloids in plant vacuoles does not involve an ion-trap mechanism.

Deus-Neumann B, Zenk MH.
PMID: 24241730
Planta. 1986 Jan;167(1):44-53. doi: 10.1007/BF00446367.

Alkaloid uptake into vacuoles isolated from a Fumaria capreolata L. cell suspension culture was investigated. The uptake is carrier-mediated as shown by its substrate saturation, its sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors and especially by its exclusive preference for the (S)-forms...

Membrane-potential changes in vacuoles isolated from storage roots of red beet (Beta vulgaris L.).

PMID: 24258372
Planta. 1984 Jan;160(1):59-65. doi: 10.1007/BF00392466.

The membrane potential in vacuoles isolated from storage roots of red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) has been studied by following changes in the fluorescence of the dye 3,3'-diethylthiodicarbocyanine iodide, and by determining the uptake of the lipophilic triphenylmethylphosphonium cation....

Polypeptide pattern and enzymic character of vacuoles isolated from barley mesophyll protoplasts.

Planta

Kaiser G, Martinoia E, Schmitt JM, Hincha DK, Heber U.
PMID: 24232646
Planta. 1986 Nov;169(3):345-55. doi: 10.1007/BF00392130.

Intact chloroplasts and vacuoles were isolated from mesophyll protoplasts of barley. The chloroplasts occupied about 15% of the cellular volume and contained 75% of the protein, whereas the vacuoles occupied about 80% of the volume and contained less than...

The mechanism of colicin E 1 action.

The Journal of membrane biology

Feingold DS.
PMID: 24174202
J Membr Biol. 1970 Dec;3(1):372-86. doi: 10.1007/BF01868024.

Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation such as cyanide carbonyl m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) foster proton (H(+)) permeability of bacterial and other membranes; counter cation movement is required for the effect of the uncoupler on proton permeability to be manifested maximally. Treatment ofEscherichia...

Development of nitroxide-based theranostic compounds that act both as anti-inflammatory drugs and brain redox imaging probes in MRI.

Magnetic resonance in chemistry : MRC

Emoto MC, Sato S, Fujii HG.
PMID: 26990690
Magn Reson Chem. 2016 Sep;54(9):705-711. doi: 10.1002/mrc.4431. Epub 2016 Mar 15.

Theranostic probes provide both therapeutic and diagnostic imaging capabilities in one molecule and show significant promise for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. The present study describes for the first time the synthesis and utility of nitroxide-based contrast...

Carriers for abscisic acid and indole-3-acetic acid in primary roots: their regional localisation and thermodynamic driving forces.

Planta

Astle MC, Rubery PH.
PMID: 24263945
Planta. 1983 Feb;157(1):53-63. doi: 10.1007/BF00394540.

A carrier for the uptake of abscisic acid (ABA) is present in the tips and elongating zones of primary roots of both leguminous (runner bean, French bean, pea) and non-leguminous (sunflower, maize) seedlings. No ABA carrier was present in...

Formal Synthesis of (+)- and (-)-Perhydrohistrionicotoxin: A "Double Henry"/Enzymatic Desymmetrization Route to the Kishi Lactam(1).

The Journal of organic chemistry

Luzzio FA, Fitch RW.
PMID: 11674611
J Org Chem. 1999 Jul 23;64(15):5485-5493. doi: 10.1021/jo990293i.

Both antipodes of the Kishi lactam (3), the versatile intermediate for the synthesis of the perhydrohistrionicotoxin (pHTX) alkaloids, have been prepared. The synthetic route involved a "double Henry" condensation between glutaraldehyde and nitroacetal 5 giving meso dioxanyldiol 4 which...

Methanophosphagen: Unique cyclic pyrophosphate isolated from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Kanodia S, Roberts MF.
PMID: 16593359
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1983 Sep;80(17):5217-21. doi: 10.1073/pnas.80.17.5217.

A unique cyclic pyrophosphate compound has been detected at 10-12 mM intracellular concentration in Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum by in vivo(31)P NMR. This compound has been extracted from cells and purified by anion-exchange chromatography. Studies with (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P NMR...

Cooperative transient trapping of photosystem II protons by the integral membrane portion (CF0) of chloroplast ATP-synthase after mild extraction of the four-subunit catalytic part (CF1).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Junge W, Hong YQ, Qian LP, Viale A.

The ATP-synthase in chloroplasts is built from two blocks, CF0, which is integral to the thylakoid membrane and which serves as a proton channel, and CF1, attached to CF0, which is catalytically active. This study is aimed at understanding...

Complete tracking of transient proton flow through active chloroplast ATP synthase.
