Article Abstract

Two azobenzenesulfonamide molecules with thermally stable configurations resulting from fluorination of positions to the azo group are reported that can differentially regulate the activity of carbonic anhydrase in the and configurations. These fluorinated probes each use two distinct visible wavelengths (520 and 410 or 460 nm) for isomerization with high photoconversion efficiency. Correspondingly, the isomer of these systems is highly stable and persistent (as evidenced by structural studies in solid and solution state), permitting regulation of metalloenzyme activity without continuous irradiation. Herein, we use these probes to demonstrate the visible light mediated bidirectional control over the activity of zinc-dependent carbonic anhydrase in solution as an isolated protein, in intact live cells and in zebrafish during embryo development.

Introduction: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumor-like lesions in multiple organs. While central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cysts are commonly associated with VHL disease, there have been few reported cases of pancreatic hemangioblastoma in patients with VHL disease.

Case Presentation: A male patient in his 30s had been diagnosed with VHL disease and had been followed for cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinoma, for which he had undergone several tumor resections, radiation therapy, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Photo-responsive systems provide a powerful tool to reversibly regulate enzyme activity. However, inhibitor-based strategies, though widely used, are often restricted to specific enzymes. Noninhibitor strategies, such as enzyme surface modification or genetic mutation, often compromise structural integrity or residual activity.

Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) are fundamental biological macromolecules for mollusk shell formation, yet fewer than 400 SMPs in mollusks have been previously identified, hindering our understanding of how mollusks construct and maintain their shells. Here, we identified 1689 SMPs in the Pacific oyster using three different mass spectrometry techniques, representing a significant methodological advancement in shell proteomics, enabling a 6.52-fold increase in SMP identification compared to previous studies.

Unlabelled: CO concentration mechanisms (CCMs) are important in maintaining the high efficiency of photosynthesis of marine algae. Aquatic photoautotrophs have two types of CCMs: biophysical CCMs, based on the conversion of inorganic carbon, and biochemical CCMs, based on the formation of C acid intermediates. However, the contribution of biophysical and biochemical CCMs to algal carbon fixation remains unclear.
