Article Abstract
A novel Schiff base with imine/amine donors, 5-((3,3-diphenylalilidene)amino)pyrimidine-4-amine (L), and its new Platinum(II) and Ruthenium(II) complexes (I and II) were synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. The ability of these complexes to inhibit amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation was evaluated using the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). The complexes effectively inhibited Aβ aggregation at a 1:1 M ratio. Both complexes increased cell viability up to 80 % at concentrations of 10 μM. At this concentration, the cell viability value found by Aβ aggregation is around 65 %. Aggregation kinetics were fluorometrically monitored using Thioflavin T. These findings were further supported by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the interaction of the complexes with Aβ was investigated using MALDI-TOF/MS and H NMR spectroscopy. All findings showed that Aβ in both complexes is active in the inhibition of amyloid aggregation.

Electrostatic interactions between middle domain motif-1 and the AAA1 module of the bacterial ClpB chaperone are essential for protein disaggregation.

ClpB, a bacterial homologue of heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104), can disentangle aggregated proteins with the help of the DnaK, a bacterial Hsp70, and its co-factors. As a member of the expanded superfamily of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA), ClpB forms a hexameric ring structure, with each protomer containing two AAA modules, AAA1 and AAA2. A long coiled-coil middle domain (MD) is present in the C-terminal region of the AAA1 and surrounds the main body of the ring.

Article Synopsis
- *Key to Hsp104's function are specific amino acid loops in its ATP-binding domains that play crucial roles in substrate translocation and interaction.
- *Research shows that both flanking aliphatic residues and loop-2 are vital for Hsp104's activity; mutations can significantly impair its function in disaggregating proteins.

The members of the hexameric AAA+ disaggregase of and , ClpB, and Hsp104, cooperate with the Hsp70 chaperone system in the solubilization of aggregated proteins. Aggregate solubilization relies on a substrate threading activity of ClpB/Hsp104 fueled by ATP hydrolysis in both ATPase rings (AAA-1, AAA-2). ClpB/Hsp104 ATPase activity is controlled by the M-domains, which associate to the AAA-1 ring to downregulate ATP hydrolysis.

Article Synopsis
- * The chaperone utilizes ATP binding and hydrolysis to generate mechanical force necessary for disaggregating proteins, although the details of its ATPase cycle remain complex and poorly understood across different species.
- * Research on ordered structures of ClpB from Thermus thermophilus revealed that ATP binding is random initially, but once enough ATP binds to one ring, it activates the other ring for cooperative ATP hydrolysis, which is essential for the protein disaggregation function of ClpB.

ClpB, a member of the expanded superfamily of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+), forms a ring-shaped hexamer and cooperates with the DnaK chaperone system to reactivate aggregated proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. The ClpB protomer consists of an N-terminal domain, an AAA+ module (AAA-1), a middle domain, and a second AAA+ module (AAA-2). Each AAA+ module contains highly conserved WalkerA and WalkerB motifs, and two arginines (AAA-1) or one arginine (AAA-2).
