    Absence of effects of Sir2 overexpression on lifespan in C. elegans and Drosophila (2011)

    Description: Overexpression of sirtuins (NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylases) has been reported to increase lifespan in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. Studies of the effects of genes on ageing are vulnerable to confounding effects of genetic background. Here we re-examined the reported effects of sirtuin overexpression on ageing and found that standardization of genetic background and the use of appropriate controls abolished the apparent effects in both C. elegans and Drosophila. In C. elegans, outcrossing of a line with high-level sir-2.1 overexpression abrogated the longevity increase, but did not abrogate sir-2.1 overexpression. Instead, longevity co-segregated with a second-site mutation affecting sensory neurons. Outcrossing of a line with low-copy-number sir-2.1 overexpression also abrogated longevity. A Drosophila strain with ubiquitous overexpression of dSir2 using the UAS-GAL4 system was long-lived relative to wild-type controls, as previously reported, but was not long-lived relative to the appropriate transgenic controls, and nor was a new line with stronger overexpression of dSir2. These findings underscore the importance of controlling for genetic background and for the mutagenic effects of transgene insertions in studies of genetic effects on lifespan. The life-extending effect of dietary restriction on ageing in Drosophila has also been reported to be dSir2 dependent. We found that dietary restriction increased fly lifespan independently of dSir2. Our findings do not rule out a role for sirtuins in determination of metazoan lifespan, but they do cast doubt on the robustness of the previously reported effects of sirtuins on lifespan in C. elegans and Drosophila.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3188402/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3188402/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Burnett, Camilla -- Valentini, Sara -- Cabreiro, Filipe -- Goss, Martin -- Somogyvari, Milan -- Piper, Matthew D -- Hoddinott, Matthew -- Sutphin, George L -- Leko, Vid -- McElwee, Joshua J -- Vazquez-Manrique, Rafael P -- Orfila, Anne-Marie -- Ackerman, Daniel -- Au, Catherine -- Vinti, Giovanna -- Riesen, Michele -- Howard, Ken -- Neri, Christian -- Bedalov, Antonio -- Kaeberlein, Matt -- Soti, Csaba -- Partridge, Linda -- Gems, David -- 081394/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- CA129132/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG031108/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA129132/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01AG031108/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- T32AG000057/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 Sep 21;477(7365):482-5. doi: 10.1038/nature10296.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Healthy Ageing and Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21938067" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: The X-ray structures of the Cu2+ complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane derivatives with an ethylpro-pionate and diethylphosphonate group, 5 and 6, respectively, indicate that the metal ion is pentacoordinated by the four N-atoms of the macrocycle and one O-atom. In the case of 5, it is the carbonyl O-atom of the carboxylate group, whereas for 6 it is the phosphonyl O-atom of the phosphonate group. The hydrolysis kinetics of the functional group in the Cu2+ complexes with the 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecanes 3-6 have been measured by pH-stat and stopped-flow techniques. The rate law for the hydrolysis of the carboxylates 3-5 is proportional to the complex concentration and to [OH-] up to pH 13, whereas that of the phosphonate 6 is proportional to [OH-] up to pH 11.5, becoming independent of [OH-] at pH 〉 11.5. The mechanisms of these two reactions are discussed, considering the possibility of an intra- or an intermolecular OH- attack and the results of the X-ray structure analyses.

    Notes: The two tetraazamacrocycle-N,N′,N″,N‴-tetraacetic acids H4dota and H4teta form with Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ (M2+) mononuclear complexes MLH2 and M′[ML], M′ being an alkaline earth ion. The structures of Ni(H2dota) and Cu(H2dota) have been solved by X-ray structure analysis. The metal ions are in a distorted octahedral geometry coordinated by four amino N-atoms and two carboxylates. In the case of Cu2+, the distortions are more pronounced than for Ni2+ indicating that the Jahn-Teller effect is operating. Starting from these two structures, the coordination geometry of the other complexes is discussed using VIS and IR spectra.

    Notes: Solution studies of the Cu2+ complex with 11-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4,7,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(L) indicate that, depending on the pH and on the age of the solution, different species are present. Dissolving the solid [CuL](ClO4)2 in slightly acidic solution gives the protonated complex AH, characterized by an absorption maximum at 574 nm, by a relatively fast proton-induced dissociation kinetics and by the typical colour change in basic solution to give the deprolonated form A with coordinated side chain. AH slowly interconverts in acidic solution to a new species BH, which has an absorption maximum at 547 nm, and which is kineticaily more stable against acid dissociation and shows no coordination of the amino group of the side chain. In alkaline solution, however, the deprotonated form B deliver A in a base induced reaction. The X-ray diffraction studies of A and BH allow to determine the geometry of the metal ion and the configuration of the macrocycle. In A, the Cu2+ is pentacoordinated by the five N-atoms of the ligand and the macrocycle is in the RRSR configuration, whereas in BH the Cu2+ is octahedrally coordinated by the four N-atoms of the macrocycle and two axial perchlorate O-atoms with the macrocycle in the RRRS configuration. The amino group of the side chain is protonated and not coordinated. Thus, the on/off equilibrium of the side chain not only changes the geometry of the metal ion, as is generally found, but also alters the macrocyclic moiety.

    Notes: A series of N2S2-macrocycles with ring sizes varying between 12 and 16, as well as two 12-membered N2S2-rings with a pendant carboxylic and amino group, respectively, were synthesized. Their complexation properties towards Ag+ were studied by pH titrations and by potentiometry with a silver electrode. The observation that 1:1 ([AgLH2]3+, [AgLH]2+, [AgL]+) and 1:2 species ([AgL2H2]3+, [AgL2H]2+, [AgL2]+) were formed is interpreted by postulating that Ag+ can bind either to the S-donors only, or to both the N- and S-atoms. The most stable complex [AgL]+ in the series of the nonfunctionalized macrocycles was found for the 12-membered N2S2-ring 3. The stability of it increased when an additional donor group was introduced into the side chain. The highest formation constant (logβ110 = 14.43(1)) was obtained with the 12-membered ring 12 carrying the ethanamine side chain. In view of a radiochemical application, all Ag+ complexes were tested in blood serum for their stability, but were not stable enough against transmetallation.

    Notes: Three N2S2 macrocycles (3, 10, 12) carrying an amino group as a pendant arm have been synthesized and their complexation properties towards Ni2+ and Cu2+ studied. The crystal structures of the Cu2+ complexes with 10-methyl-1,4-dithia-7,10-diazacyclododecane-7-ethanamine (3) and 11-methyl-1,4-dithia-8,11-diazacyclotetradecane-8-ethanamine (10) show that, in both cases, the Cu2+ is pentacoordinated by the four donor atoms of the macrocycle and the amino group of the side chain. In aqueous solution, however, two forms of the complexes with stoichiometries [MLH] and [ML] (M = Cu2+ or Ni2+) have been observed. In [MLH], the amino group is protonated and does not bind to the metal ion, whereas in [ML] the amino group is bound, and a pentacoordinated geometry results. The pKa values for the equilibrium [ML] + H+⇌[MLH]+ decrease in the order 12 〉 10 〉 3, indicating that the 2-aminoethyl side chain binds better to the Cu2+ than the 3-aminopropyl side chain. Cyclic voltammetry for the Cu2+/Cu+ pair shows that the 2-aminoethyl pendant arm stabilizes the Cu2+ oxidation state, when the metal ion is in the 14-membered ring (10), whereas it stabilizes Cu+ for the 12-membered macrocycle (3).

    Notes: Azeitidinodiazepines 4b and 4c react with acylnitroso dienophiles 5a-c, specifically from their convexe α-side, but in a non-regiospecific way, leading thereby stereospecifically to the expected adducts 6a-d and 7a-d. The three-dimensional structures of 6a and 7a were determined by X-ray analyses which corroborated their NMR data. OsO4 cis-glycolization occurred in good yield with the inverse adducts 7a and 7e and led to the rearranged products 10. These latter ones result from an intramolecular N- to O-transbenzoylation of the short-lived intermediates 9 followed by fragmentation of the animal function. X-Ray analysis of 7a showed the N(10) atom to be pyramidal, a result which demonstrates that it does not have any pronounced benzamide character; otherwise no such N- to O-transbenzoylation would have taken place. Structure and relative configuration of 10a were ascertained by X-ray analysis which confirmed its NMR data as well as the stereochemical outcome of its formation.

    Notes: The synthesis and complexation properties of 1,4-dimethyl-8-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetra-decane (2) are described. This ligand forms with Cu2+ two complexes, one of which has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis. The structural, spectral, and kinetic studies indicate that the two Cu2+ complexes are isomers with the macrocycle in the trans-III and trans-I configuration. The rate of the interconversion of the trans-I isomer to the thermodynamically more stable trans-III species is proportional to [OH-]. A mechanism for this reaction is proposed.

    Notes: Saponification of homodiazepine 1a and 1b, in the absence of any proton donors, led to the formation of the 6π electron anionic species A which, by virtue of a 1,5-electrocyclization, is in equilibrium with the allylic anion B. This latter tricyclic species is thermodynamically less favoured than its bicyclic isomer A. Nevertheless, B could be trapped by acylation and led tupe-2 compounds which are the major reaction products. This is due to the fact that B is more nucleophilic and, therefore, much more reactive than A. The transoid topology of the tricyclic products 2 was demonstrated by 1H-NMR and by an X-ray diagram of 2d. The transoid geometry of 2 is a consequence of a torquospecific 1,5-electrocyclization (of A), which is due to a steric, and possibly even to an electronic factor.
