    Notes: Abstract The involvement of calmodulin (CaM) in wound-induced cytoplasmic contractions in E. verticillata was investigated. Indirect immunofluorescence of CaM in intact cells showed a faint, reticulate pattern of fluorescence in the cortical cytoplasm. Diffuse fluorescence was evident deeper within the cytoplasm. In contracted cells, CaM co-localizes with actin in the cortical cytoplasm in extensive, longitudinal bundles of microfilaments (MFs), and in an actin-containing reticulum. No association of CaM with tubulin was ever observed in the cortical cytoplasm at any stage of wound-healing. When contraction rates in wounded cells are measured, a lag period of 2 min is followed by a rapid, steady rate of movement over the subsequent 10 min. The delay in the initiation of longitudinal contraction corresponds to the time necessary for the assembly of the longitudinal MF bundles. Cytoplasmic motility was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by CaM antagonists. In these inhibited cells, MF bundles did not assemble, or were poorly formed. In the latter case, CaM was always found associated with MFs. These results indicate a direct spatial and temporal correlation between CaM and actin, and a potential role for CaM in regulating the formation of functional MF bundles during wound-induced cytoplasmic contraction in Ernodesmis.

    Notes: Abstract Ultrastructural changes in the cortical cytoskeleton during wound-induced cytoplasmic contraction were examined in the coenocytic green alga Ernodesmis verticillata. Both calmodulin (CaM) and actin were localized in intact and contracting cells by immunogold labeling. Within 5 min after wounding, compact microfilament (MF) bundles were observed which increase in diameter as cytoplasmic contraction proceeds. Calmodulin labeling is associated with amorphous material studding the MF bundles, whereas actin labeling occurs along the individual MFs. No MF bundles were ever observed during contraction that were not also labeled with anti-CaM antibodies. In cells treated with the CaM antagonist W-7 (N-[6-aminohexyl]-5-chloro-1-naphtha-lenesulfonamide), MF bundles do not form, and the formation of loosely arranged MFs (similar to nascent bundles in untreated cells) is greatly retarded. We propose that CaM binds indirectly to actin by activating an actin-binding regulatory protein which functions in early stages of the transduction sequence leading to functional MF bundles. Additionally, ultrastructural evidence is presented for a plasma-membrane skeleton or undercoating in this alga.

    Notes: Summary Changes in the plasma membrane surface and in the cortical cytoplasm during wound healing in giant green algal cells ofErnodesmis verticillata (Kützing) Bφrgesen were followed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Microvillus-like structures that contain cytoplasmic and cytoskeletal constituents were observed emanating from the surface of the plasma membrane at the retracting/cut end of wounded cells. These delicate structures seem to be remnants of cell wall-plasmalemma connections that draw out the plasma membrane and cortical components from the contracting cytoplasm as it pulls away from the cell wall. Most of these connections break during wound healing and, when contraction stops, the microvillus-like protrusions become progressively shorter. In cells treated with a calmodulin antagonist (W-7), a number of distinctive bodies accumulate that are of unknown composition, are oblong in shape, and have a diameter slightly smaller than the protoplasmic protrusions. Ultrastructural and other data indicate that these bodies result from retrieved constituents of the plasma-membrane protrusions, as they do not accumulate in unwounded drugtreated cells or in cells treated in W-5. These findings suggest that the protoplasmic protrusions accumulate membrane and cytoplasmic components that are retrieved and recycled during wound healing inErnodesmis by a novel mechanism. The combined plasma membrane surfaces of the microvillus-like protrusions may help to account for the drastic decrease in surface area that occurs during wound healing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Organic Syntheses by Means of Transition Metal Complexes, 8 - Synthesis of Unsaturated δ-L-Lactones from Vinyloxiranes and Carbon Monoxide via Transition Metal ComplexesThe transition metal-assisted carbonylation of vinyloxiranes to unsaturated δ-lactones has been verified and studied mechanistically by use of organometallic model reactions. The light induced complexation of vinyloxiranes 1 by Fe(CO)5 was shown to be a multistep reaction in which diastereomeric cis-resp. trans- ferralactones 2 are formed. Complexes of both types (2k, 2k′) were characterized crystallographically and studied chemically concerning their reactions with nucleophiles and electrophiles. Reaction with primary amines gives ferralactames 7 by migration of the allyl group and inversion at C-1 as well as C-4 indicating an attack of amine at the exo-position of C-4. On the other hand the reaction with HO⊖ leads to the formation of CO23⊝ and diene complexes 10 with inversion at C-1 only, indicating that the reaction has been initiated by attack of HO⊖ at a terminal carbonyl group. On electrophilic attack ferralactones form allyl cations (14, 16) by opening of the CO - O bond. Carbonylation of ferralactones with CO in aprotic solvents give good yields of unsaturated δ-lactones (12). In the case of isoprene epoxide it has been shown that homogeneous catalytic cyclocarbonylation of vinyloxiranes can be of synthetic use.
    Notes: Anhand metallorganischer Modellreaktionen wurde die Cyclocarbonylierung von Vinyloxiranen zu ungesättigten δ-Lactonen untersucht. Die photochemisch initiierte Komplexierung von Vinyloxiranen 1 (X = O) an Fe(CO)5 verläuft mehrstufig und führt zu diastereomeren cis- bzw. trans-Ferralactonen 2. Vertreter beider Verbindungstypen (2k, 2 k′) wurden kristallographisch charakterisiert und chemisch bezüglich ihres Verhaltens gegenüber Nucleophilen und Elektrophilen studiert. Mit primären Aminen bilden sich Ferralactame 7 unter Wanderung des Allylsystems sowie unter Konfigurationsumkehr an C-1 und C-4, was den exo-Angriff des Amins an C-4 des Allylsystems beweist. Bei Einwirkung von HO⊝ hingegen zerfallen Ferralactone zu CO23⊝ und Dien-komplexen 10, wobei lediglich an C-1 eine Konfigurationsumkehr beobachtet wird. In diesem Fall greift HO⊝ somit an einer terminalen Carbonylgruppe an. Elektrophile bewirken die Spaltung der CO-O-Bindung unter Bildung von Allyl-Kationen (14, 16). Die Carbonylierung von Ferralactonen führt in aprotischen Lösungsmitteln in guten Ausbeuten zu ungesättigten S-Lactonen (12). Am Isoprenepoxid wurde gezeigt, daß auch die homogenkatalytische Cyclocarbonylierung von Vinyloxiranen gute Ausbeuten an δ-Lactonen ergibt und dieses Verfahren für Synthesen von Interesse ist.

    Description / Table of Contents: H—C Bond Cleavage in Aldehydes by Neopentylruthenium(II) ComplexesNeopentylruthenium complexes of the type (η5-Cp)(L1)(L2)RuCH2CMe3 (1: Cp = C5Me5, L1 = L2 = PMe3; 3, 9, 10 and 11: Cp = C5H5, L2 = PPh3, L1 = PMe3, PMePh2, PMe2Ph and P(OMe)3, respectively) react with benzaldehyde with H—C bond cleavage of the aldehyde function to give the (η5-Cp)(L1)(L2)Ru benzoyl compounds 4, 13-16 and as the result of subsequent decarbonylation the (carbonyl) phenylruthenium complexes 2, 5, 12, 17-19 or mixtures thereof. Para phthaldialdehyde reacts with 1 (ratio 1 : 2) via the carbonyl complex 20 to give the 1,4-bis(ruthenium)benzene compound 21. Aliphatic aldehydes behave similarly: isobutyraldehyde reacts with 3 to give a mixture of the acyl-(22) and alkyl(carbonyl)ruthenium compound 23. 1 reacts with ferrocenealdehyde to give the carbonyl(ferrocenyl)ruthenium complex 25. The molecular structures of 22 and 2 as representatives of acyl- and (carbonyl)organylruthenium complexes, have been determined by X-ray diffraction.
