    Notes: Abstract  Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lack a functional MSS51 gene are respiratory deficient due to the absence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (Cox1p). It has been previously suggested, but not formally proven, that Mss51p is required for translational activation of COX1 mRNA, rather than being involved in a subsequent step in the synthesis of Cox1p or its assembly into cytochrome c oxidase. Pulse-chase labelling experiments now show that the absence of detectable levels of Cox1p in mss51-null strains is indeed due to the lack of synthesis of Cox1p, and is not caused by reduced stability of the protein. To gain more insight into the exact function of Mss51p, we determined the subcellular localization of the protein. We were able to show that an epitope-tagged version of Mss51p (Mss51HA) complements the mutation and can be localized in mitochondria, where it is firmly associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. In addition, we characterized the previously identified mutant allele mss51-3. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of a short open reading frame upstream of MSS51 resulting from the creation of an extra ATG startcodon.

    Notes: Abstract Krebs cycle NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase (Idh) binds to the 5-UTRs of all mitochondrial mRNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We hypothesize that this leader-binding activity plays a role in translational regulation, thereby linking mitochondrial biogenesis to the need for respiratory function. Analysis of effects of leader binding on mitochondrial translation is complicated by the involvement of the enzyme in mitochondrial metabolism. We have therefore searched for an Idh altered in RNA binding, but retaining full enzyme activity. Idh from Kluyveromyces lactis and Schizosaccharomyces pombe was partially purified and examined for the ability to bind Cox2 mRNA. Sch. pombe Idh, like the S. cerevisiae enzyme, has high affinity for both its own, K. lactis and S. cerevisiaeCOX2 leaders. In contrast, Idh purified from K. lactis shows only low affinity for all mRNAs tested. To determine what distinguishes K. lactis Idh from S. cerevisiae Idh, genes encoding the two subunits of Idh in K. lactis were cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparison revealed high levels of similarity throughout the proteins, in particular in regions involved in enzyme activity, co-factor and regulator binding. Non-conserved residues between the subunits from the two yeasts are candidates for involvement in the interaction with RNA.

    Notes: The reaction of palladium acetate with two equivalents of di- and triethanolamines RN(CH2CH2OH)2 in the presence of a base affords the new chelate-stabilized alkoxo Pd(II) complexes [Pd(OCH2CH2N(R)CH2CH2OH)2] [R = Me (1), Et (2), n-Bu (3), benzyl (4) or CH2CH2OH (5)]. These N,O-ligated complexes are isolated in high yield as yellow, crystalline solids and are thermally stable despite the presence of several β-hydrogen atoms in the ligand system. Both complexes possess a square-planar palladium coordination geometry with the two oxygen atoms positioned mutually trans. The most notable difference in the molecular structures is that 1 forms a two dimensional network of intermolecular O-H≡O hydrogen bonds, whereas 5 forms intramolecular O-H⃛O hydrogen bonds, which cage the palladium center. In solution 1-4 exist as a diastereoisomeric mixture (a racemic enantiomeric pair SNSN, RNRN and a mesomeric form RNSN) in a 1:1 molar ratio, and this ratio is independent of temperature in nonalcoholic solvents, When complexes 1-4 are dissolved in protic solvents (e.g. MeOH) the diastereomeric excess is temperature-dependent due to an exchange process between the meso diastereoisomer and the (racemic) enantiomeric pair. Thermodynamic parameters for this process in a mixture of MeOH-toluene have been determined with NMR and show this process to be influenced by the steric nature of the alkyl substituent (R) on nitrogen. A conformational analysis based on 1H-NMR coupling constants within the N,O-chelate ring of complexes 1-4 provides details on the solution structure of the ring in both diastereoisomers.

    Notes: Five 1,8-naphthalenediyl transition metal compounds 2 were prepared by treating either 1,8-naphthalenediylmagnesium (1) or 1,8-dilithionaphthalene with the appropriate transition metal dichloride LnMCl2: LnM = Cp2Ti (2a), (PEt3)2Pt (2b), Cp* PPh3Rh (2c), Cp* PPh3Ir (2d), or Cp*2Zr (2e). The resulting metallacycles were characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. X-ray crystal structure analyses were performed for (1,8-naphthalenediyl)titanocene (2a) and (1,8-naphthalenediyl)bis(triethylphosphane)platinum (2b). Despite the strain induced by the four-membered metal-containing rings, the naphthalene units show remarkably small distortions.

    Notes: Thermally and air-stable β-phosphaenones were synthesized by functionalization of Mes*P=CCl2 (1; Mes* = supermesityl = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl). At low temperature, 1 was lithiated by halogen-metal exchange with n-butyllithium to give the phosphanylidene carbenoid (Z)-Mes*P=C(Cl)Li [(Z)-2] which reacted with acid chlorides to furnish the C-carbonyl-substituted phosphaalkenes (Z)-Mes*P=C(Cl)R (3: P = COtBu; 4: R = COPh; 5: R = COOEt). The reaction of (Z)-2 with carbon dioxide furnished the carboxylate 6, which was converted by treatment with pivaloyl chloride or trimethylsilyl chloride into the phosphaalkenes 7 and 8 functionalized at the carbon atom by an anhydride or a trimethylsilyl ester function, respectively. Acidification of 6 or hydrolysis of 8 with water in chloroform solution afforded the novel carboxylic acid (Z)-Mes*P=C(Cl)COOH (9). Spectroscopic investigations (NMR, UV, IR) of 3-9 and the X-ray structures of 3 and 4 are presented. Based on these properties and on theoretical calculations, the occurrence of conjugation in the β-phosphaenone system is discussed and compared with the well-known conjugation in normal enones.
