Anhand von Untersuchungen an Xenopus laevis-Oozyten konnte in unserem Labor das Protein RS1 als posttranslationales Regulatorprotein f{\"u}r SGLT1 und diverse andere Transporter ermittelt werden. Es wurde eine regulatorische Dom{\"a}ne aus RS1 mit vielen potentiellen Phosphorylierungsstellen isoliert (RS1-Reg) und gezeigt dass RS1-Reg die Abschn{\"u}rung von Transporter enthaltenen Vesikeln vom Transgolgi-Netzwerk hemmt. Neben SGLT1 reguliert RS1 auch die konzentrierenden Nukleosidtransporter (CNTs) am TGN. Die Regulation der Transporter ist vom Phosphorylierungszustand von RS1-Reg abh{\"a}ngig. So wurde durch Versuche an Oozyten von Xenopus laevis und Injektion von RS1-Reg Mutanten gezeigt, dass die Phosphorylierung von RS1-Reg an einigen Stellen zu einer Inhibition von SGLT1 f{\"u}hrte, w{\"a}hrend der Nukleosidtransporter CNT1 durch die dephosphorylierte Mutante herunterreguliert wurden. Neben der phosphorylierungsabh{\"a}ngigen Regulation konnte f{\"u}r SGLT1 auch gezeigt werden, dass die Herunterregulation nur unter Niedrigzucker-Bedingungen erfolgte, nicht jedoch bei hohen Glukosekonzentrationen. F{\"u}r die CNTs war eine derartige Zuckerabh{\"a}ngigkeit nicht zu beobachten. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, ob die Ergebnisse aus den Oozytenmessungen auch in vivo in einem S{\"a}ugetier gezeigt werden k{\"o}nnen. Hierzu wurden Mutanten der regulatorischen Dom{\"a}ne (RS1-Reg) des Maus-Proteins, welche den phosphorylierten Zustand simulierten (RS1-Reg (S19E)), oder die Phosphorylierung verhinderten (RS1-Reg (S19A)) eingesetzt. Diese wurden an ein Nanohydrogel gekoppelt, um eine Aufnahme in die Enterozyten im Darm zu gew{\"a}hrleisten. Es wurde in der RS1KO-Mausohne funktionelles RS1 gezeigt, dass auch im in vivo-System eine Herunterregulation von SGLT1 durch mRS1-Reg (S19E), nicht jedoch durch mRS1-Reg (S19A) erfolgte, w{\"a}hrend die CNTs nur durch mRS1-Reg (S19A) inhibiert wurden. Des Weiteren f{\"u}hrte mRS1-Reg (S19A) in der Wildtypmaus bei niedrigen Zuckerkonzentrationen zu einer Stimulation von SGLT1, was f{\"u}r eine Kompetition mit dem endogenen RS1-Proteins spricht. Es konnte indirekt der Beweis erbracht werden, dass {\"u}ber Nanohydrogele l{\"a}ngere Proteine in die Zelle gebracht werden k{\"o}nnen und dort funktionell freigesetzt werden.}, subject = {Glucosetransport}, language = {de} } @article{HeRauchFriedrichetal.2019, author = {He, Jiang and Rauch, Florian and Friedrich, Alexandra and Sieh, Daniel and Ribbeck, Tatjana and Krummenacher, Ivo and Braunschweig, Holger and Finze, Maik and Marder, Todd B.}, title = {N-Heterocyclic Olefins as Electron Donors in Combination with Triarylborane Acceptors: Synthesis, Optical and Electronic Properties of D-π-A Compounds}, series = {Chemistry - A European Journal}, volume = {25}, journal = {Chemistry - A European Journal}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201903118}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-204690}, pages = {13777-13784}, year = {2019}, abstract = {N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs), relatives of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), exhibit high nucleophilicity and soft Lewis basic character.

UV-visible absorption studies show a larger red shift for the NHO-containing boranes than for the enamine analogue, a relative of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs). Solvent-dependent emission studies indicate that 1-4 have moderate intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) behavior.

Whereas RS1 decelerates the exocytotic pathway of vesicles containing SGLT1 at low glucose levels between meals, RS1-mediated deceleration is relieved after ingestion of glucose-rich food. Regulation of SGLT1 is mediated by RS1 domain RS1-Reg, in which Gln-Ser-Pro (QSP) is effective. In contrast to QSP and RS1-Reg, Gln-Glu-Pro (QEP) and RS1-Reg with a serine to glutamate exchange in the QSP motif downregulate the abundance of SGLT1 in the BBM at high intracellular glucose concentrations by about 50\%. We investigated whether oral application of QEP improves diabetes in db/db mice and affects the induction of diabetes in New Zealand obese (NZO) mice under glucolipotoxic conditions. After 6-day administration of drinking water containing 5 mM QEP to db/db mice, fasting glucose was decreased, increase of blood glucose in the oral glucose tolerance test was blunted, and insulin sensitivity was increased. When QEP was added for several days to a high fat/high carbohydrate diet that induced diabetes in NZO mice, the increase of random plasma glucose was prevented, accompanied by lower plasma insulin levels. QEP is considered a lead compound for development of new antidiabetic drugs with more rapid cellular uptake. In contrast to SGLT1 inhibitors, QEP-based drugs may be applied in combination with insulin for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, decreasing the required insulin amount, and thereby may reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.}, language = {en} } @article{LiuBudimanTianetal.2020, author = {Liu, Zhiqiang and Budiman, Yudha P. and Tian, Ya-Ming and Friedrich, Alexandra and Huang, Mingming and Westcott, Stephen A. and Radius, Udo and Marder, Todd B.}, title = {Copper-Catalyzed Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Electron-Deficient Polyfluorophenylboronate Esters with Terminal Alkynes}, series = {Chemistry - A European Journal}, volume = {26}, journal = {Chemistry - A European Journal}, number = {71}, doi = {10.1002/chem.202002888}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-224362}, pages = {17267 -- 17274}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We report herein a mild procedure for the copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of electron-deficient polyfluorophenylboronate esters with terminal alkynes.

Strong SERS responses for 3-5 versus a very weak response for 6, particularly the strong signals from anthracene itself observed for 5 but not for 6, demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. The energy of the characteristic stretching vibration of the C≡C bonds is significantly dependent on the aromatic moiety between the triple bonds. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two C≡C bonds thus offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores, applicable in multiplex biological Raman imaging.}, language = {en} } @article{HeRauchFriedrichetal.2021, author = {He, Jiang and Rauch, Florian and Friedrich, Alexandra and Krebs, Johannes and Krummenacher, Ivo and Bertermann, R{\"u}diger and Nitsch, J{\"o}rn and Braunschweig, Holger and Finze, Maik and Marder, Todd B.}, title = {Phenylpyridyl-fused boroles: a unique coordination mode and weak B-N coordination-induced dual fluorescence}, series = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, volume = {60}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie International Edition}, number = {9}, doi = {10.1002/anie.202013692}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-256423}, pages = {4833-4840}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Phenylpyridyl-fused boroles [TipPBB1]\(_4\) and TipPBB2 were synthesized and their properties investigated.

A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4.

Some of these 9-borafluorene compounds exhibit strong yellowish emission in solution and in the solid state with relatively high quantum yields (up to 73.6 \% for FMesB-Cz as a neat film). The results suggest that the highly twisted donor groups suppress charge transfer, but the intrinsic photophysical properties of the 9-borafluorene systems remain. The new compounds showed enhanced stability towards the atmosphere, and exhibited excellent thermal stability, revealing their potential for application in materials science. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices were fabricated with two of the highly emissive compounds, and they exhibited strong yellow-greenish electroluminescence, with a maximum luminance intensity of >22 000 cd m\(^{-2}\). These are the first two examples of 9-borafluorene derivatives being used as light-emitting materials in OLED devices, and they have enabled us to achieve a balance between maintaining their intrinsic properties while improving their stability.}, language = {en} }
