The racemic Si-functional acetylsilanes tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))[ MeC(O)]SiF (1) and tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))[MeC(O)]SiH (2) and the racemic acetylsilanol tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))[MeC(O)]SiOH (3) were synthesized from Si(OMe)\(_4\) (4) as substrates for microbial reductions [4 -> tBuSi(OMe)\(_3\) (5) -> tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))Si(OMe)\(_2\) (6) -> tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))SiF\(_2\) (7)-> tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))(CH\(_2\) = C(OMe))SiF (8) -> 1; 8 -> tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))[CH\(_2\) = C(OMe)]SiH (9) -> 2; 6 -> tBu(Me\(_3\)SiCH\(_2\))[CH\(_2\) = C(OMe)]SiOMe (10) -> 3]. Compounds 1-3 were found to be reduced by cells of Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714) ( = SiC(O)Me -> = SiCH(OH)Me}. The crystal and molecular structure of 3 was studied by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, racemic 3 forms infinite chains built up by intermolecular 0-H .. ·O bonds between the hydroxyl and acetyl groups of molecules of the same absolute configuration.
We have experimentally studied the diffusion thermopower of a serial double quantum dot, defined electrostatically in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. We present the thermopower stability diagram for a temperature difference 1T = (20±10)mK across the device and find a maximum thermovoltage signal of several μV in the vicinity of the triple points. Along a constant energy axis in this regime, the data show a characteristic pattern which is in agreement with Mott’s relation and can be well understood within a model of sequential transport.
The Best for the Most Important: Maintaining a Pristine Proteome in Stem and Progenitor Cells
(2019)
Pluripotent stem cells give rise to reproductively enabled offsprings by generating progressively lineage-restricted multipotent stem cells that would differentiate into lineage-committed stem and progenitor cells. These lineage-committed stem and progenitor cells give rise to all adult tissues and organs. Adult stem and progenitor cells are generated as part of the developmental program and play critical roles in tissue and organ maintenance and/or regeneration. The ability of pluripotent stem cells to self-renew, maintain pluripotency, and differentiate into a multicellular organism is highly dependent on sensing and integrating extracellular and extraorganismal cues. Proteins perform and integrate almost all cellular functions including signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, metabolism, and cell division and death. Therefore, maintenance of an appropriate mix of correctly folded proteins, a pristine proteome, is essential for proper stem cell function. The stem cells' proteome must be pristine because unfolded, misfolded, or otherwise damaged proteins would interfere with unlimited self-renewal, maintenance of pluripotency, differentiation into downstream lineages, and consequently with the development of properly functioning tissue and organs. Understanding how various stem cells generate and maintain a pristine proteome is therefore essential for exploiting their potential in regenerative medicine and possibly for the discovery of novel approaches for maintaining, propagating, and differentiating pluripotent, multipotent, and adult stem cells as well as induced pluripotent stem cells. In this review, we will summarize cellular networks used by various stem cells for generation and maintenance of a pristine proteome. We will also explore the coordination of these networks with one another and their integration with the gene regulatory and signaling networks.
