    Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Bronsted acid catalyzed azlactone ring opening in the presence of different nucleophiles leading to the efficient synthesis of protected amides and amino esters is presented. Sixteen compounds were synthesized in good to excellent isolated yields. Mechanism investigation by using ESI(+)-MS/MS revealed that the CSA catalyst promotes azlactone activation for electrophilic attack facilitating therefore the attack of the nucleophile that leads to ring opening and protonation.

    Orf-I and Orf-II-Encoded Proteins in HTLV-1 Infection and Persistence

    The 3' end of the human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type-1 (HTLV-1) genome contains four overlapping open reading frames (ORF) that encode regulatory proteins. Here, we review current knowledge of HTLV-1 orf-I and orf-II protein products. Singly spliced mRNA from orf-I encodes p12, which can be proteolytically cleaved to generate p8, while differential splicing of mRNA from orf-II results in production of p13 and p30. These proteins have been demonstrated to modulate transcription, apoptosis, host cell activation and proliferation, virus infectivity and transmission, and host immune responses. Though these proteins are not essential for virus replication in vitro, p8, p12, p13, and p30 have an important role in the establishment and maintenance of HTLV-1 infection in vivo
