Kinetics and mechanism of triphenylphosphine quarternization with unsaturated carboxylic acids in the medium of acetic acid
Kinetics of reaction of triphenylphosphine with a series of unsaturated carboxylic acids and related esters in the medium of acetic acid as well as in mixtures of acetic acid and acetonitrile was studied by spectrophotometry. The data obtained show that the process of quarternization should be described by kinetic equation of third order, the proton transfer occurs from the solvent. A stepwise mechanism of interaction including formation of prereaction complex on the reaction pathway is proposed. © 2009 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Kinetic study of the reaction of triphenylphosphine with acrylic acid in alcohol media
Kinetic study of the reaction of triphenylphosphine with acrylic acid in alcohol media was carried out by spectrophotometric method. Use of alcohols as solvents is shown to introduce a specific feature in the kinetic picture of the reaction due to the appearance of parallel channels of proton transfer: from alcohol and from another molecule of acrylic acid in the solution. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Kinetics and mechanism of quaternization of tertiary phosphines with unsaturated carboxylic acids. Kinetic studies of the reactions in aprotic solvents
Data obtained while studying the kinetics of quaternization of tertiary phosphines with the unsaturated carboxylic acids in the series of aprotic solvents indicate the participation of a second molecule of acid playing the part of the external proton donor in this process. Quantitative analysis of the effect of solvent within the frames of the Koppel-Palm equation showed that the main contribution in the reaction rate belongs to the nucleophilicity of medium while the effects of polarity and electrophilicity are smaller. The results obtained suggest the step-by-step mechanism of interaction including the formation of the zwitterionic intermediate on the reaction pathway common for the solvents with different proton activity. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2011
Kinetic study of the reaction of tertiary phosphines with acrylic acid in aprotic solvents
The kinetics of the reaction of tertiary phosphines with acrylic acid in a series of aprotic solvents was studied by spectrophotometry. The data obtained suggest a stepwise mechanism of interaction including initial formation of zwitterionic intermediate followed by intermolecular proton transfer to the generated carbanionic center from the second molecule of acrylic acid.

Kinetics and mechanism of triphenylphosphine quarternization with unsaturated carboxylic acids in various media
Reactions of tertiary phosphines with unsaturated electrophilic reagents are widely used in synthetic organic chemistry. Typical satellites of these transformations are proton migration processes, which can play decisive role in such reactions. To learn more about proton transfer mechanism, kinetics of reaction of triphenylphosphine with a series of unsaturated carboxylic acids in alcohols, carboxylic acids, and aprotic solvents was studied by spectrophotometry. The form of kinetic equation depends on proton-donor properties of solvent and has a general third order. Proton transfer occurs from the solvent in carboxylic acids; the second molecule of substrate is required in aprotic solvents, and both canals of proton migration take place in alcohols. Existent proton transfer canals are isokinetic, attesting to the invariability of general features of the reaction mechanism independent of proton-donor nature at the last step of the interaction. A stepwise mechanism including initial generation of 1,3-dipole followed by proton transfer to the carbanionic centre from the medium is suggested. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

Phosphorylation of CLEC-2 is dependent on lipid rafts, actin polymerization,secondary mediators, and Rac
The C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2)activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases via a single cytoplasmic YxxL motif known as a hem immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).Here, we demonstrate using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation and methyl--cyclodextrin treatment that CLEC-2 translocates to lipid rafts upon ligand engagement and that translocation is essential for hemITAM phosphorylation and signal initiation. HemITAM phosphorylation, but not translocation, is also critically dependent on actin polymerization,Rac1 activation, and release of ADP and thromboxane A2 (TxA2). The role of ADP and TxA2 in mediating hosphorylation is dependent on ligand engagement and rac activation but is independent of platelet aggregation. In contrast,tyrosine phosphorylation of the GPVIFcR -chain ITAM, which has 2 YxxL motifs,is independent of actin polymerization and secondary mediators. These results reveal a unique series of proximal events in CLEC-2 phosphorylation involving actin polymerization, secondary mediators,and Rac activation
The complete inventory of receptors encoded by the rat natural killer cell gene complex
The natural killer cell gene complex (NKC) encodes receptors belonging to the C-type lectin superfamily expressed primarily by NK cells and other leukocytes. In the rat, the chromosomal region that starts with the Nkrp1a locus and ends with the Ly49i8 locus is predicted to contain 67 group V C-type lectin superfamily genes, making it one of the largest congregation of paralogous genes in vertebrates. Based on physical proximity and phylogenetic relationships between these genes, the rat NKC can be divided into four major parts. We have previously reported the cDNA cloning of the majority of the genes belonging to the centromeric Nkrp1/Clr cluster and the two telomeric groups, the Klre1–Klri2 and the Ly49 clusters. Here, we close the gap between the Nkrp1/Clr and the Klre1–Klri2 clusters by presenting the cDNA cloning and transcription patterns of eight genes spanning from Cd69 to Dectin1, including the novel Clec2m gene. The definition, organization, and evolution of the rat NKC are discussed
The Discovery of LOX-1, its Ligands and Clinical Significance
LOX-1 is an endothelial receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), a key molecule in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.The basal expression of LOX-1 is low but highly induced under the influence of proinflammatory and prooxidative stimuli in vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, platelets and cardiomyocytes. Multiple lines of in vitro and in vivo studies have provided compelling evidence that LOX-1 promotes endothelial dysfunction and atherogenesis induced by oxLDL. The roles of LOX-1 in the development of atherosclerosis, however, are not simple as it had been considered. Evidence has been accumulating that LOX-1 recognizes not only oxLDL but other atherogenic lipoproteins, platelets, leukocytes and CRP. As results, LOX-1 not only mediates endothelial dysfunction but contributes to atherosclerotic plaque formation, thrombogenesis, leukocyte infiltration and myocardial infarction, which determine mortality and morbidity from atherosclerosis. Moreover, our recent epidemiological study has highlighted the involvement of LOX-1 in human cardiovascular diseases. Further understandings of LOX-1 and its ligands as well as its versatile functions will direct us to ways to find novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular disease
