Thermo-kinetic analysis space expansion for cyclophilin-ligand interactions; identification of a new non-peptide inhibitor using Biacore™ T200

We have established a refined methodology for generating surface plasmon resonance sensor surfaces of recombinant his‐tagged human cyclophilin‐A. Our orientation‐specific stabilisation approach captures his‐tagged protein under ‘physiological conditions’ (150 mm NaCl, pH 7.5) and covalently stabilises it on Ni(2+)‐nitrilotriacetic acid surfaces, very briefly activated for primary amine‐coupling reactions, producing very stable and active surfaces (≥ 95% specific activity) of cyclophilin‐A. Variation in protein concentration with the same contact time allows straightforward generation of variable density surfaces, with essentially no loss of activity, making the protocol easily adaptable for studying numerous interactions; from very small fragments, ~ 100 Da, to large protein ligands. This new method results in an increased stability and activity of the immobilised protein and allowed us to expand the thermo‐kinetic analysis space, and to determine accurate and robust thermodynamic parameters for the cyclophilin‐A–cyclosporin‐A interaction. Furthermore, the increased sensitivity of the surface allowed identification of a new nonpeptide inhibitor of cyclophilin‐A, from a screen of a fragment library. This fragment, 2,3‐diaminopyridine, bound specifically with a mean affinity of 248 ± 60 μm. The X‐ray structure of this 109‐Da fragment bound in the active site of cyclophilin‐A was solved to a resolution of 1.25 Å (PDB: 5LUD), providing new insight into the molecular details for a potential new series of nonpeptide cyclophilin‐A inhibitors

Considering Soil Potassium Pools with Dissimilar Plant Availability

Soil potassium (K) has traditionally been portrayed as residing in four functional pools: solution K, exchangeable K, interlayer (sometimes referred to as “fixed” or “nonexchangeable”) K, and structural K in primary minerals. However, this four-pool model and associated terminology have created confusion in understanding the dynamics of K supply to plants and the fate of K returned to the soil in fertilizers, residues, or waste products. This chapter presents an alternative framework to depict soil K pools. The framework distinguishes between micas and feldspars as K-bearing primary minerals, based on the presence of K in interlayer positions or three-dimensional framework structures, respectively; identifies a pool of K in neoformed secondary minerals that can include fertilizer reaction products; and replaces the “exchangeable” K pool with a pool defined as “surface-adsorbed” K, identifying where the K is located and the mechanism by which it is held rather than identification based on particular soil testing procedures. In this chapter, we discuss these K pools and their behavior in relation to plant K acquisition and soil K dynamics
