Article Synopsis
  • The DarTG toxin-antitoxin system features the DarT toxin, which disrupts DNA replication by modifying single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), thus impacting bacterial growth and phage infection.
  • DarG, the antitoxin, counteracts this effect by binding to DarT, but the details of how this interaction neutralizes the toxin were unclear until now.
  • Researchers determined the structure of the DarT-DarG complex and found that DarG prevents DarT from binding ssDNA, effectively inactivating the toxin through this protein-protein interaction, providing insight into its neutralization mechanism.

Background: 1,4-Diazepine derivatives are the seven membered, nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring systems possessing a wide range of therapeutic applications. 1,4-Diazepines attracted the attention of chemists and druggists due to their biological and medicinal properties, such as antimicrobial, anti-HIV and anticancer activities. Herein, we report the preparation, crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallographic methods and docking of the molecules with the potential target protein NS5B RNA polymerase.

In the title compound, [CoCl(CH5N)(C3H10N2)2]Cl2·H2O, the Co(III) ion has an octa-hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four N atoms of two propane-1,3-diamine ligands in the equatorial plane, with another N atom of the methylamine ligand and a Cl atom occupying the axial positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, N-H⋯Cl, and O-H⋯Cl inter-actions, generating a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, [CoCl(C2H7N)(C3H10N2)2]Cl2, the Co(III) ion has a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four N atoms in the equatorial plane, with the other N and Cl atoms occupying the axial positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a layered arrangement parallel to (1-10).
