A manganese-mediated dehydrogenative direct alkylation of 2-pyridones with diethyl malonates has been developed. A similar reaction system is applicable to the direct arylation with arylboronic acids. These manganese-based reactions occur regioselectively at the C3 position of the 2-pyridones. The observed high C3 regioselectivity can complement precedented C-H functionalization protocols of the 2-pyridones in view of the site selectivity.

Tumor Microenvironment Responsive Key Nanomicelles for Effective Against Invasion and Metastasis in Ovarian Cancer Using Mice Model.

Background: Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages, and it has a high potential for invasion and metastasis, along with a high rate of recurrence. These factors contribute to the poor prognosis and reduced survival times for patients with this disease. The effectiveness of conventional chemoradiotherapy remains limited.

Background: DNA methylation catalyzed by various DNA methyltransferases (DNA MTases) is one of the important epigenetic regulations in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Therefore, the detection of DNA MTase activity is a vital target and direction in the study of methylation-related diseases.
Results: In this study, an ultrasensitive and robust strategy was developed for DNA MTase activity sensing based on bifunctional probe propelling multipath strand displacement amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a techniques.
Probing ligand-induced conformational changes in an MFS transporter in vivo using site-directed PEGylation.

So far, site-directed alkylation (SDA) studies on transporters in the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) are mostly performed at conditions different from the native cellular environment. In this study, using GFP-based site-directed PEGylation, ligand-induced conformational changes in the lactose permease of Escherichia coli (LacY), were examined in vivo for the first time. Accessibility/reactivity of single-Cys replacements in a Cys-less LacY-eGFP fusion background was tested using methoxy polyethylene glycol-maleimide-5K (mPEG-Mal-5K) in the absence or presence of a ligand, and the band-shift of the fusion upon PEGylation was detected by in-gel fluorescence.

Zebularine-treated wheat uncovered a phenotype with characteristics of an epigenetically regulated trait, but major chromosomal aberrations, not DNA methylation changes, are the cause, making zebularine unsuitable for epigenetic breeding. Breeding to identify disease-resistant and climate-tolerant high-yielding wheats has led to yield increases over many years, but new hardy, higher yielding varieties are still needed to improve food security in the face of climate change. Traditional breeding to develop new cultivars of wheat is a lengthy process taking more than seven years from the initial cross to cultivar release.

Background: A subset of developmental disorders (DD) is characterized by disease-specific genome-wide methylation changes. These episignatures inform on the underlying pathogenic mechanisms and can be used to assess the pathogenicity of genomic variants as well as confirm clinical diagnoses. Currently, the detection of these episignature requires the use of indirect methylation profiling methodologies.
