Synthesis of terminal allenes via a copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reaction was developed. Aryl alkynyl carboxylic acid, paraformaldehyde, and dicyclohexylamine were reacted with CuI (20 mol %) in diglyme at 100 °C for 2 h to produce the terminal allene in moderate to good yields. The method showed good functional group tolerance.

Effect of trimetazidine on left ventricular functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a randomized controlled trial.
Sci Rep

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
We investigated the impact of trimetazidine treatment on left ventricular (LV) functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with diastolic dysfunction as an early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sixty-three patients were randomly assigned to receive either trimetazidine or a placebo for 3 months. At baseline and after 3-months of treatment, measurements of serum levels of glycemic control parameters, lipid profile, tumor necrosis factor alpha, transforming growth factor beta 1, n-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide and assessment of modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, echocardiographic indices of LV functions and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) were performed.

Department of Biomedicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.
N-terminal acetylation is a highly abundant protein modification in eukaryotic cells. This modification is catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases acting co- or post-translationally. Here, we review the eukaryotic N-terminal acetylation machinery: the enzymes involved and their substrate specificities.

Movement of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from myocytes or adipocytes to the capillary lumen is essential for intravascular lipolysis and plasma triglyceride homeostasis-low LPL activity in the capillary lumen causes hypertriglyceridemia. The trans-endothelial transport of LPL depends on ionic interactions with GPIHBP1's intrinsically disordered N-terminal tail, which harbors two acidic clusters at positions 5-12 and 19-30. This polyanionic tail provides a molecular switch that controls LPL detachment from heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) by competitive displacement.

Proteasome-dependent protein degradation and the digestion of peptides by aminopeptidases are essential for myogenesis. Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) are uniquely involved in, both, the proteasomal degradation of proteins and in the regulation of translation (via involvement in post-translational modification). Suppressing MetAP1 and MetAP2 expression inhibits the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts.

Inhibiting T cell exhaustion is an attractive cancer immunotherapy strategy. In this issue of Immunity, Waibl Polania et al. examine the microenvironmental signals regulating terminal T cell exhaustion and find that antigen presentation by tumor-associated macrophages, not tumor cells, drives terminal T cell exhaustion in glioblastoma.
