Reduction of the Fe complex [( PP )FeCl ] (2) generated an electron-rich and unsaturated Fe species, which was reacted with white phosphorus. The resulting new complex, [( PP )Fe(η -P )] (3), is the first iron cyclo-P complex and the only known stable end-deck cyclo-P complex outside Group V. Complex 3 features an Fe center, as shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy, associated to a P fragment. The distinct reactivity of complex 3 was rationalized by analysis of the molecular orbitals. Reaction of complex 3 with H afforded the unstable complex [( PP )Fe(η -P )(H)] (4), whereas with CuCl and BCF, the complexes [( PP )Fe(η :η -P )(μ-CuCl)] (5) and [( PP )Fe(η :η -P )B(C F ) ] (6) were formed.

The endothelium is the gatekeeper of vessel health, and its dysfunction is pivotal in driving atherogenesis. Here, we present a protocol to replicate endothelial-macrophage crosstalk during atherogenesis, called the "atherogenesis-on-chip" model, based on the Emulate dual-channel perfusion system. We describe a model for studying endothelial-macrophage interactions during atherogenesis in human aortic endothelial cells and human macrophages using qPCR and secretome analysis, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry.

The plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) plays an essential role in the transcription of the chloroplast genome. Here, we present a strategy to purify the transcriptionally active protein complex from transplastomic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines in which one of the PEP core subunits is fused to an epitope tag. We describe experimental procedures for designing transformation constructs for PEP purification, selection, and analysis of transplastomic tobacco plants.

Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTorC1) activity plays a crucial role in brain development. Here, we present an approach for rapamycin microinjection into the habenula of larval zebrafish to achieve localized inhibition of the mTorC1 pathway and explore the role of mTorC1 in habenula function. We describe steps for performing microinjections and maintaining zebrafish larvae before and after the procedure.

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), composed of the core subunits EED, SUZ12, and either EZH1 or EZH2, is critical for maintaining cellular identity in multicellular organisms. PRC2 deposits H3K27me3, which is thought to recruit the canonical form of PRC1 (cPRC1) to promote gene repression. Here, we show that EZH1-PRC2 and cPRC1 are the primary Polycomb complexes on target genes in non-dividing, quiescent cells.

Interleukin (IL)-7 promotes T cell expansion during lymphopenia. We studied the metabolic basis in CD4 T cells, observing increased glucose usage for nucleotide synthesis and oxidation in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Unlike other TCA metabolites, glucose-derived citrate does not accumulate upon IL-7 exposure, indicating diversion into other processes.
