The results indicate that polyductin is part of the group of polycystic kidney disease (PKD)-related proteins expressed in primary apical cilia. Our data also suggest that, in addition to its likely involvement in cilia function, polyductin probably serves in other subcellular functional roles. The detection of three different products using two antisera, with evidence for distinct subcellular localizations, suggests that PKHD1 encodes membrane-bound and soluble isoforms.
[reaction: see text] The behavior of porphyrins as dipolarophiles in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with azomethine ylides was studied. Depending on the nature of the substituent groups on the porphyrin macrocycles, the reaction can give monoadducts (chlorins) or bisadducts (isobacteriochlorins and bacteriochlorins). When a large excess of azomethine ylide is used, trisadducts can also be obtained. Mixed isobacteriochlorin derivatives were prepared from the reaction of azomethine ylides with the chlorin monoadducts previously obtained via Diels-Alder reactions.
meso-Tetraarylporphyrins participate, as dipolarophiles, in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with azomethine ylides to yield novel chlorins and isobacteriochlorins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
