    TACC3-ch-TOG track the growing tips of microtubules independently of clathrin and Aurora-A phosphorylation

    The interaction between TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled coil protein 3) and the microtubule polymerase ch-TOG (colonic, hepatic tumor overexpressed gene) is evolutionarily conserved. Loading of TACC3–ch-TOG onto spindle microtubules requires the phosphorylation of TACC3 by Aurora-A kinase and the subsequent interaction of TACC3 with clathrin to form a microtubule binding surface. Whether there is a pool of TACC3–ch-TOG that is independent of clathrin in human cells, and what is the function of this pool, are open questions. Here, we report that TACC3 is recruited to the plus-ends of microtubules by its association with ch-TOG and that this pool is independent of phosphorylation and binding to clathrin. The plus-end binding of TACC3–ch-TOG persists in interphase and we propose that one cellular function of TACC3–ch-TOG is to modulate cell migration. We also describe the distinct subcellular pools of TACC3, ch-TOG and clathrin. TACC3 is often described as a centrosomal protein, but we show that there is no significant population of TACC3 at centrosomes. The delineation of distinct protein pools reveals a simplified view of how these proteins are organized and controlled by post-translational modification

    COUPLING OF THE C-H STRETCH TO LARGE-AMPLITUDE TORSION AND INVERSION MOTIONS: COMPARISON OF CH3{_3}CH2{_2}.^{.}, CH3{_3}OH2{_2}+^{+} AND CH3{_3}NH2{_2}

    Author Institution: Department of Polymer Science and Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron; Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron, OH 44325In each of the title molecules, torsional and inversion tunneling occurs between six equivalent minima. Coupling of these degrees of freedom to the CH stretch occurs via variation of the C-H stretching force constants as a function of the torsional (α\alpha) and inversion (τ\tau) angles. Maps of the couplings have been computed at the MP2/6-311++G(3df,2p) level. Both the single bond CH stretch force constants and the bilinear couplings between CH bonds are presented as a function of α\alpha and τ\tau. Although the torsional barriers differ by more than a factor of 20, the torsion-inversion-vibration coupling patterns are very similar for CH3{_3}NH2{_2} and CH3{_3}CH2{_2}.^{.}. On the other hand, the torsion-inversion-vibration coupling in the charged species CH3{_3}OH2{_2}+^{+} is much weaker

    NATURE OF TORSION-INVERSION COUPLING IN CH3_3NH2_2, CH3_3OH2+_2^+ AND CH3_3CH2_2\cdot

    Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron, OH; 44325-3601Two-dimensional torsion-inversion surfaces for methylamine, protonated methanol and ethyl radical were calculated and fit to a function containing a polynomial in the inversion angle(τ\tau) and trigonometric functions of the torsional angle(α\alpha). Calculations were done at the B3LYP, MP2, and CCSD(T) levels with the 6-311++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(3df, 2p) basis sets and partial optimization. CH3_3NH2_2, CH3_3OH2+_2^+ and CH3_3CH2_2\cdot have G12_{12} symmetry with 6-equivalent minima which are located by the various calculations at inversion angles 6.5 to 11; 42 to 45.5 and 52.5 to 55 degrees respectively on either side of planar. The three molecules have very different barriers to inversion ranging from no barrier for CH3_3CH2_2\cdot to 838 cm1^{-1} for CH3_3OH2+_2^+ to 1837 cm1^{-1} for CH3_3NH2_2. The dominant torsion-inversion coupling term in all cases has the form τcos3α\tau{cos3}\alpha

Within the interstellar medium there is a nonstatistical H/D isotopic abundance observed for isotopologues of CH3+_{3}^{+}. While classical trajectory calculations have been performed dissociating CH5+_{5}^{+} and CH4_{4}D+^{+} into the fragments, CH3+_{3}^{+} + H2_{2}, CH2_{2}D+^{+} + H2_{2} and CH3+_{3}^{+} + HD{}, these calculations do not account for a large portion of the available energy being tied up in the zero point energy of the reactants and products. Earlier work in our group on CH2_{2}D3+_{3}^{+}{} showed the deuterium atoms were localized to the CH3+_{3}^{+} group, rather than the H2_{2} moiety. Classical calculations fail to account for this observed localization, instead showing full delocalization of D between both CH3+_{3}^{+} and H2_{2}. With a quantum mechanical treatment, the energetics and wave functions will depend on which asymptotic channel is chosen, while in the classical treatment, these channels will be energetically equivalent. By performing Diffusion Monte Carlo simulations in Jacobi coordinates, we can constrain the distance between the CH3+_{3}^{+} and H2_2 subunits. Using this technique we have evaluated a one-dimensional reaction potential that includes the full anharmonic zero point energy in the remaining degrees of freedom and can determine how energetics of this reaction change upon partial deuteration of CH3+_{3}^{+} or H2_{2}. We have also evaluated the probability amplitude associated with the wave functions that are obtained in the DMC simulations at various values of the reaction coordinate
