The TeII/TeIII‐catalyzed dehydrogenative C−H phenothiazination of challenging phenols featuring electron‐withdrawing substituents under mild aerobic conditions and with high yields is described. These unexpected TeII/TeIII radical catalytic properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, EPR spectroscopy, kinetic experiments, and DFT calculations.
Background: Connecdenns are GEFs for Rab35, a GTPase controlling endocytic recycling. Regulation of connecdenn function is unknown. Results: The GEF activity of connecdenn 1 and 2 are autoinhibited, and this is regulated by Akt activation downstream of insulin stimulation. Conclusion: Phosphorylation of connecdenn by Akt may provide a mechanism to control cargo recycling. Significance: Signaling pathways impinge on membrane-trafficking pathways.
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.
