This strategy identified a previously unknown, Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific lipid, 1-tuberculosinyladenosine, which is produced by the Rv3378c enzyme, and establishes its role as a tuberculo-prenyl transferase and suggests a revised biosynthetic pathway for the sequential action of Rv 3377c-Rv 3378c.

The principles and advances of resolution through enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction are discussed, and the following extractant classes are considered: crown ether based extractants, metal complexes and metalloids, extractants based on tartrates, and a final section with all other types of chiral extractants.
CD1c tetramers detect ex vivo T cell responses to processed phosphomycoketide antigens
CD1c tetramers loaded with a phospholipid antigen from M. tuberculosis are recognized by human T cells and are distinguished from normal T cells by the immune system.

This finding challenges theories that assume that intrinsic instability of mixed membranes led to the “lipid divide” and the subsequent differentiation of bacteria and archaea and paves the way for future membrane engineering of industrial production organisms with improved robustness.

A general method for the catalytic 1,2-addition of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids to isatins is described using a rhodium(I)/triphenylphosphite catalyst and allows the synthesis of a variety of 3-aryl-3-hydroxyoxindole building blocks in high yields.
