A microplate-based screening assay for neuraminidase inhibitors.
Neuraminidase (NA) represents a highly promising new target for drug development in influenza virus genes. Rapid screening of enzyme inhibitors is a key method for the identification of leading compounds. In order to speed up the screening for enzyme inhibitors of natural and synthetic origin, effective and fast assays are needed. 2'-(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4-MUNANA)...
متن کاملDevelopment of a high-throughput screening cancer cell-based luciferase refolding assay for identifying Hsp90 inhibitors.
The 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) and other cochaperones allow for proper folding of nascent or misfolded polypeptides. Cancer cells exploit these chaperones by maintaining the stability of mutated and misfolded oncoproteins and allowing them to evade proteosomal degradation. Inhibiting Hsp90 is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy, as the concomitant degradation of multiple oncoprotei...
متن کاملOptimization and Validation of a Cell-based Tyrosinase Assay for Screening of Tyrosinase Inhibitors
Tyrosinase is a key enzyme that catalyzes melanogenesis in human skin. It oxidizes tyrosine to L-3,4dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) and subsequently to dopachrome, which further polymerizes to melanin pigments. Therefore finding an effective tyrosinase inhibitor, either from synthetic or natural sources, is not only useful as skin whitening agents in cosmetic application, but also beneficial in...
متن کاملThe spindle assembly checkpoint
Italian in 1954, so Imanishi turned to the exploration of the unexplored wide range of Karakorum Himalayas, traversing the three major glaciers in 1955. Then, in 1958, Imanishi and Itani went to Africa for the first time. In the same year, Nishibori led the all-Japanese team which succeeded in the first over-wintering stay in Antarctica. Kuwabara led the Himalayan expedition of AACK to the firs...
متن کاملThe spindle checkpoint.
Every mitosis, replicated chromosomes must be accurately segregated into each daughter cell. Pairs of sister chromatids attach to the bipolar mitotic spindle during prometaphase, they are aligned at metaphase, then sisters separate and are pulled to opposite poles during anaphase. Failure to attach correctly to the spindle before anaphase onset results in unequal segregation of chromosomes, whi...
