Bacterial small-molecule signaling pathways.
Bacteria use diverse small molecules for extra- and intracellular signaling. They scan small-molecule mixtures to access information about both their extracellular environment and their intracellular physiological status, and based on this information, they continuously interpret their circumstances and react rapidly to changes. Bacteria must integrate extra- and intracellular signaling informa...
متن کاملDiscovery of small molecule inhibitors of MyD88-dependent signaling pathways using a computational screen
In this study, we used high-throughput computational screening to discover drug-like inhibitors of the host MyD88 protein-protein signaling interaction implicated in the potentially lethal immune response associated with Staphylococcal enterotoxins. We built a protein-protein dimeric docking model of the Toll-interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain of MyD88 and identified a binding site for docking s...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibitors of the Candida albicans Budded-to-Hyphal Transition Act through Multiple Signaling Pathways
The ability of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans to interconvert between budded and hyphal growth states, herein termed the budded-to-hyphal transition (BHT), is important for C. albicans development and virulence. The BHT is under the control of multiple cell signaling pathways that respond to external stimuli, including nutrient availability, high temperature, and pH. Previous studies ide...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Therapeutics Identification, Mechanism of Action, and Antitumor Activity of a Small Molecule Inhibitor of Hippo, TGF-b, and Wnt Signaling Pathways
Embryonic signaling pathways, in particular thosemediated byWnt andTGF-b, are known to play key roles in tumor progression through the induction of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Their simultaneous targeting could therefore represent a desirable anticancer strategy.On the basis of recent findings that bothWnt and TGF-b–associated pathways are regulated by Hippo signaling in mammalian ...
متن کاملDissecting Dynamic Allosteric Pathways Using Chemically Related Small-Molecule Activators.
The allosteric mechanism of the heterodimeric enzyme imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase was studied in detail with solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. We studied IGPS in complex with a series of allosteric activators corresponding to a large range of catalytic rate enhancements (26- to 4,900-fold), in which ligand binding is entropically drive...
