Biosynthetic Engineering for the Assembly of Better Drugs
The declining prospects of innovator pharmaceutical companies have been attributed to their inability to discover leads that bind to novel protein domains. All of the 21,000-odd drug products that have ever been approved by the US FDA bind to just 130 of the over 10,000 functional protein domains that exist in the human body. The high degree of drug redundancy, in turn, stems from the industry’...
متن کاملDNA-guided assembly of biosynthetic pathways promotes improved catalytic efficiency
Synthetic scaffolds that permit spatial and temporal organization of enzymes in living cells are a promising post-translational strategy for controlling the flow of information in both metabolic and signaling pathways. Here, we describe the use of plasmid DNA as a stable, robust and configurable scaffold for arranging biosynthetic enzymes in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli. This involved conv...
متن کاملUse of biosynthetic fractional 13C-labeling for backbone NMR assignment of proteins.
We describe a simple approach to classify amino acid residue types in NMR spectra of proteins for supporting the backbone resonance assignments. It makes use of the differences in biosynthetic pathways of the 20 amino acids in Escherichia coli. Therefore, it is distinct from the parameters routinely exploited in the backbone resonance assignment such as chemical shifts and spin topology informa...
متن کاملPhosphatidylglycerol as biosynthetic precursor for the poly(glycerol phosphate) backbone of bifidobacterial lipoteichoic acid.
Phosphatidylglycerol functions as donor of the sn-glycerol 1-phosphate units in the synthesis in vitro of the 1,2-phosphodiester-linked glycerol phosphate backbone of the lipoteichoic acids of Bifidobacterium bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum. The incorporation was catalysed by a membrane-bound enzyme system. After addition of chloroform/methanol the product formed coprecipitated with protein. The ...
متن کاملCytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B competitively inhibits the transport of uridine and thymidine by Novikoff rat hepatoma cells growing in suspension culture with apparent K(i)'s of 2 and 6 microM, respectively, but has no effect on the intracellular phosphorylation of the nucleosides. Choline transport is not affected by cytochalasin B. Results from pulse-chase experiments indicate that cytochalasin B has no dire...
