Novel Inhibitors of E. coli RecA ATPase Activity
The bacterial RecA protein has been implicated as a bacterial drug target not as an antimicrobial target, but as an adjuvant target with the potential to suppress the mechanism by which bacteria gain drug resistance. In order to identify small molecules that inhibit RecA/ssDNA nucleoprotein filament formation, we have adapted the phosphomolybdate-blue ATPase assay for high throughput screening ...
متن کاملMolecular docking based screening of Noggin inhibitors
Noggin (NOG) a BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) antagonist plays a key role in preferentially driving a subset of breast cancer cells towards the bone and causing osteolytic lesions leading to severe pain and discomfort in the patients. Owing to its role in bone metastasis, NOG could be promising molecular target in bone metastasis and that identifying small molecule inhibitors could aid in the...
متن کاملMolecular docking based screening of Listeriolysin-O for improved inhibitors
Listeriolysine-O (LLO) is a 50KDa protein responsible for Listeria monocytogenes pathogenicity. The structure of LLO (PDB ID: 4CDB) with domains D1 to D4 is known. Therefore, it is of interest to identify conserved regions among LLO variants for destabilizing oligomerization (50 mer complex) of its monomers using appropriate inhibitors. Therefore, it is of interest to identify suitable inhibito...
متن کاملPcrA-mediated disruption of RecA nucleoprotein filaments—essential role of the ATPase activity of RecA
The essential DNA helicase, PcrA, regulates recombination by displacing the recombinase RecA from the DNA. The nucleotide-bound state of RecA determines the stability of its nucleoprotein filaments. Using single-molecule fluorescence approaches, we demonstrate that RecA displacement by a translocating PcrA requires the ATPase activity of the recombinase. We also show that in a 'head-on collisio...
متن کاملCooperative Conformational Transitions Keep RecA Filament Active During ATPase Cycle
The active, stretched conformation of the RecA filament bound to single-stranded DNA is required for homologous recombination. During this process, the RecA filament mediates the homology search and base pair exchange with a complementary sequence. Subsequently, the RecA filament dissociates from DNA upon reaction completion. ATP binding and hydrolysis is critical throughout these processes. Li...
