Discovery of potent small-molecule inhibitors of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum using a novel miniaturized high-throughput luciferase-based assay.
Malaria is a global health problem that causes significant mortality and morbidity, with more than 1 million deaths per year caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Most antimalarial drugs face decreased efficacy due to the emergence of resistant parasites, which necessitates the discovery of new drugs. To identify new antimalarials, we developed an automated 384-well plate screening assay using P. fa...
متن کاملHigh-throughput platform assay technology for the discovery of pre-microrna-selective small molecule probes.
MicroRNAs (miRNA) play critical roles in human development and disease. As such, the targeting of miRNAs is considered attractive as a novel therapeutic strategy. A major bottleneck toward this goal, however, has been the identification of small molecule probes that are specific for select RNAs and methods that will facilitate such discovery efforts. Using pre-microRNAs as proof-of-concept, her...
متن کاملA High Throughput Screening Assay System for the Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of gsp
Mis-sense mutations in the α-subunit of the G-protein, Gsα, cause fibrous dysplasia of bone/McCune-Albright syndrome. The biochemical outcome of these mutations is constitutively active Gsα and increased levels of cAMP. The aim of this study was to develop an assay system that would allow the identification of small molecule inhibitors specific for the mutant Gsα protein, the so-called gsp onco...
متن کاملDevelopment of a high-throughput screening assay for the discovery of small-molecule SecA inhibitors.
A major pathway for bacterial preprotein translocation is provided by the Sec-dependent preprotein translocation pathway. Proteins destined for Sec-dependent translocation are synthesized as preproteins with an N-terminal signal peptide, which targets them to the SecYEG translocase channel. The driving force for the translocation reaction is provided by the peripheral membrane ATPase SecA, whic...
متن کاملIdentification of small-molecule inhibitors of RGS4 using a high-throughput flow cytometry protein interaction assay.
Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins are important components of signal transduction pathways initiated through G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). RGS proteins accelerate the intrinsic GTPase activity of G-protein alpha-subunits (Galpha) and thus shorten the time course and reduce the magnitude of G-protein alpha- and betagamma-subunit signaling. Inhibiting RGS action has been pro...
