Identification and Characterization of Small Molecule Human Papillomavirus E6 Inhibitors
Cervical cancer is the sixth most common cancer in women worldwide and the leading cause of women's death in developing countries. Nearly all cervical cancers are associated with infection of the human papillomavirus (HPV). This sexually transmitted pathogen disrupts the cell cycle via two oncoproteins: E6 and E7. Cells respond to E7-mediated degradation of pRB by upregulating the p53 tumor sup...
متن کاملSmall molecule inhibitors that selectively block dengue virus methyltransferase.
Crystal structure analysis of Flavivirus methyltransferases uncovered a flavivirus-conserved cavity located next to the binding site for its cofactor, S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM). Chemical derivatization of S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH), the product inhibitor of the methylation reaction, with substituents that extend into the identified cavity, generated inhibitors that showed improved and sele...
متن کاملNon-Substrate Based, Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Human Isoprenylcysteine Carboxyl Methyltransferase.
Activating mutations of human K-Ras proteins are among the most common oncogenic mutations, present in approximately 30% of all human cancers. Posttranslational modifications to K-Ras guide it to the plasma membrane and disruption of this localization inhibits the growth of Ras-driven cancers. The human isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase (hIcmt) enzyme catalyzes the final α-carboxyl m...
متن کاملGlycine N-methyltransferase and regulation of S-adenosylmethionine levels.
Methylation is a major biological process. It has been shown to be important in formation of compounds such as phosphatidylcholine, creatine, and many others and also participates in epigenetic effects through methylation of histones and DNA. The donor of methyl groups for almost all cellular methylation reactions is S-adenosylmethionine. It seems that the level of S-adenosylmethionine must be ...
متن کاملDeficiency of S-adenosylmethionine-homocysteine methyltransferase activity in hepatoma cells.
S-Adenosylmethionine-homocysteine methyltransferase, which catalyzes synthesis of methionine from homocysteine, with the use of S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor, is absent in tumor tissue such as rat ascites hepatoma and Morris hepatoma but is present in rat liver homogenate. Absence of the enzymatic activity in tumor cells is not due to the action of an inhibitor. S-Adenosylhomocystein...
