Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans polysaccharide synthesis by molecules targeting glycosyltransferase activity.
Glycosyltransferase (Gtf) is one of the crucial virulence factors of Streptococcus mutans, a major etiological pathogen of dental caries. All the available evidence indicates that extracellular polysaccharide, particularly glucans produced by S. mutans Gtfs, contribute to the cariogenicity of dental biofilms. Therefore, inhibition of Gtf activity and the consequential polysaccharide synthesis m...
متن کاملInhibition of Nek2 by Small Molecules Affects Proteasome Activity
BACKGROUND Nek2 is a serine/threonine kinase localized to the centrosome. It promotes cell cycle progression from G2 to M by inducing centrosome separation. Recent studies have shown that high Nek2 expression is correlated with drug resistance in multiple myeloma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS To investigate the role of Nek2 in bortezomib resistance, we ectopically overexpressed Nek2 in seve...
متن کاملGlycosyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of thiooligosaccharides.
BACKGROUND Oligosaccharide analogues in which the interglycosidic oxygen atom(s) have been replaced by sulfur are known as thiooligosaccharides. These molecules are metabolically stable analogues of their naturally occurring counterparts, since the rate of hydrolysis of the thioglycosidic bond by glycosylhydrolases is several orders of magnitude slower than that of the corresponding Oglycosides...

متن کاملOne-step synthesis of novel glycosyltransferase inhibitors.
A one-step synthesis of two 5-CF(3) UDP-sugars is reported. These non-natural sugar-nucleotides are micromolar inhibitors of two different galactosyltransferases.
