Repurposing Suzuki Coupling Reagents as a Directed Fragment Library Targeting Serine Hydrolases and Related Enzymes

چکیده
Serine hydrolases are susceptible to potent reversible inhibition by boronic acids. Large collections of chemically diverse boronic acid fragments are commercially available because of their utility in coupling chemistry. We repurposed the approximately 650 boronic acid reagents in our collection as a directed fragment library targeting serine hydrolases and related enzymes. Highly efficient hits (LE > 0.6) often result. The utility of the approach is illustrated with the results against autotaxin, a phospholipase implicated in cardiovascular disease.

Potent and selective inhibition of membrane-type serine protease 1 by human single-chain antibodies.
Specific human antibodies targeting proteases expressed on cancer cells can be valuable reagents for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer. To this end, a phage-displayed antibody library was screened against a cancer-associated serine protease, MT-SP1. A protein inhibitor of serine proteases that binds to a defined surface of MT-SP1 was used in an affinity-based washing procedure. Six an...
متن کاملActivity based protein profiling to detect serine hydrolase alterations in virus infected cells
Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a newly emerging technique that uses active site-directed probes to monitor the functional status of enzymes. Serine hydrolases are one of the largest families of enzymes in mammals. More than 200 serine hydrolases have been identified, but little is known about their specific roles. Serine hydrolases are involved in a variety of physiological function...

In the present study, we carried out chemical synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4@PEG-Au as a magnetic nanocomposite in aqueous solution by chemical co-precipitation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions and encapsulated by poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) in order to enhancing hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and immobilizing gold ions in the presence of NaBH4 as a reducing agent. Nanostructures were characte...
