چکیده

Equilibrium binding experiments are widely used for the accurate characterization of binding and competitive binding behavior in biological systems. Modern high-throughput discovery efforts in chemical biology rely heavily upon this principle. Here, we derive exact analytical expressions for general competitive binding models which can also explain a commonly encountered phenomenon in these types of experiments, anticooperative incomplete displacement. We explore the effects of nonspecific binding behavior and parameter misestimation. All expressions are derived in terms of total concentrations determined a priori. We discuss a general framework for high-throughput screening assays based on fluorescence polarization and strategies for assay development, sensitivity regimes, data quality control, analysis, and ranking. Theoretical findings are visualized by simulations using realistic parameter sets. Our results are the basis for the discovery of small-molecule inhibitors of the protein-protein interaction between human calcineurin and NFAT transcription factors, as discussed in the subsequent paper (31).

Development of a Fluorescence Polarization Based High-Throughput Assay to Identify Casitas B-Lineage Lymphoma RING Domain Regulators

The E3 ubiquitin protein ligase Casitas B-lineage Lymphoma (Cbl) proteins and their binding partners play an important role in regulating signal transduction pathways. It is important to utilize regulators to study the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between these proteins. However, finding specific small-molecule regulators of PPIs remains a significant challenge due to the fact that the i...

Assay principle for modulators of protein-protein interactions and its application to non-ATP-competitive ligands targeting protein kinase A.

Targeting sites that modulate protein-protein interactions represents an ongoing challenge for drug discovery. We have devised an assay principle, named ligand-regulated competition (LiReC), in an effort to find non-ATP competitive small-molecule regulators for type Ialpha cAMP-dependent Protein kinase (PKA-Ialpha), a protein complex that is implicated in disease. Our assay based on the LiReC p...

Phenotypic screening of small molecule libraries by high throughput cell imaging.

We have developed high throughput fluorescence cell imaging methods to screen chemical libraries for compounds with effects on diverse aspects of cell physiology. We describe screens for compounds that arrest cells in mitosis, that block cell migration, and that block the secretory pathway. Each of these screens yielded specific inhibitors for research use, and the mitosis screen identified Eg5...

Differential scanning fluorimetry as secondary screening platform for small molecule inhibitors of Bcl-XL.

Since apoptosis is impaired in malignant cells overexpressing prosurvival Bcl-2 proteins, drugs mimicking their natural antagonists, BH3-only proteins, might overcome chemoresistance. Small molecule inhibitors of Bcl-X(L) function have been discovered from diverse structure classes using rational drug design as well as high-throughput screening (HTS) approaches. However, most of the BH3 mimetic...

Investigation the Mechanism of Interaction between Inhibitor ALISERTIB with Protein Kinase A and B Using Modeling, Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation

The high level of conservation in ATP-binding sites of protein kinases increasingly demandsthe quest to find selective inhibitors with little cross reactivity. Kinase kinases are a recently discovered group of Kinases found to be involved in several mitotic events. These proteins represent attractive targets for cancer therapy with several small molecule inhibitors undergoing different ph...
