Mechanistic studies of Sansalvamide A-amide: an allosteric modulator of Hsp90.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein we show that San A-amide, a structurally unique molecule, influences a subset of cancer-related pathways involving Hsp90. We show that San A-amide specifically binds to the N-middle domain of Hsp90 allosterically disrupts the binding of proteins thought to interact with the Hsp90 C-terminal domain, while having no effect on an N-terminal domain client protein. This unique mechanism suggests that San A-amide is a potential tool for studying C-terminal binding proteins of Hsp90 as well as a promising lead in the development of new cancer therapeutics.

A mechanistic and structural analysis of the inhibition of the 90-kDa heat shock protein by the benzoquinone and hydroquinone ansamycins.
The benzoquinone ansamycins inhibit the ATPase activity of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90), disrupting the function of numerous client proteins involved in oncogenesis. In this study, we examine the role of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in the metabolism of trans- and cis-amide isomers of the benzoquinone ansamycins and their mechanism of Hsp90 inhibition. Inhibition of purified...
متن کاملOptimization of Chemical Functionalities of Indole-2-carboxamides To Improve Allosteric Parameters for the Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1)
5-Chloro-3-ethyl-N-(4-(piperidin-1-yl)phenethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (1; ORG27569) is a prototypical allosteric modulator for the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1). Here, we reveal key structural requirements of indole-2-carboxamides for allosteric modulation of CB1: a critical chain length at the C3-position, an electron withdrawing group at the C5-position, the length of the linker betwee...

Obesity is an important public health problem worldwide. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that obesity is associated with an increased risk of several cancer types. Also, obesity is associated with an increase in cancer mortality. Biological mechanisms and the relationship between obesity and cancer are complex and not well understood. Studies on the role of adiposederived factors in c...
متن کاملNootropic alpha7 nicotinic receptor allosteric modulator derived from GABAA receptor modulators.
Activation of brain alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (alpha7 nAChRs) has broad therapeutic potential in CNS diseases related to cognitive dysfunction, including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. In contrast to direct agonist activation, positive allosteric modulation of alpha7 nAChRs would deliver the clinically validated benefits of allosterism to these indications. We have genera...
متن کاملMechanistic studies on Hsp90 inhibition by ansamycin derivatives.
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is required for the maturation and activation of a number of client proteins, many of which are involved in cancer development. The ansamycin family of natural products and their derivatives, such as geldanamycin (GA), are well-known inhibitors of the essential ATPase activity of Hsp90. Despite structural studies on the complexes of an...
