Acceleration of an aldo-keto reductase by minimal loop engineering

چکیده
Aldo-keto reductases tighten coenzyme binding by forming a hydrogen bond across the pyrophosphate group of NAD(P)(H). Mutation of the hydrogen bonding anchor Lys24 in Candida tenuis xylose reductase prevents fastening of the "safety belt" around NAD(H). The loosened NAD(H) binding leads to increased turnover numbers (k(cat)) for reductions of bulky-bulky ketones at constant substrate and coenzyme affinities (i.e. K(m Ketone), K(m NADH)).

Berberine inhibits androgen synthesis by interaction with aldo-keto reductase 1C3 in 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 has recently been regarded as a potential therapeutic target in castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Herein, we investigated whether berberine delayed the progression of castrate-resistant prostate cancer by reducing androgen synthesis through the inhibition of Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3. Cell viability and cellular testosterone content were mea...
متن کاملAldo-keto reductase 1C2 fails to metabolize doxorubicin and daunorubicin in vitro.
The anthracycline drugs are important for the treatment of a number of malignancies; however, their clinical use is associated with dose-dependent severe chronic cardiotoxicity. Although the mechanism for this side effect has not yet been identified, the alcohol metabolites formed during daunorubicin (DAUN) and doxorubicin (DOX) therapies have been implicated. The alcohol metabolites of DAUN an...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of polyphenols isolated from Rhus verniciflua on Aldo-keto reductase family 1 B10.
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 B10 (AKR1B10) is a member of the NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, and has been considered to be a potential cancer therapeutic target. Total extract from the bark of Rhus verniciflua (Toxicodendron vernicifluum (Stokes)) showed AKR1B10 inhibitory activity. To identify the active compounds from R. verniciflua responsible for AKR1B10 inhibition, ...
متن کاملComparative anatomy of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily.
The aldo-keto reductases metabolize a wide range of substrates and are potential drug targets. This protein superfamily includes aldose reductases, aldehyde reductases, hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and dihydrodiol dehydrogenases. By combining multiple sequence alignments with known three-dimensional structures and the results of site-directed mutagenesis studies, we have developed a structure/...
متن کاملAldo-keto reductase family 1 member B8 is secreted via non-classical pathway.
Mouse aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B8 (AKR1B8) has the highest similarity to human aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10), a secretory protein through lysosomes-mediated non-classical secretory pathway. To identify whether AKR1B8 is secreted through the same pathway, we carried out this study. Self-developed sandwich ELISA and western blot were used to detect AKR1B8 in cells a...
