Crystallographic structure of a small molecule SIRT1 activator-enzyme complex
SIRT1, the founding member of the mammalian family of seven NAD(+)-dependent sirtuins, is composed of 747 amino acids forming a catalytic domain and extended N- and C-terminal regions. We report the design and characterization of an engineered human SIRT1 construct (mini-hSIRT1) containing the minimal structural elements required for lysine deacetylation and catalytic activation by small molecu...
متن کاملIdentification of a small molecule activator of SIRT1 gene expression
Increased SIRT1 expression exerts beneficial effects in transgenic animal models, ameliorating the onset and progression of aging-related disease phenotypes in various organs including the heart. The potential beneficial effects of SIRT1 have made SIRT1 a prime therapeutic target for age-related diseases and considerable efforts led to the identification of small molecule activator of SIRT1 pro...
متن کاملMechanistic characterization and crystal structure of a small molecule inactivator bound to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family. Excessive PAI-1 activity is associated with human disease, making it an attractive pharmaceutical target. However, like other serpins, PAI-1 has a labile structure, making it a difficult target for the development of small molecule inhibitors, and to date, there are no US Food and Drug A...
متن کاملSynthesis, Identification and Calculation of Complex Crystallographic Structure of Cobalt (II) with theLigand Heterocyclic Derived from Pyridine
A novel Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid mixed ligands complex of formula [Co(NO3)2].6H2O has been obtained by the reaction of Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid with cobalt nitrate and 1,10-phenanthroline on heating in water. The structures of [Co(pydc)(Phen)(H2O)](pydcH2).4H2O receptors, and their complexes were optimized using DFT method at the B3LYP/3-21G** level. The highest occupied molecular o...
متن کاملSmall-molecule metabolism: an enzyme mosaic.
Escherichia coli has been a popular organism for studying metabolic pathways. In an attempt to find out more about how these pathways are constructed, the enzymes were analysed by defining their protein domains. Structural assignments and sequence comparisons were used to show that 213 domain families constitute approximately 90% of the enzymes in the small-molecule metabolic pathways. Catalyti...
