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 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 کاملCrystal structure of human thymidine phosphorylase in complex with a small molecule inhibitor.
Human thymidine phosphorylase (HTP), also known as platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), is overexpressed in certain solid tumors where it is linked to poor prognosis. HTP expression is utilized for certain chemotherapeutic strategies and is also thought to play a role in tumor angiogenesis. We determined the structure of HTP bound to the small molecule inhibitor 5-chloro-6...
متن کاملDiscovery of a potent small molecule SIRT1/2 inhibitor with anticancer effects.
SIRT1 and SIRT2 are deacetylase enzymes that belong to the sirtuin family and are involved in tumorigenesis. In our screen for small molecules inhibiting SIRT1/2 toxoflavin was identified. Toxoflavin potently inhibited SIRT1 activity in in vitro deacetylase assay using purified SIRT1 protein. SIRT2 activity was also inhibited by toxoflavin less potently than SIRT1 in deacetylase assay in vitro....
