Identification of potential inhibitors based on compound proposal contest: Tyrosine-protein kinase Yes as a target
A search of broader range of chemical space is important for drug discovery. Different methods of computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) are known to propose compounds in different chemical spaces as hit molecules for the same target protein. This study aimed at using multiple CADD methods through open innovation to achieve a level of hit molecule diversity that is not achievable with any particu...
متن کاملThe mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 has a pro-oncogenic role in skin cancer.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase 4 (MKK4) is a nonredundant component of stress-activated MAPK signaling modules. Its function in tumorigenesis remains highly controversial with some studies indicating that MKK4 is a tumor suppressor, whereas others have reported a pro-oncogenic role. To clarify the role of MKK4 in cancer, we have created a novel mouse model to test the effect...
متن کاملVirtual Target Screening: Validation Using Kinase Inhibitors
Computational methods involving virtual screening could potentially be employed to discover new biomolecular targets for an individual molecule of interest (MOI). However, existing scoring functions may not accurately differentiate proteins to which the MOI binds from a larger set of macromolecules in a protein structural database. An MOI will most likely have varying degrees of predicted bindi...
متن کاملp38delta mitogen-activated protein kinase regulates skin homeostasis and tumorigenesis.
The p38delta mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is abundantly expressed in a wide array of tissues where it is likely to have specific functions. This review aims to highlight recent new insights into the biological roles of this relatively less studied p38 isoform. We focus on function of p38delta in regulating of epidermal keratinocyte differentiation, apoptosis and skin tumor development.
متن کاملIdentification of a nonkinase target mediating cytotoxicity of novel kinase inhibitors.
In developing inhibitors of the LIM kinases, the initial lead molecules combined potent target inhibition with potent cytotoxic activity. However, as subsequent compounds were evaluated, the cytotoxic activity separated from inhibition of LIM kinases. A rapid determination of the cytotoxic mechanism and its molecular target was enabled by integrating data from two robust core technologies. High...
