Yeast-based assays for screening 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.
BACKGROUND Intracellular metabolism of glucocorticoid hormones plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and regulates, among many physiological processes, collagen metabolism in skin. At the peripheral level the concentration of active glucocorticoids is mainly regulated by the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme, involved in the conversion of cortisone...
متن کاملTools for characterizing bacterial protein synthesis inhibitors.
Many antibiotics inhibit the growth of sensitive bacteria by interfering with ribosome function. However, discovery of new protein synthesis inhibitors is curbed by the lack of facile techniques capable of readily identifying antibiotic target sites and modes of action. Furthermore, the frequent rediscovery of known antibiotic scaffolds, especially in natural product extracts, is time-consuming...
متن کاملPooled screening for anti-proliferative inhibitors of protein-protein interactions
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are emerging as a promising new class of drug targets. Here, we present a novel high-throughput approach to screen inhibitors of PPIs in cells. We designed a library of 50,000 human peptide-binding motifs and used a pooled lentiviral system to express them intracellularly and screen for their effects on cell proliferation. We thereby identified inhibitors tha...
متن کاملInhibitors of mammalian protein synthesis.
The number of antibiotics active on eukaryotic ribosomes has been considerably increased in the last few years. Some of them are active only in eukaryotic ribosomes whereas some others are active on prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic ribosomes (Table 1). There is ample evidence suggesting a sirnilar mechanism for the elongation cycle by prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. This evidence is main...
متن کاملInterpreting clinical assays for histone deacetylase inhibitors
As opposed to genetics, dealing with gene expressions by direct DNA sequence modifications, the term epigenetics applies to all the external influences that target the chromatin structure of cells with impact on gene expression unrelated to the sequence coding of DNA itself. In normal cells, epigenetics modulates gene expression through all development steps. When "imprinted" early by the envir...
