A Potent Anti-influenza Compound Blocks Fusion through Stabilization of the Prefusion Conformation of the Hemagglutinin Protein
An ultrahigh-throughput screen was performed to identify novel small molecule inhibitors of influenza virus replication. The screen employed a recombinant influenza A/WSN/33 virus expressing Renilla luciferase and yielded a hit rate of 0.5%, of which the vast majority showed little cytotoxicity at the inhibitory concentration. One of the top hits from this screen, designated S20, inhibits HA-me...

متن کاملRegulation of protein kinases; controlling activity through activation segment conformation.
There are currently at least forty-six unique protein kinase crystal structures, twenty-four of which are available in an active state. Here we examine these structures using a structural bioinformatics approach to understand how the conformation of the activation segment controls kinase activity.
متن کاملDramatic acceleration of protein folding by stabilization of a nonnative backbone conformation.
Through a mutagenic investigation of Gly-48, a highly conserved position in the Src homology 3 domain, we have discovered a series of amino acid substitutions that are highly destabilizing, yet dramatically accelerate protein folding, some up to 10-fold compared with the wild-type rate. The unique folding properties of these mutants allowed for accurate measurement of their folding and unfoldin...
متن کاملCharacterizing protein conformation space
In this work, we propose a radical approach for exploring the space of all possible protein structures. We present techniques to explore the clash-free conformation space, which comprises all protein structures whose atoms are not in selfcollision. Unlike energy based methods, this approach allows efficient exploration and remains general – the benefits of characterization of the space apply to...
