Ligand and substrate migration in human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase.
Human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (hIDO), a monomeric heme enzyme, catalyzes the oxidative degradation of L-Trp and other indoleamine derivatives. Using Fourier transform infrared and optical absorption spectroscopy, we have investigated the interplay between ferrous hIDO, the ligand analog CO, and the physiological substrate L-Trp. These data provide the long sought evidence for two distinct L...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Substrate Inhibition in Human Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase catalyzes the O(2)-dependent oxidation of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) to N-formylkynurenine (NFK) as part of the kynurenine pathway. Inhibition of enzyme activity at high L-Trp concentrations was first noted more than 30 years ago, but the mechanism of inhibition has not been established. Using a combination of kinetic and reduction potential measurements, we present eviden...
متن کاملEffect of gold nanoparticles on superoxide dismutase and indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase in various rat tissues.
Gold nanoparticles have diverse applications and are being used in food and cosmetic industry, for drug delivery and in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However there is a need to study their biochemical mode of action. In this study, in vivo effect of gold nanoparticles on the activities of the two antioxidant enzymes -superoxide dismutase (SOD) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) was ...
متن کاملIndoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Immunological Tolerance during Pregnancy
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of tryptophan, is expressed by a variety of cells and tissues such as macrophages, dendritic cells, cells of the endocrine system and by the placenta. IFN- γ is the main inducer of this enzyme. IDO acts as an important defense mechanism of innate immunity against pathogens. It also has tumor suppressive activity and prolong...
متن کاملSynthesis and Molecular Modeling Studies of N'-Hydroxyindazolecarboximidamides as Novel Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) Inhibitors.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an immunosuppressive enzyme that is highly overexpressed in various cancer cells and antigen-presenting cells. It has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy, which has prompted high interest in the development of small-molecule inhibitors. To discover novel IDO1 inhibitors, we designed and synthesized a series of N'-hydroxyin...
