A novel type of water-soluble prodrugs of cyclosporine A (CsA) is described, featuring a modular system of an enzyme-cleavable group, a solubilizing moiety and a chemodegradable spacer attached to the hydroxyl function of (4R)-4-[(E)-2-butenyl]-4-,N-dimeth ...
UDP-galacturonic acid, the activated form of galacturonic acid (GalUA), is synthesized both de novo and by salvage pathways. The UDP-GalUA pyrophosphorylase gene involved in the salvage pathway has not been identified. Here we show that UDP-sugar pyrophosp ...
We present a new antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy strategy (ADEPT) based on a post-proline cleaving endopeptidase and prodrugs, in which cytotoxic moieties are linked to a proline-contg. peptide. Human prolyl endopeptidase was expressed in Escheric ...
Structure and dynamics of substrate binding (cefotaxime) to the catalytic pocket of the mononuclear zinc-beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The calculations, which are based on the hydrogen-bond pattern ...
We describe two general methodologies, based on filter-sandwich assays, for isolating enzymic activities from a large repertoire of protein variants expressed in the cytoplasm of E. coli cells. The enzymes are released by the freezing and thawing of bacter ...
The activity of penicillin acylase has been studied in aq. and org. solvents, as free enzyme as well as immobilized within the membrane of liq.-core capsules. The activity of the enzyme is inhibited by the accumulation of the products of the hydrolysis rea ...
The emergence of drug-resistant variants is a serious side effect assocd. with acquired immune deficiency syndrome therapies based on inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease (HIV-1 PR). In these variants, compensatory mutations, usually ...
Combinatorial mutagenesis was used to investigate the role of three key residues in cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arg48, Trp51, and Trp191, in control of the reactivity and selectivity of the heme-contg. enzyme. Libraries wer ...
The structural features of the active site of human monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) were investigated by affinity labeling and site-directed mutagenesis. The pseudosubstrate inhibitor N-[2-aminoethyl]-5-chloro-2-pyridine carboxamide HCl (lazabemide) can be irr ...
Vibrio and Aeromonas spp. secrete an unusual 35-kDa lipase that shares several properties with mammalian lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The Aeromonas hydrophila lipase contains two cysteine residues that form an intramolecular disulfide bridge. Here ...
