Type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) are stem in the adult lung that contribute to lower airway repair. Agents promote selective expansion of these might stimulate regeneration compromised epithelium, an etiology-defining event several pulmonary diseases. From a high-content imaging screen drug repurposing library ReFRAME, we identified dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors, widely used type diabetes medications, selectively expand AEC2s and broadly efficacious mouse models damage....
The proteins of trans-acyltransferase modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) self-organize into assembly lines, enabling the multienzyme biosynthesis complex organic molecules. Docking domains comprised ∼25 residues at C- and N-termini these polypeptides (CDDs NDDs) help drive this association through formation four-helix bundles. Molecular connectors like are desired in synthetic contexts, such as artificial biocatalytic systems biomaterials, to orthogonally join proteins. Here, ability six...
Abstract A central regulator of metabolism, transcription factor carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) senses and responds to dietary glucose levels by stimulating the glycolytic lipogenic enzymes. Genetic depletion ChREBP rescues β-cell dysfunction arising from high levels, suggesting that inhibiting might represent an attractive therapeutic approach manage diabetes other metabolic diseases. However, molecular mechanisms governing activation are poorly understood chemical...
Small molecule dyes remain essential biological tools, yet only a handful of environmentally responsive fluorogenic small molecules are available for routine characterization protein state. Here, we report the development and execution high throughput screen to identify compounds that increase in fluorescence response binding lipophilic sites proteins. This effort yielded two potently indicate presence range common proteins outperform differential scanning fluorimetry experiments. Structure...
Cysteine reactive groups are a mainstay in the design of covalent drugs and probe molecules, yet only handful electrophiles routinely used to target this amino acid. Here, we report development scalable thiol reactivity (STRP), method which enables facile interrogation large chemical libraries for intrinsic with cysteine. High throughput screening using STRP identified azetidinyl oxadiazole as moiety that selectively reacts cysteine through ring opening-based mechanism, capable covalently...
