Resumo: A Adenosina Quinase (ADK) é uma enzima importante (EC 2.7.1.20), cuja ação pode estar relacionada a diversas doenças, tais como inflamações, derrame, infarto, entre outras. Desse modo, a inibição de sua atividade é de grande importância, e desperta interesse científico. Na tentativa de inibir a ação da ADK, houve busca por compostos orgânicos cuja capacidade inibitória seja superior comparando-se com inibidores da ADK existentes. Desse modo, derivados de 4-anilinoquinazolinas mostraram-se alvos interessantes. Foi sintetizada uma série de 22 derivados de 8-metóxi-4-anilinoquinazolinas, substituídas nas posições 3'e 4'do anel anilínico. Os compostos sintetizados foram caracterizados e testados frente à ADK, de forma a verificar seu potencial inibitório, principalmente através da técnica de fluorescência de emissão. Da série de compostos, seis apresentaram-se promissores na inibição da ADK. Ensaios in silico também foram realizados, buscando-se uma melhor compreensão do mecanismo de inibição do sistema compostos/ADK
Abstract: The Adenosine Kinase (ADK) is an important enzyme (EC 2.7.1.20) that might be related to several diseases, such as inflammation, stroke and infarct, and many others. Therefore, its activity inhibition is of great importance, arising significant scientific interest. Aiming ADKs inhibition, a search for suitable organic species was realized, in such way that 4-anilinoquinazoline derivatives showed themselves interesting targets. A serie of 22 8-methoxy-4-anilinequinazoline derivatives, substituted on the aniline ring at 3'and 4'positions, was synthesized. The compounds were characterized and tested in in vitro ADKs inhibition, in order to verify their inhibitory potentials, mainly applying emission fluorescence technique. Six compounds of this serie presented promising properties in ADKs inhibition. In silico assays were also conducted, in order to better explain the inhibitory mechanism of the system compounds/ADK

Full textThe search for new compounds to prevent or attenuate skin aging is a priority in current research in cosmetics. In this context, Asian Hornet venom (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) has been studied as a particular source of potentially bioactive molecules for dermacosmetic interest.The first study focused on the implementation of a reliable venom extraction and sampling protocol. Then, the peptide - small molecules fraction was selected to evaluate, in comparison with crude venom, the presence of active molecules with respect to antioxidant, anti-microbial (C. acnes) and enzyme inhibition (tyrosinase, elastase, collagenase) activity in-tubo and in-cellulo. These studies led to the identification in crude venom, by UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-HRMS/MS, of one molecule responsible for antioxidant activity on HaCaT keratinocytes.In a second study, a peptidomic approach based on UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-HRMS/MS followed by statistical processing (PCA, PLS-DA) was applied to the differential study of venom, according to the collection period, castes and behavior. The latter aims at evaluating the influence of these different factors on the venom molecular heritage. At the same time, in a third study, a ligand/enzyme interaction screening approach by mass spectrometry on solid-supported elastase enzymes was developed. The aim of this method is to detect the presence of inhibitors or substrates in more or less complex fractions. Two hornet venom peptides presenting in the hornet venom were identified to be capable of interacting with the enzyme elastase. Their peptide sequences were then partially obtained by de novo sequencing

Full textEnzymes are very appreciated and useful in various application fields from agri-business to therapeutic due to theirdiversity of actions. Therefore, their action mechanisms are widely studied in order to enhance an action (anti-aging ofskin, antiviral, antitumorous) or a synthesis process. This research project is part of the approach to propose analyticaltools based on mass spectrometry, allowing rapid and sensitive follow-up of enzyme-ligand interactions.In a first study, the Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) approach coupled with UV detection was evaluated forthe determination of invertase kinetic constants. This approach coupled with a MALDI / TOF-MS led to theidentification of invertase substrates in plant extracts. As a proof of concept, the cellobiohydrolase II - ligand interactionwas presented in the framework of the identification of inhibitor by TLC-MALDI / TOF and TLC-ENALDI MS.In the second study, our work aimed at developing a direct method for the determination of kinetic parametersof kinases and following-up the phosphorylation reactions of endogenous nucleosides / tides. These studies, based on“off-line” (Flow Injection Analysis, FIA) and “on-line” (Frontal Affinity Chromatography, FAC) approaches coupledwith a high-resolution mass spectrometer, were carried out using free and immobilized kinases. In the context of thesearch for new antiviral drug candidates, a specific phosphorylation of synthetic molecules regards to human or viralkinase was also evaluated by these both approaches

Full textThe thesis is constituted of three main parts, the Cu coordination, the Zn inhibition and the far infrared. The vibrations of the Cu-poly-L-Histidine complexes have been studied in the mid and far infrared ranges as a function of pH. The Cu coordination by the amyloid-beta 16 peptide is a critical step in the development of Alzheimer' s. La coordination du Cu par l'amyloïde- beta16 est une étape déterminante dans l' apparition de la maladie d'Alzheimer. The spectra of the Cu-amyloid-beta16 complexes have been recorded in the mid infrared domain and the use of isotopically labelled samples allowed revealing the coordination sphere of Cu within the amyloid-beta16. Ln the second part, the mid infrared domain was used to study the respiratory chain enzymes. Zn cations are known to inhibit the proton pumping by the respiratory complexes. To better understand the effect of the inhibition by Zn on the complexes III and IV, the FTIR difference spectroscopy was used. The data shows that the chelation of Zn by the complex III takes places via E295 residue. The inhibition of the complex VI takes place via two binding sites, one of theme corresponds to the E78 residuee of the subunit JI. Finally, the far infrared spectroscopy of proteins has been developed. This spectral domain offers a unique tool to observe the metal-ligand vibration, the amide VI band, as weil as the hydrogen bonding signature of proteins

Full textWe propose a set of methods to design molecular systems. We start from naturally optimized components, namely proteins. Proteins can act as structural components, information transporters, or catalysts. We use computational methods to complement experiments and design protein systems.First, we fully redesigned a PDZ domain involved in metabolic pathways. We used a physics-based approach combining molecular mechanics, continuum electrostatics, and Monte Carlo sampling. Thousands of variants predicted to adopt the PDZ fold were selected. Three were validated experimentally. Two showed binding of the natural peptide ligand.Next, we redesigned the active site of the methionyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme (MetRS). We used an adaptive Monte Carlo method to select variants for methionine (Met) binding. Out of 17 predicted variants that were tested experimentally, 17 were found to be active. We extended the method to transition state binding to select mutants directly according to their catalytic power.We redesigned the MetRS binding site to obtain activity towards two β-amino acids, in order to expand the genetic code. These unnatural amino acids can enhance the structural repertoire of proteins. 20 predicted mutants were tested. Although none had increased β-Met activity, three had a gain in selectivity for β-Met. We then implemented a method to select optimal positions for design and applied it to β-Met and β-Val. Around 20 variants are being experimental tested.Finally, in vivo protein modifications raise the question of their eventual drift away from the original design. We introduce here a design approach for overlapping genes coding PDZ domains. This overlap would reduce genetic drift and provide bio-confinement. We computationally produced almost 2000 pairs of overlapping PDZ domains. One was validated by 2 microsecond molecular dynamic simulations. Experiments are underway

Neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 8 (Nedd8) is a highly conserved eukaryotic ubiquitin-like protein. It is conjugated to its substrates in a process known as NEDDylation which comprises an E1-E2-E3 enzymatic cascade similar to ubiquitination. Dysregulated NEDDylation is implicated in the pathogenesis of many human diseases and the components of the NEDDylation pathway may accordingly be of potential therapeutic importance. Cullin–RING ubiquitin E3 ligases (CRLs) are the most prominent class of ubiquitin-ligases. Rbx1/Roc1, a RING finger protein, functions as an important component of CRLs. Modification of cullins by Nedd8 has been shown to activate CRLs and it was suggested that Rbx1 acts as the E3 for cullin NEDDylation. In other words, Rbx1 interacts first with Ubc12, the NEDDylation E2, to neddylate cullins and activate CRLs. Rbx1 then, in the context of activated CRL holo-enzyme, interacts with the ubiquitination E2s to promote substrates ubiqutination. Rbx1 is thus a dual - functioning E3 and switches its role in the processes of CRLs NEDDylation and the following substrates ubiquitination. The role-switching mechanism of Rbx1 as a dual- functioning E3 remains elusive. To answer this question, deciphering the precise surfaces of Rbx1/ubiquitination E2 versus Rbx1/NEDDylation E2 interactions is a top priority. Here we report that His88, Pro121, Val122, and the unique N-terminal extension of Ubc12 are implicated in the interaction with Rbx1 in yeast two-hybrid system. Ile54, Pro95, and Leu96 of Rbx1 are also shown to be important for the interaction between Ubc12 and Rbx1 in yeast two-hybrid system. The implications of Rbx1 I54 / P95 / L96 in cullin NEDDylation were further demonstrated in baculovirus-insect cell system. More work is necessary to reveal the full picture of both Rbx1/ubiquitination E2 and Rbx1/NEDDylation E2 interaction surfaces.

Full textCell adaption to the external environment relies on proper signal transduction that is orchestrated by a plethora of molecular events. Among these molecular events, post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins help to spatiotemporally integrate, translate and dispatch signals so cells can respond to external stimuli. Among these post-translational modifications, the Ubiquitin-like proteins (Ublps) play a major role in almost all signaling pathways. This thesis reports functional and structural studies of the covalent and non-covalent interactions between the Small Ubiquitin-related MOdifier (SUMO), a member of the Ublps family, and three scaffold proteins, TIF1beta, the corepressor of KRAB-Multifinger proteins, PIAS1, a SUMO E3 ligase and the Promyleocytic leukemia (PML) tumor suppressor protein. The first study reports the identification and the biochemical characterization of TIF1betaSUMOylation sites. We mapped six SUMOylation sites in TIF1beta and determined that the covalent modification of these sites by SUMO is essential for its transcriptional repression activity. In addition, we present evidence indicating that SUMOylation of TIF1beta requires not only its ability to homo-oligomerize, but is positively regulated through its interaction with KRAB domains found in zinc-finger proteins. Based on this finding, we postulate that these KRAB domain containing multifinger proteins not only recruit TIF1beta co-repressor to target genes but also increase its repressive activity through enhancement of its SUMOylation. The work in the second study reveals that in addition to suppressing transcription as a covalent PTM, SUMO plays an important role in repression as a non-covalent protein-protein interaction partner. We determine that SUMO can form a repressive complex by simultaneously forming non-covalent interactions with UBC9 and PIAS1, the E2 and E3 enzymes in the SUMOylation system. In addition, we report that the formation of the PIAS1:SUMO:UBC9 ternary complex is modulated by the phosphorylation of serine residues juxtaposed to a SUMO-Interacting Motif (SIM) found in PIAS1. Thus SUMO acts as a specific adaptor that stabilizes UBC9 E2: PIAS1 E3 interactions. Based on this finding, we propose that the E2 and E3 enzymes from other Ublps systems exploit similar mechanisms as part of their function Finally, our third study explores the regulation of SUMO non-covalent interactions by phosphorylation. Using a combination of in vivo and in vitro studies we demonstrate that the interaction between SUMO1 and PML is governed by CK2-dependent phosphorylation of four serine residues in PML. Crystal structures of PML-SIM:SUMO1 complexes reveal that these PML phospho-serine specifically contact SUMO1 basic patch residues. Since CK2 kinase is induced by stress activated kinases pathways, this indicates that SUMO non-covalent interactions are regulated by cellular stress. Based on this finding, we postulated that analogous events influence other CK2-targeted SIM-containing proteins. In summary, this study reveals that in addition to its well described function as PTM, SUMO can function as an adaptor enabling specific proteins interactions such as functional E3:E2 enzymes pairs.
