RecQ家族解旋酶是DNA解旋酶中高度保守的一个重要家族,参与DNA复制、修复、重组、转录及维持端粒稳定等细胞代谢过程,在维持染色体稳定性与完整性中起着重要作用.甲磺酸培氟沙星(pefloxacin mesylate,PFM)是一种新型氟喹诺酮类抗菌药物,对一些革兰氏阴性菌具有明显的杀菌效果,临床上已广泛使用.本研究利用荧光偏振、自由磷检测技术研究PFM对大肠杆菌RecQ解旋酶的DNA结合活性、解链活性、ATPase活性的影响.结果表明,低浓度PFM可促进大肠杆菌RecQ解旋酶与ssDNA、dsDNA结合,达到一定量后PFM则抑制酶与DNA底物的结合,这种影响与DNA底物有关;PFM对RecQ解旋酶的DNA解链活性和ATP酶活性都具有抑制作用,但其抑制的效果有极显著差异(P<0.01):比较PFM对两种活性抑制的Ci值(对解链活性抑制的Ci值为(1.5±0.2) μmol/L,对ATP酶活性抑制的Ci值为(0.010±0.005) μmol/L)可知,PFM对大肠杆菌RecQ解旋酶ATPase活性的抑制强于其解链活性. 这些结果可为研究以DNA解旋酶为药物靶标的分子机理奠定相关理论基础.  相似文献

XPB and XPD subunits of TFIIH are central genome caretakers involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER), although their respective role within this DNA repair pathway remains difficult to delineate. To obtain insight into the function of XPB and XPD, we studied cell lines expressing XPB or XPD ATPase‐deficient complexes. We show the involvement of XPB, but not XPD, in the accumulation of TFIIH to sites of DNA damage. Recruitment of TFIIH occurs independently of the helicase activity of XPB, but requires two recently identified motifs, a R‐E‐D residue loop and a Thumb‐like domain. Furthermore, we show that these motifs are specifically involved in the DNA‐induced stimulation of the ATPase activity of XPB. Together, our data demonstrate that the recruitment of TFIIH to sites of damage is an active process, under the control of the ATPase motifs of XPB and suggest that this subunit functions as an ATP‐driven hook to stabilize the binding of the TFIIH to damaged DNA.  相似文献

Hsp90 is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone that regulates key signaling proteins and thereby impacts cell growth and development. Chaperone cycle of Hsp90 is regulated by ATP binding and hydrolysis through its intrinsic ATPase activities, which is in turn modulated by interaction with its co-chaperones. Hsp90 ATPase activity varies in different organisms and is known to be increased in tumor cells. In this study we have quantitatively analyzed the impact of increasing Hsp90 ATPase activity on the activities of its clients through a virtual prototyping technology, which comprises a dynamic model of Hsp90 interaction with clients involved in proliferation pathways. Our studies highlight the importance of increased ATPase activity of Hsp90 in cancer cells as the key modulator for increased proliferation and survival. A tenfold increase in ATPase activity of Hsp90 often seen in cancer cells increases the levels of active client proteins such as Akt-1, Raf-1 and Cyclin D1 amongst others to about 12-, 8- and 186-folds respectively. Additionally we studied the effect of a competitive inhibitor of Hsp90 activity on the reduction in the client protein levels. Virtual prototyping experiments corroborate with findings that the drug has almost 10- to 100-fold higher affinity as indicated by a lower IC50 value (30–100 nM) in tumor cells with higher ATPase activity. The results also indicate a 15- to 25-fold higher efficacy of the inhibitor in reducing client levels in tumor cells. This analysis provides mechanistic insights into the links between increased Hsp90 ATPase activity, tumor phenotype and the hypersensitivity of tumor Hsp90 to inhibition by ATP analogs.  相似文献
