Bioconjugate chemistry, 21(2), 279-288 (2010-01-23)
The synthesis of affinity matrices for 6-aminophenanthridine (6AP) and 2,6-dichlorobenzylidenaminoguanidine (Guanabenz, GA), two unrelated prion inhibitors, is described. In both cases, the same simple spacer, epsilon-aminocaproylaminopentanol, was introduced by a Mitsunobu reaction and the choice of the anchoring position of

Science (New York, N.Y.), 332(6025), 91-94 (2011-03-10)
Many biological processes are regulated through the selective dephosphorylation of proteins. Protein serine-threonine phosphatases are assembled from catalytic subunits bound to diverse regulatory subunits that provide substrate specificity and subcellular localization. We describe a small molecule, guanabenz, that bound to
Pavel Tsaytler et al.
The FEBS journal, 280(2), 766-770 (2012-02-22)
Selective and reversible phosphorylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications of proteins. Although kinase inhibitors are popular in drug development programmes, selective pharmacological manipulation of phosphatase activity has been challenging to achieve. We review recent advances in the
Cécile Voisset et al.
Biotechnology journal, 6(6), 668-673 (2011-05-14)
In addition to its involvement in protein synthesis, the ribosome is implicated in protein folding. Some co-translational events, such as the rhythm of protein synthesis, the passage through the exit tunnel of the ribosome, or the interaction with ribosome-associated chaperones
Melissa J Fullwood et al.
Progress in molecular biology and translational science, 106, 75-106 (2012-02-22)
The unfolded protein response, also known as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, has been implicated in numerous human diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Protein misfolding activates one or more of the three ER transmembrane sensors to initiate a
