Embodiment 1

[0045] Example 1: Beauvericin (E2A1) promotes the ubiquitination modification of APC / C-mediated target proteins Skp2 and CyclinA2

[0046] Skp2 and Cyclin A2 are the definite downstream target proteins of APC / C, so Skp2 and Cyclin A2 can be used to verify whether beauvericin (hereinafter referred to as E2A1) has an effect on APC / C. Therefore, this example first verified whether the compound E2A1 mediated the degradation of Skp2 protein through the ubiquitinated proteasome pathway.

[0047] In this example, the ubiquitination model was constructed in the HEK293T cell model, which was divided into 4 experimental groups, which were (1) blank control group (2) negative control group (3) positive control group (4) experimental group, each group cells according to figure 1 After adding the corresponding transfection plasmids or compounds as shown, the protein was collected and extracted according to the protein collection method of Western Blotting, and the ubiquitinated protein of...

Embodiment 2

[0073] Example 2: The ubiquitination modification of APC / C promoted by compound E2A1 to its substrate causes the stability reduction and further degradation of its target protein Skp2

[0074] In this embodiment, 10 μM E2A1 and DU145 were co-cultured for 24 hours to determine the expression levels of cell cycle-related proteins.

[0075] The specific experimental process is as follows:

[0076] 1. DU145 cells were treated with compounds after 24 hours of culture;

[0077] 2. Dilute the Cycloheximide (CHX) stock solution with complete medium to a final concentration of 35 μM for later use;

[0078] 3. Take out the cells to be treated, gently suck out the original old medium along the wall of the well, then gently add 2mL of the complete medium of 35μM cycloheximide mixed above into the well along the wall, and culture for 0, 3, 6. Collect the cells after 12 hours, lyse the cells and collect the proteins, and verify that E2A1 affects the degradation of p27 and Skp2 proteins by...

Embodiment 3

[0087] Example 3: The ubiquitination and degradation of Skp2 protein promoted by compound E2A1 can further inhibit the DNA replication and synthesis of prostate cancer cell line DU145

[0088] The cell proliferation marker BrdU is a derivative of thymine, which is often used to mark newly synthesized DNA (S phase of the cell cycle). This mark can exist stably and enter daughter cells with DNA replication, so it can be used for detection and judgment DNA synthesis capacity of cells. In order to determine whether compound E2A1 can affect the DNA synthesis ability of DU145 cells, a BrdU labeling experiment was designed in this example to verify the effect of compound E2A1 on the DNA synthesis ability of DU145 cells.

[0089] The specific experimental procedure of immunofluorescence is as follows:

[0090] 1. In a 12-well cell culture plate, put the cleaned cell slides and 5×10 per well 5 1 DU145 cells were co-cultured for 12 hours;

[0091] 2. After 12 hours, aspirate and disc...

Abstract

The invention discloses the application of a beauverian analogue as a small molecule agonist of APC / C. The present invention discloses for the first time that the natural source beauvericin analog shown in formula I activates the function of APC / C, which is a powerful anaphase-promoting factor complex (APC / C-Cdh1) or anaphase-promoting factor complex (APC / C‑Cdc20). As a small molecule agonist of APC / C, this kind of compound has important application value in the research fields of cell physiological changes caused by APC / C protein activity disorder, targeted activation of APC / C to control cell proliferation disorders and other diseases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and specifically relates to a small molecule agonist. Background technique [0002] As an important post-translational modification, ubiquitination can regulate protein degradation through the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS). "Anaphase-promoting complex / cyclosome" (anaphase-promoting complex / cyclosome, APC / C) is a star ubiquitin ligase enzyme (ubiquitin ligase enzyme, E3) complex. APC / C is usually a complex composed of 11-13 subunit proteins, for example, E3 of cyclin B isolated from Xenopus laevis eggs contains at least 8 different subunits. APC / C mainly includes four parts: ①The part that binds to ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (E2); ②TPR subunit; ③Structural complex; ④Coactivation molecules Cdc20, Cdh1 and Ama1, the activity of APC / C Regulation and substrate recognition specificity are largely dependent on coactivator molecules. APC / C stimulates the E2-ubiquitin complex to bi...
