100 results about "Dephosphorylation" patented technology

Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate (PO₄³⁻) group from an organic compound by hydrolysis. It is a reversible post-translational modification. Dephosphorylation and its counterpart, phosphorylation, activate and deactivate enzymes by detaching or attaching phosphoric esters and anhydrides. A notable occurrence of dephosphorylation is the conversion of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Tandem responsive self-assembly molecular probes and applications thereof

This invention discloses a tandem-responsive self-assembled molecular probe and its applications. The HPO-CYFF-TPP of this invention is converted to HO-CYFF-TPP under the dephosphorylation of overexpressed ALP, restoring the intramolecular charge transfer effect. It then self-assembles into nanoparticles in situ through π-π stacking, exhibiting fluorescence signal quenching and photoacoustic signal enhancement at low viscosity. Upon laser irradiation, the NPs generate a large amount of singlet oxygen in the mitochondria, thereby achieving efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) and leading to increased viscosity. At high viscosity, due to the suppression of the distorted intramolecular charge transfer effect of HO-CYFF-TPP, the NPs activate the FL signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio and further enhance the PA signal. Therefore, the HPO-CYFF-TPP of this invention can achieve efficient PDT and enable real-time therapeutic effect assessment through FL / PA signals.

GlcNAc6P induction component and method for promoting synthesis of acetylglucosamine

The invention discloses a GlcNAc6P induction component and a method for promoting synthesis of acetylglucosamine. The existing GlcNAc6P sensing element has the problems of serious leakage and small response range, which results in that in the process of regulating and controlling the expression of phosphatase by using the GlcNAc6P sensing element, the phosphatase also has higher expression intensity when intracellular GlcNAc6P is not accumulated, and the supply of precursor substances is influenced. Besides, along with rapid increase of the intracellular GlcNAc6P concentration, the upper limit of the expression quantity of phosphatase is low, the intracellular dephosphorylation requirement cannot be met, and further increase of the GlcNAc yield is limited. Therefore, an existing GlcNAc6P sensing element is optimized, a nagC binding sequence is subjected to directed evolution, expression intensity of repressor protein nagC is optimized, the leakage expression level of the sensor is reduced, and the response range of the sensor is expanded, so that the expression intensity of phosphatase is more effectively and rigorously regulated and controlled to adapt to the change of the concentration of GlcNAc6P in cells in different fermentation periods; and a foundation is laid for producing acetylglucosamine by further transforming recombinant bacteria through metabolic engineering.

Catalytic inhibitor of protein phosphatase 5 activates the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by disrupting complex ii

Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is a serine / threonine protein phosphatase involved in the maturation and activation of numerous signaling pathways essential for cancer growth. PP5 activity is essential for the survival of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however the mechanism remains unclear. Data demonstrates that PP5 interacts with caspase-8, FADD, and RIPK1, components of extrinsic apoptotic pathway Complex II. Specifically, PP5 dephosphorylates and inactivates the death effector proteins RIPK1 and FADD, preserving Complex II integrity and regulating extrinsic apoptosis. Protein phosphatases are considered to be ‘undruggable,’ however we have developed a specific inhibitor of PP5 (P-053) that prevents substrate binding to the active site. Encouragingly, PP5 inhibition using P-53 in VHL-null ccRCC robustly induces extrinsic apoptosis. Taken together, the data suggests that PP5 promotes ccRCC survival by suppressing extrinsic apoptosis, and small molecule inhibition of PP5 presents a viable therapeutic strategy for ccRCC.
