Blockade of Furin Activity and Furin-Induced Tumor Cells Malignant Phenotypes By The Chemically Synthesized Human Furin Prodomain

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2010
Processing of cancer-associated precursor proteins such as growth factors by the Proprotein Convertase furin is an important cellular process for acquisition of malignant phenotype and metastatic potential of tumor cells. Furin is inhibited by its own prodomain protein which also plays role in the folding of mature furin.

Optimization of Substrate‐Analogue Furin Inhibitors

ChemMedChem, 2017
AbstractThe proprotein convertase furin is a potential target for drug design, especially for the inhibition of furin‐dependent virus replication. All effective synthetic furin inhibitors identified thus far are multibasic compounds; the highest potency was found for our previously developed inhibitor 4‐(guanidinomethyl)phenylacetyl‐Arg‐Tle‐Arg‐4 ...

Internally Quenched Fluorogenic Substrate for Furin

Analytical Biochemistry, 1995
A new substrate for furin, Abz-Arg-Val-Lys-Arg-Gly-Leu-Ala-Tyr(NO2)-Asp-OH, has been synthesized and characterized. The peptide is an internally quenched fluorogenic substrate. The kinetic parameters are Km = 3.8 microM, kcat = 29.3 s-1, and kcat/KM = 7,710,000 M-1 s-1.

Why All the Fury over Furin?

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 sequence revealed a multibasic furin cleavage site at the S1/S2 boundary of the spike protein distinguishing this virus from SARS-CoV. Furin, the best-characterized member of the mammalian proprotein convertases, is an ubiquitously expressed single pass type 1 transmembrane protein.

Therapeutic Potential of Furin Inhibition: An Evaluation Using a Conditional Furin Knockout Mouse Model

Colloquium Series on Protein Activation and Cancer, 2012
Abstract The proprotein convertase Furin is a serine endoprotease which cleaves protein precursors carboxyterminal of basic residues in motifs such as Arg–X–X–Arg and Lys/Arg–Arg. Cleavage usually results in activation of the proprotein but can also inactivate or modify the activity.

Furin

1994
Abstract Furin is the translation product encoded by the fur locus, which was initially identified by its proximity to the fes/fps proto-oncogene (fes/fps JJ.pstream region)3. Furin cDNAs have been isolated from several species including human, mouse, rat and Xenopus4-8.

[Furin and its biological role].

Ukrains'kyi biokhimichnyi zhurnal (1999 ), 2008
The survey deals with structure, properties and biological role of furin, the calcium-dependent serine endoprotease, which is expressed in all tissues and cell lines examined. It is the best-characterized representative of the mammalian subtilisin-like family of proprotein convertases, which is capable to cleave precursors of a wide variety of proteins,

[New non-peptide inhibitors of furin].

Ukrains'kyi biokhimichnyi zhurnal (1999 ), 2010
Furin, a human subtilisin-related proprotein convertase, is the most important pharmaceutical target because it plays a vital role in development of numerous disease processes. To identify a new class of small non-peptide inhibitors of furin we performed a study of several flavonoids and some natural products.
