FKBP5/FKBP51-mediated signaling pathways in neuropsychiatric diseases: Insights for biomarker development and targeted therapies

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress
The FK506-binding protein 5 gene encodes FKBP51, a molecular chaperone linked to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric diseases. Recent evidence shows that FKBP51 modulates activity of the HPA axis and GR-mediated feedback via dynamic interactions with GR,

A thermodynamic assay to test pharmacological chaperones for Fabry disease

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2014
The majority of the disease-causing mutations affect protein stability, but not functional sites and are amenable, in principle, to be treated with pharmacological chaperones. These drugs enhance the thermodynamic stability of their targets. Fabry disease, a disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding lysosomal alpha-galactosidase, represents an ...

Chaperone expression profiles correlate with distinct physiological states of Plasmodium falciparum in malaria patients

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2010
Background Molecular chaperones have been shown to be important in the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and inhibition of chaperone function by pharmacological agents has been shown to abrogate parasite growth.

Heparin octadecasaccharides influence iduronate-2-sulphatase activity in a mutation-dependent manner in Mucopolysaccharidosis type II

open access: yesLife Sciences, Medicine and Biomedicine
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS), resulting in glycosaminoglycans (GAG) accumulation and progressive multi-system pathology.

Safety and pharmacodynamic effects of a pharmacological chaperone on α-galactosidase A activity and globotriaosylceramide clearance in Fabry disease: report from two phase 2 clinical studies

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2012
Background Fabry disease (FD) is a genetic disorder resulting from deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), which leads to globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation in multiple tissues.

Pahenu1 is a mouse model for tetrahydrobiopterin-responsive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency and promotes analysis of the pharmacological chaperone mechanism in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The recent approval of sapropterin dihydrochloride, the synthetic form of 6[R]-l-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) as the first pharmacological chaperone drug initiated a paradigm change in the ...
