Artificial intelligence streamlines scientific discovery of drug–target interactions

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug discovery is a complicated process through which new therapeutics are identified to prevent and treat specific diseases. Identification of drug–target interactions (DTIs) stands as a pivotal aspect within the realm of drug discovery and development. The traditional process of drug discovery, especially identification of DTIs, is marked by

Hydrophobic residues in the α‐synuclein NAC domain drive seed‐competent fibril formation and are targeted by peptide inhibitors

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The hydrophobic 68GAVV71 stretch in the NAC domain of α‐synuclein is essential for nucleation, while residues 79–95 are required for fibril stability and seeding. Truncation or inhibition of 68GAVV71 prevents fibril formation, and truncation of 79–95 abolishes seeding competency, highlighting their distinct roles in α‐synuclein aggregation and ...

Molecular basis of domain‐specific angiotensin I‐converting enzyme inhibition by the antihypertensive drugs enalaprilat, ramiprilat, trandolaprilat, quinaprilat and perindoprilat

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Inhibition of angiotensin I‐converting enzyme is an effective strategy for the treatment of hypertension. However, the clinically available ACE inhibitors cause side effects due to nonselective inhibition of the two catalytic domains of ACE (nACE and cACE).

Structural analysis of the NifL‐NifA complex reveals the molecular basis of anti‐activation of nitrogen fixation gene expression in Azotobacter vinelandii

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using cryo‐EM combined with biochemical and genetic approaches, we mapped the interaction surface between NifL and NifA to gain insights into the regulation of nitrogen fixation genes in A. vinelandii. Our findings suggest that NifL, a homolog of histidine kinases lacking phosphorylation activity, evolved to act as a steric block of NifA activity ...

Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti‐CRISPR function of AcrIIA13b protein

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Anti‐CRISPR protein AcrIIA13b inhibits CRISPR–Cas9 function by preventing target DNA engagement. The Cas9–sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) normally recognizes the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) duplex to initiate DNA cleavage. AcrIIA13b binding to the PAM‐interacting WED–PI domain blocks this recognition, leaving the target DNA intact.
