最小冰聚体结构单元模型及其对水性质影响的量化分析

水的一些奇特性质主要源于水分子之间存在的氢键, 但在分子尺度上的氢键结构和数据仍是目前研究和争论的焦点. 统计分析了目前文献中普遍采用的水分子和氢键结构数据, 并在此基础上应用AutoCAD图形软件模拟出(H2O)10结构的最小冰聚体结构单元(Minimum Ice Structural Unit, MISU)模型, 以及由MISU聚合而成的冰晶体三维模型. 根据MISU模型, 可以计算得到冰在0 ℃融化为水、水由0 ℃加热至100 ℃、水在100 ℃汽化为水蒸气的三相转化过程中分别需要吸收5.86, 4.40和24.94 kJ•mol－1的能量以断裂16.7%, 12.5%和70.8%的氢键. 如若不考虑氢键的影响, 那么计算得到水的融化热和汽化热分别为0.15和15.73 kJ•mol－1, 与VIA族氢化物H2S, H2Se, H2Te的融化热和汽化热基本呈线性关系. 另外, 由MISU模型计算得到冰在0 ℃融化为水时, 密度由923.17 kg•m－3增至999.89 kg•m－3, 亦与实际测量数据基本一致.

Bifunctional Small‐Molecule Ligands of K‐Ras Induce Its Association with Immunophilin Proteins

Here we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of bifunctional chemical ligands that induce the association of Ras with ubiquitously expressed immunophilin proteins such as FKBP12 and cyclophilin A. We show this approach is applicable to two distinct Ras ligand scaffolds, and that both the identity of the immunophilin ligand and the linker chemistry affect compound efficacy in biochemical and cellular contexts. These ligands bind to Ras in an immunophilin‐dependent fashion and mediate the formation of tripartite complexes of Ras, immunophilin, and the ligand. The recruitment of cyclophilin A to GTP‐bound Ras blocks its interaction with B‐Raf in biochemical assays. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of ligand‐induced association of Ras with intracellular proteins and suggests it as a promising therapeutic strategy for Ras‐driven cancers.

Extending the Lifetime of Native GTP‐Bound Ras for Site‐Resolved NMR Measurements: Quantifying the Allosteric Dynamics

Characterization of native GTP‐bound Ras is important for an appreciation of its cellular signaling and for the design of inhibitors, which however has been depressed by its intrinsic instability. Herein, an effective approach for extending the lifetime of Ras?GTP samples by exploiting the active role of Son of Sevenless (Sos) is demonstrated that sustains the activated state of Ras. This approach, combined with a postprocessing method that suppresses residual Ras?GDP signals, is applied to the site‐resolved NMR measurement of the allosteric dynamics of Ras?GTP. The observed network of concerted motions well covers the recently identified allosteric inhibitor‐binding pockets, but the motions are more confined than those of Ras?GppNHp, advocating the use of native GTP for development of allosteric inhibitors. The Sos‐based approach is anticipated to generally facilitate experiments on active Ras when native GTP is preferred.     

A rapid and simple HPLC-UV method for the determination of inhibition characteristics of farnesyl transferase inhibitors

Ras proteins play an important role in the development of cancer. Farnesyl transferase inhibitors (FTIs) block the first obligatory post-translational step for activation, prenylation, of Ras proteins. To find new potent FTIs, rapid enzyme activity assays are required to reduce FTI development time. Most assays to date are based on radioactive labelled substrates. We developed a new, in vitro, farnesyl transferase assay based on gradient chromatography coupled to UV detection. Unfarnesylated and farnesylated H-Ras proteins were resolved on a C18 wide-pore HPLC column and their concentrations were determined with use of a calibration curve of unfarnesylated H-Ras. The assay was used to investigate inhibition characteristics of FTIs. The IC50 values of the FTIs L778,123 and SCH66336 were 4.2 nm and 78 microm, respectively. This assay could support the screening and development of FTIs to obtain rapid insights into their inhibitory properties.
