  • Farmesy-Protein Transferase의 저해제는 Ras단백질의 발암활성을 차잔하는 항암제의 후보로서 알려져있다. 우리는 최근에 topoisomerase I에 대하여 저해활성을 갖는 dihydrotanshinone I을 약용식물인 Salvia miltorhiza Bunge(Danshen)으로부터 분리하였다. Dihydrotanshinone Iml 작용기작의 해석을 위한 시도에서 farmesy-Protein Transferase에 대한 저해능($IC_{50}$치= 15ug/ml)을 관찰하였으며, 이것은 유용한 항암제로서의 가능성을 제시한 결과로 본다.

  • Phenylglyoxal diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), and 1-cyclohexyl-3-[2-morpholinoethyl]-carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMC) are modifying reagents specific for arginine, histidine, and aspartate or glutamate, respectively. They were found to inactivate S. cerevisiae farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). The peptide substrate protected the enzyme against inactivation by CMC and the other substrate farnesyl pyrophosphate showed protection against inactivation by phenylglyoxal. while neither of the two substrates protected the enzyme against DEPC inactivation. These results suggest the presence of aspartate/glutamate, arginine and histidine residues at the active site of this enzyme.

  • Chemical modification of the S. cerevisiae farnesyl protein transferase (FPT) with CMC, phenylglyoxal and DEPC resulted in enzyme inactivation, depending upon the reagent concentration. The peptide substrate GST-PEP-I, a GST-fused undecapeptide mimicking the C-terminus of $p21^{Ki-ras}$, protected the enzyme against inactivation by CMC which is specific to either aspartate or glutamate, while the other substrate farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) showed protection against phenylglyoxal which is the specific modifier of arginine residues, dependent on the substrate concentrations. Neither of the two substrates protected the enzyme against histidine inactivation by DEPC. It is suggested that there is at least one aspartate or glutamate residue at the peptide substrate binding site, and that at least one arginine residue is located at the binding site of FPP. There also seems to be at least one histidine residue which is critical for enzymic activity and is exposed toward the bulk solution, excluded from the substrate binding sites.

  • Various cinnamaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and their inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) was measured to examine the structure-activity relationships (SAR) on the basis that FPTase was inhibited by ortho-hydroxycinnamaldehyde derived from extracts of the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume. The ortho-substituents on the phenyl backbone of cinnamaldehyde showed higher activity than those with meta- and para-substituents, and the side chain required unsaturated aldehyde. In particular, 2-chlorocinnamaldehyde, 5 showed the highest inhibition activity on the FPTase among them and its inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ value was 4.45.

  • Chalcones 유도체들을 합성하고 farnesyl protein transferase(FPTase) 저해활성을 측정하여, 기질분자의 치환기 변화에 따른 구조와 활성과의관계(SAR)를 Free-Wilson법과 Hansch법으로 검토하였다. Benzoyl group 중 X-치환기가 styryl중 Y-치환기보다 활성에 더욱 큰 영향을 미쳤으며 meta- > ortho-, para-치환기의 순으로 활성을 나타내었다. 또한, X및 Y-치환기의 소수성이 적정값$(({\Sigma}logP)_{opt}\;=\;3.915)$에 근접할수록 활성이 증가 하였으며, X-치환기의 입체효과와(Es > O) 전자밀게 Y-치환기에 의한 공명효과(R < O)가 활성에 미치는 중요한 요소로 인식되었다. 다루어진 화합물중에서 비 치환체, 8은 가장 높은 FPTase저해활성$(pl_{50}\;=\;4.30)$을 나타내었다. 그리고 기질 수용체간의 상호작용을 가정하여 제안하였다.

  • Ras proteins play an important role in intracellular signal transduction pathways involved in cell growth and the mutated twas genes have been found in thirty percent of human cancers. Ras proteins (H-, K- and N-Ras) are small guanine nucleotide binding proteins that undergo a series of posttranslational modifications including the farnesylation onto cysteine 186 at C-terminal of Ras by farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). This is a mandatory process for retention of transforming ability. Therefore, inhibitors of FPTase have a promising to be effective antitumor agents. In our screening program for FPTase inhibitors, the methanol extracts of 193 plants were screened for the inhibitory activity against FPTase partially purified from the rat brain. Extracts of 7species plants including Areca catechu, Saururus chinensis, Curcuma longa, Artemisa princeps, Paeonia suffruticosa, Spatholobus suberectus, Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum japonicum inhibited more than 60% of FPTase activity at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$.

  • Farnesyl protein transferase는 Ras precursor의 C-terminal에 있는 cystein residue에 farnesyl group을 결합시키는 효소다. 이 효소를 bovine testis에서 30-50% ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-sephacel ion exchange, Sephacryl s-300 gel filtration, hexapeptide(KKCVIM) affinity chromatography를 통해 30000배로 분리하였다. 분리된 효소는 gel filtration시 약 100kDa으로, SDS-polyacrylamide 전기영동시 50kDa의 인접한 두 bands로 나타났고 이것은 $\alpha$, $\beta$ subunits으로 생각되었다. $\alpha$ subunit을 encoding하는 RAM2 유전자를 site directed mutagenesis로 145번의 histidine을 aspartate로, 140번의 aspartate를 asparagine 으로 바꾸었더니 optimal pH와 $K_{m}$ 값이 변했다. Diethyl pyrocarbonate로 histidine residues를 chemical modification시켰을때 효소의 활성이 저하되었다. 145번 histidine이 aspartate로 바뀐 돌연변이효소에서 비교적 느리게 활성이 저하되므로 145번 histidine이 이 효소의 active site에 있을것으로 추측된다.

  • Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies on 59 cinnamaldehyde analogues as Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase) inhibitors were investigated using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) with the PLS region-focusing method. Forty-nine training set inhibitors were used for CoMFA with two different grid spacings, $2{\AA}\;and\;1{\AA}$ Ten compounds, which were not used in model generation, were used to validate the CoMFA models. After the PLS analysis, the best predictive CoMFA model showed that the cross-validated value $(r^2_{cv})$ and the non-cross validated conventional value$(r^2_{ncv})$ are 0.557 and 0.950, respectively. From the CoMFA contour maps, the steric and electrostatic properties of cinnamaldehyde analogues can be identified and verified.

  • Farnesyl Protein transferase(FPT)는 발암유전자 ras의 단백질 산물인 p$^{21}$의 post-translational modification의 첫 단계인 ras-farnesylation에 관여하는 효소로 본 연구에서는 정제된 FPT와 E. coli에서의 발현 system을 이용하여 FPT의 구조와 기능을 밝히고 이를 FPT 방해제의 설계에 이용하고자 한다. Bovine testis에 존재하는 FPT를 30%-50%의 Ammonium sulfate로 fractionation하고, DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300 column을 통과시킨 후 peptide(KKCVIM) affinity column을 이용하여 순수 정제하였다. 정제된 효소의 분자량은 gel-filtration에 의해 100KDa으로 추정되었고 SDS-PAGE 결과 49KDa과 46KDa의 두 subunit로 구성되었음이 확인되었다. 효소활성에는 $Mg^{2+}$$Zn^{2+}$가 필수적이며 최적 pH는 7.0이었다. Yeast의 FPT의 두 subunit 유전자는 Yeast genomic DNA를 template로 사용하고 각 subunit에 specific한 합성된 primer들과 vent polymerase를 이용하여 Polymerase chain reaction을 통하여 얻었다. 두 유전자를 pBluescriptII SK+ vector를 변형시킨 두 vector, pBSK+4와 pBChl+4에 재조합 시킨 후 E.coli에 transformation시켜 발현시켰다. 현재 정제된 Bovine FPT와 E. coli에서 발현된 Yeast FPT의 chemical modification과 site-directed mutagenesis를 통하여 FPT의 active site와 substrate binding site에 관한 연구를 진행시키고 있다.
