catalyzes the addition of a myristate group to the N-terminal glycine residues of proteins, is involved in the myristoylation of more than 100 proteins. Genetic knockdown of the enzyme proved detrimental for the viability of the parasite P. knowlesi. A crystal structure of P. vivax N-myristoyl transferase (pvNMT), containing a 3-methyl benzofuran ligand has made it possible to assess key amino acid residue-ligand
研究表明,N-肉豆蔻酰基转移酶是一种催化肉豆蔻酸基团添加到蛋白质N末端甘氨酸残基上的酶,它参与100多种蛋白质的肉豆蔻酰化。该酶的基因敲低被证明对寄生P.nowlesi的生存力有害。含有3-甲基苯并呋喃配体的间日疟原虫N-肉豆蔻酰基转移酶(pvNMT)的晶体结构使得评估关键氨基酸残基-配体相互作用成为可能。我们合成了5个6,5-稠合杂环文库,以确立杂环作为核心骨架的重要性,并引入了各种芳族酰胺和酯,以确定哪个羰基会影响每种杂环抗血浆药物的功效。
