substrates. We demonstrate that, unlike the thieno analog, thGN, the isothiazolo guanine surrogate, tzGN, does undergo effective enzymatic deamination by GDA and yields the spectroscopically distinct xanthine analog, tzXN. Further, we showcase the potential of this fluorescent nucleobase surrogate to provide a visible spectral window for a real-time study of GDA and its inhibition.
鸟嘌呤脱氨酶 (GDA) 将鸟嘌呤脱氨基为黄嘌呤。尽管具有重要意义,但与其他代谢脱氨酶相比,人类 GDA 的研究仍然有限。因此,其底物和抑制剂库有限,并且缺乏有效的实时活性、抑制和发现分析。在此,我们探索了两种基于噻吩并[3,4- d ]嘧啶( th N )和异噻唑[4,3- d ]嘧啶( tz N )的发射杂环核作为替代GDA底物。我们证明,与噻吩并类似物th G N不同,异噻唑并鸟嘌呤替代物tz G N确实通过 GDA 进行有效的酶促脱氨基作用,并产生光谱上不同的黄嘌呤类似物tz X N 。此外,我们展示了这种荧光核碱基替代物为 GDA 及其抑制的实时研究提供可见光谱窗口的潜力。
