间变性淋巴瘤激酶(anaplasticlymphomakinase,ALK)基因重排可见于包括非小细胞肺癌non-smallcelllungcancer,NSCLC)在内的多种恶性肿瘤中。ALK融合基因使激酶具有异常活性,而野生型ALK激酶域突变也可使它被激活。ALK基因重排使得NSCLC中出现了新的分子亚型,该亚型对ALK抑制剂高度耐药。克唑替尼(crizotinib)是一个口服小分子ATP模拟化合物,它最初作为MET抑制剂被开发,随后被发现具有抗ALK活性的脱靶效应(off-target),并被美国FDA批准用于治疗ALK阳性的NSCLC患者。近来在NSCLC患者中还发现了ROSl受体酪氨酸激酶染色体重排,而克唑替尼正处于治疗该分子亚型NSCLC患者的临床试验中。任何计算机辅助药物设计都是依赖其分子结构和配体的药物设计方法,每种方法的详细信息中均应重点强调利用这二者,以开发多靶点小分子激酶抑制剂。此类多靶点小分子激酶抑制剂均可对ROS1和ALK重排的NSCLC有抑制增殖作用。因此,本综述重点强调了关于靶向这些激酶的重要性,以及在优化出效能更佳、选择性更强的ROS1和ALK激酶抑制剂中所取得的进步。 相似文献

The complete cDNA sequence encoding a Boophilus microplus (Canestrini) (Acari: Ixodidae) acetylcholinesterase (AChE3) was expressed in the baculovirus system. The recombinant AChE3 protein (rBmAChE3) was secreted as a soluble form into the cell culture medium and was identified as a functional AChE by substrate specificity and by inhibition with the AChE-specific inhibitors eserine sulfate and BW284c51. Inhibition kinetics of rBmAChE3, in the presence of the organophosphate paraoxon, revealed sensitivity comparable with that of adult, organophosphate-susceptible neural AChE. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the cloning and successful expression of a functional ixodid AChE. 相似文献

The experimental vector competence of five laboratory-reared ixodid tick species representing three genera [Amblyomma americanum (L.), Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), D. andersoni Stiles, D. occidentalis Marx, and D. variabilis (Say)] for Babesia equi (Laveran 1901) was evaluated by delayed transfer of male ticks from infected to susceptible equids or by infesting the latter animals with adult ticks previously fed as nymphs on infected equids. After feeding for 5, 6, or 13 d on acquisition hosts, ticks were forcibly removed and held off the host at 26 degrees C, approximately 93% RH, and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) h for 6, 12, or 27 d. Intrastadial transmission to susceptible ponies by D. variabilis males, and transstadial transmission to susceptible burros by B. microplus adults, was demonstrated by blood smear and indirect immunofluorescence serology. The data indicated that male D. variabilis and adult B. microplus, tick species that occur on equids in North America and, in the case of the latter tick, also extensively in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, may be competent natural vectors of B. equi 相似文献

Mutation of antitrypsin to antithrombin. alpha 1-antitrypsin Pittsburgh (358 Met leads to Arg), a fatal bleeding disorder 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

Our previous studies predicted a functional relationship between the plasma proteins alpha 1-antitrypsin and antithrombin III. To elucidate this relationship we investigated the plasma of a 14-year-old boy who had died from an episodic bleeding disorder. A variant alpha 1-antitrypsin was identified in which the methionine at position 358 had been replaced by an arginine. This had converted the alpha 1-antitrypsin from its normal function as an inhibitor of elastase to that of an inhibitor of thrombin. This finding indicates that the reactive center of alpha 1-antitrypsin is methionine 358, which acts as a bait for elastase, just as the normal reactive center of antithrombin III is arginine 393, which acts as a bait for thrombin. The independence of the new thrombin inhibitor from heparin control explains the bleeding disorder; it also indicates that heparin normally acts directly on antithrombin III, revealing its inherent inhibitory activity. The episodic nature of the bleeding was a consequence of the mutant protein's being an acute-phase reactant, the level of which increased several-fold after trauma. 相似文献

To identify ehrlichial agents in Boophilus microplus ticks, DNA samples of B. microplus collected from the Tibet Autonomous Region and Sichuan Province of China were screened by a nested PCR. Sixteen of 43 (37%) DNA samples of B. microplus from Tibet were positive in nested PCR analysis. All 27 samples from Sichuan were negative. The screen identified two ehrlichial agents based on different 16S rRNA genes that were found after amplifying and sequencing the 5'-end fragments of the 16S rRNA genes. One sequence was identical to that of the gene of Anaplasma marginale, an etiological agent of animal anaplasmosis. The other sequence was most similar to that of the gene of Ehrlichia chaffeensis, an etiological agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis. The sequence of 1,501 bases from the novel ehrlichial agent was obtained and showed the greatest levels of sequence similarity (97 to 98%) to 16S rRNA gene sequences of the members of the E. canis group of the genus EHRLICHIA: Sequence comparison of the 16S rRNA gene with the members of the genus Ehrlichia reveals that the novel ehrlichial agent detected in B. microplus ticks is a new species of the genus Ehrlichia and is most closely related to E. chaffeensis. 相似文献

Equi merozoite antigens 1 and 2 (EMA-1 and EMA-2) are Babesia equi proteins expressed on the parasite surface during infection in horses and are orthologues of proteins in Theileria spp., which are also tick-transmitted protozoal pathogens. We determined in this study whether EMA-1 and EMA-2 were expressed within the vector tick Boophilus microplus. B. equi transitions through multiple, morphologically distinct stages, including sexual stages, and these transitions culminate in the formation of infectious sporozoites in the tick salivary gland. EMA-2-positive B. equi stages in the midgut lumen and midgut epithelial cells of Boophilus microplus nymphs were identified by reactivity with monoclonal antibody 36/253.21. This monoclonal antibody also recognized B. equi in salivary glands of adult Boophilus microplus. In addition, quantification of B. equi in the mammalian host and vector tick indicated that the duration of tick feeding and parasitemia levels affected the percentage of nymphs that contained morphologically distinct B. equi organisms in the midgut. In contrast, there was no conclusive evidence that B. equi EMA-1 was expressed in either the Boophilus microplus midgut or salivary gland when monoclonal antibody 36/18.57 was used. The expression of B. equi EMA-2 in Boophilus microplus provides a marker for detecting the various development stages and facilitates the identification of novel stage-specific Babesia proteins for testing transmission-blocking immunity. 相似文献

Esterase activity was present in the integument of adult female Boophilus microplus (Canestrini) ticks that are resistant to organophosphates (OP). Three esterases were purified from adult integument, which hydrolyze the substrates p-nitrophenylacetate and beta-naphthyl acetate after comparison of OP-resistant strain and an OP-susceptible strains. The esterases purified by ion-exchange chromatography were characterized using different esterase inhibitors; eserine sulfate, diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon), para-hydroxyl-mercuribenzoate (pHMB), and diisopropylphosphofluoridate (DFP). All of the esterases had a molecular mass of 64 Kd (PAGE), but were characterized based on the esterase inhibitor effects as a B-esterase with beta-naphthyl acetate affinity, a carboxylesterase with beta-naphthyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl acetate affinity, and one A-Esterase (nonspecific esterase) with p-nitrophenyl acetate affinity. The described esterases are an important detoxification mechanism in B. microplus ticks at the integument. We describe also a microplate biochemical assay for the detection of esterase activity in the tick integument, potentially a useful tool to detect esterase-mediated OP resistance in B. microplus ticks. 相似文献

Thrombin is an enzyme that is generated in both vascular and non-vascular systems. In blood coagulation, a fundamental process in all species, thrombin induces the formation of a fibrin clot. A dynamical model of thrombin generation in the presence of lipid surfaces is presented. This model also includes the self-regulating thrombin feedback reactions, the thrombomodulin-protein C-protein S inhibitory system, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and the inhibitor, antithrombin (AT). The dynamics of this complex system were found to be highly lipid dependent, as would be expected from experimental studies. Simulations of this model indicate that a threshold lipid level is required to generate physiologically relevant amounts of thrombin. The dependence of the onset, the peak levels, and the duration of thrombin generation on lipid was saturable. The lipid concentration affects the way in which the inhibitors modulate thrombin production. A novel feature of this model is the inclusion of the dynamical protein C pathway, initiated by thrombin feedback. This inhibitory system exerts its effects on the lipid surface, where its substrates are formed. The maximum impact of TFPI occurs at intermediate vesicle concentrations. Inhibition by AT is only indirectly affected by the lipid since AT irreversibly binds only to solution phase proteins. In a system with normal plasma concentrations of the proteins involved in thrombin formation, the combination of these three inhibitors is sufficient both to effectively stop thrombin generation prior to the exhaustion of its precursor, prothrombin, and to inhibit all thrombin formed. This model can be used to predict thrombin generation under extreme lipid conditions that are difficult to implement experimentally and to examine thrombin generation in non-vascular systems. 相似文献

Mutations were identified in the cDNA sequence encoding the acetylcholinesterase BmAChE3 in strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini) resistant or susceptible to organophosphate (OP) acaricide. The mutation that occurred most frequently in the OP-resistant San Román strain resulted in a substitution of glutamine (Q) for arginine (R) at position 86 in BmAChE3 (position 66 in mature BmAChE). Clones containing the mutant and wild-type cDNA sequences were expressed in the baculovirus system. Enzyme kinetics of recombinant BmAChE3 containing or lacking the R86Q mutation demonstrated that the R86Q mutation increased substrate affinity and conferred insensitivity to paraoxon inhibition. This is the first demonstration of a mutation in a gene encoding an ixodid acetylcholinesterase resulting in OP insensitivity. A restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was developed and used to diagnose the frequency of the R86Q mutation in BmAChE3 genomic DNA from seven laboratory-colonized strains. Use of the R86Q diagnostic assay detected an increased frequency of the R86Q mutation in OP-resistant tick strains compared with that of OP-susceptible strains; however, the R86Q mutation was also present in OP-susceptible strains at unexpectedly high frequency. Because the R86Q mutation generates an OP-resistant enzyme in vitro and it is present at an elevated frequency in laboratory strains selected for OP resistance, we conclude that the data are consistent with a potential role for BmAChE3 in development of OP resistance; however, because the R86Q mutation has a high frequency in susceptible strains, the R86Q mutation alone is insufficient to generate the OP-resistant phenotype at the organismal level. There are likely to be additional mutations in BmAChE3, mutations in additional acetylcholinesterase genes, or additional resistance mechanisms (e.g., oxidative metabolism) that contribute to expression of the OP-resistant phenotype. 相似文献

Thrombus formation, due to thrombin generation, is a major problem affecting blood-contacting medical devices. This work aimed to develop a new strategy to improve the hemocompatibility of such devices by the immobilization of a naturally occurring thrombin inhibitor into a nanostructured surface. Boophilin, a direct thrombin inhibitor from the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus, was produced as a recombinant protein in Pichia pastoris. Boophilin was biotinylated and immobilized on biotin-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAM) via neutravidin. In order to maintain its proteinase inhibitory capacity after surface immobilization, boophilin was biotinylated after the formation of a boophilin–thrombin complex to minimize the biotinylation of the residues involved in thrombin–boophilin interaction. The extent of boophilin biotinylation was determined using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight/time of flight mass spectrometry. Boophilin immobilization and thrombin adsorption were quantified using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. Thrombin competitive adsorption from human serum was assessed using 125I-thrombin. Thrombin inhibition and plasma clotting time were determined using spectrophotometric techniques. Boophilin-coated SAM were able to promote thrombin adsorption in a selective way, inhibiting most of its activity and delaying plasma coagulation in comparison with boophilin-free surfaces, demonstrating boophilin’s potential to improve the hemocompatibility of biomaterials used in the production of blood-contacting devices. 相似文献
