Molecular docking analysis of beta-catenin with compounds derived from Lycopersicon esculentum.

ABSTRACT: Beta-catenin is linked with colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it is of interest to design and develop novel compounds to combat CRC. Hence, we document compounds (chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, quercetin and vanillic acid) from Lycopersicon esculentum with optimal binding features for further consideration.

Molecular docking analysis of alkaloid compounds with beta-catenin towards the treatment of colon cancer.

Project description:It is known that beta-catenin is associated with fibromatosis, sarcoma and mesenchymal tumor. Therefore, it is of interest to design an effective inhibtitor to the target protein beta-catenin. In this study, we report the molecular docking analysis of alkaloid compounds (aristolochicacid, cryptopleurine, demecolcine, fagaronine and thalicarpine) with beta-catenin for further consideration towards the design and development of potential inhintors for the treatmnet of colon cancer.

Molecular docking analysis of aspirin analogues with β-catenin.

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cancer cell proliferation, which links by the growth of β-catenin in cell due to inactivation of glycogen synthetase kinase-3. Therefore, it is of interest to design novel candidates to bind with β-catenin. Hence, we document the molecular docking analysis data of aspirin analogues with β-catenin for further consideration.

Analysis of the molecular size of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) fruit polyuronides by gel filtration and low-speed sedimentation equilibrium.

Project description:The cell-wall structures of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) and other fruit are intimately linked with the nature of their polyuronides. Cell-wall polyuronides from unripe and ripe tomato fruit were isolated and purified and their molecular size and molecular-size distributions were compared. It was demonstrated that there is a considerable decrease in the weight-average Mr upon ripening (from 160,000 +/- 10,000 to 96,000 +/- 4000) and a corresponding increase in polydispersity, particularly at the low-Mr end of the distribution. The estimates of polyuronide molecular size and molecular-size distribution were obtained without the need for polyuronide standards of known Mr by using gel-filtration chromatography combined with the absolute method of low-speed sedimentation equilibrium.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the extracellular domain of LePRK2 from Lycopersicon esculentum.

Project description:The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) pollen-specific receptor kinase 2 (LePRK2) is a member of the large receptor-like kinase (RLK) family and is expressed specifically in mature pollen and pollen tubes in L. esculentum. Like other RLKs, LePRK2 contains a characteristic N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) extracellular domain, the primary function of which is in protein-protein interactions. The LePRK2 LRR is likely to bind candidate ligands from the external environment, leading to a signal transduction cascade required for successful pollination. LePRK2-LRR was purified using an insect-cell secretion expression system and was crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to a resolution of 2.50 Å and belonged to space group I4(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 93.94, c = 134.44 Å and one molecule per asymmetric unit.

Lycopersicon esculentum Extract Enhances Cognitive Function and Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Aged Mice.

Project description:A decrease in adult neurogenesis is associated with the aging process, and this decrease is closely related to memory impairment. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a fruit with diverse bioactive nutrients that is consumed worldwide. In this study, we investigated the cognition-enhancing effect of tomato ethanolic extracts (TEE) in aged mice. Six weeks of oral TEE administration in 12-month-old aged mice significantly increased their exploration time of novel objects when compared to vehicle-treated mice. The TEE supplement increased doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells and postsynaptic density-95 (PSD95) expression in mice hippocampus. Moreover, we found an increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and subsequently-activated extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/cAMP response element binding (CREB) signaling pathway in the TEE-supplemented mice hippocampus. In conclusion, the oral administration of TEE exhibits a cognition-enhancing effect, and the putative underlying mechanism is the induction of BDNF signaling-mediated proliferation and synapse formation in the hippocampus. These findings indicate that TEE could be a candidate for treatment of age-related memory impairment and neurodegenerative disorders.

Sequencing of cDNA clones from the genetic map of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum).

Project description:The dense RFLP linkage map of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) contains >300 anonymous cDNA clones. Of those clones, 272 were partially or completely sequenced. The sequences were compared at the DNA and protein level to known genes in databases. For 57% of the clones, a significant match to previously described genes was found. The information will permit the conversion of those markers to STS markers and allow their use in PCR-based mapping experiments. Furthermore, it will facilitate the comparative mapping of genes across distantly related plant species by direct comparison of DNA sequences and map positions. [cDNA sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the EMBL database under accession nos. AA824695-AA825005 and the dbEST_Id database under accession nos. 1546519-1546862.]

A comparison of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) lectin with its deglycosylated derivative.

Project description:A deglycosylated derivative of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) lectin was prepared with the use of trifluoromethanesulphonic acid. Its properties were generally similar to those of the native lectin, but differences were evident in terms of relative agglutinating activity towards sheep, (untreated) human and trypsin-treated human erythrocytes. The two forms of tomato lectin were used in conjunction with a battery of specific antisera to investigate structural relatedness among solanaceous lectins. Immunological cross-reactivity between tomato, potato and Datura lectins depends on the integrity of the glycosylated region of those lectins; that between Datura lectin and other seed lectins, however, has a separate structural basis.

Molecular docking-aided identification of small molecule inhibitors targeting β-catenin-TCF4 interaction.

Project description:Here we report a molecular docking-based approach to identify small molecules that can target the β-catenin (β-cat)-TCF4 protein-protein interaction (PPI), a key effector complex for nuclear Wnt signaling activity. Specifically, we developed and optimized a computational model of β-cat using publicly available β-cat protein crystal structures, and existing β-cat-TCF4 interaction inhibitors as the training set. Using our computational model to an in silico screen predicted 27 compounds as good binders to β-cat, of which 3 were identified to be effective against a Wnt-responsive luciferase reporter. In vitro functional validation experiments revealed GB1874 as an inhibitor of the Wnt pathway that targets the β-cat-TCF4 PPI. GB1874 also affected the proliferation and stemness of Wnt-addicted colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in vitro. Encouragingly, GB1874 inhibited the growth of CRC tumor xenografts in vivo, thus demonstrating its potential for further development into therapeutics against Wnt-associated cancer indications.

Molecular docking analysis of Bcl-2 with phyto-compounds.

Project description:The Bcl-2 protein is liked in several cancers and drug resistance to therapy is also known in this context. There are many Bcl-2 inhibitors under clinical trials. It is of further interest to design new Bcl2 inhibitors from phyto compounds such as artesunate, bruceantin, maytansin, Salvicine, indicine N-oxide, kamebanin and oxyacanthine. We report the optimal binding features of these compounds with Bcl-2 for further consideration towards in vitro and in vivo validation.
