TRIAZOLE DAGL(α) INHIBITORS

TL;DR: In this paper, triazole compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds useful as modulators of DAGL(α) and DAGl(β) are presented and used for the treatment of neurodegenerative or neuroinflammatory disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resin-based investigation of acyl carrier protein interaction networks in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: A resin-based technique is demonstrated that leverages the unique tools for acyl carrier protein (ACP) modification with non-hydrolyzable linkages for investigation of protein interaction networks with the changing identity of a given protein target.

ABHD17 enzymes regulate dynamic plasma membrane palmitoylation and N-Ras-dependent cancer growth

TL;DR: ABD957 produced partial effects on N-Ras palmitoylation compared to Palmostatin M, but was much more selective across the proteome, reflecting a plasma membrane-delineated action on dynamically palMIToylated proteins.
Posted ContentDOI

Assigning functionality to cysteines by base editing of cancer dependency genes

TL;DR: In this article , a base-editing strategy was proposed to infer the functionality of cysteines by quantifying the impact of their missense mutation on cell proliferation, and the resulting atlas was used to identify essential, ligandable cysteine on >110 cancer dependency proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligands in crystal structures that aid in functional characterization

TL;DR: An overview and commentary on the value of liganded structures emerging from the JCSG structural genomics initiative.
