Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery and Biological Evaluation of a New Family of Potent Inhibitors of the Dual Specificity Protein Phosphatase CDC25.
John S. Lazo,Diana C. Aslan,Eileen C. Southwick,Kathleen A Cooley,Alexander P. Ducruet,Beomjun Joo,and Andreas Vogt,Peter Wipf +7 more
TL;DR: Using a chemical complementation assay, it was found that NSC 663284 blocked cellular Erk dephosphorylation caused by ectopic Cdc25A expression, and computational electrostatic potential mapping suggested the need for an electron-deficient 7-position for maximal inhibitor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Potent and Selective Pharmacophore for Cdc25 Dual Specificity Phosphatase Inhibitors.
John S. Lazo,Kaoru Nemoto,Katharine Pestell,Kathleen A Cooley,Eileen C. Southwick,Douglas A. Mitchell,William Furey,Rick Gussio,Daniel W. Zaharevitz,Beomjun Joo,Peter Wipf +10 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that inhibitors based on this chemical structure could serve as useful tools to probe the biological function of Cdc25 and modification of the bis-thioethanol moiety markedly decreased enzyme inhibitory activity, indicating its importance for bioactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox regulation of Cdc25B by cell-active quinolinediones.
Marni Brisson,Theresa Nguyen,Peter Wipf,Beomjun Joo,Billy W. Day,John J. Skoko,Emanuel M. Schreiber,Caleb Foster,Pallavi Bansal,John S. Lazo +9 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that irreversible oxidation of the catalytic cysteine of Cdc25B is indeed a mechanism by which these quinolinediones inactivate this protein phosphatase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Independent mechanistic inhibition of cdc25 phosphatases by a natural product caulibugulone.
Marni Brisson,Caleb Foster,Peter Wipf,Beomjun Joo,Robert J. Tomko,Theresa Nguyen,John S. Lazo +6 more
TL;DR: Caulibugulones are selective in vitro inhibitors of the Cdc25 family of cell cycle-controlling protein phosphatases compared with either human vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR) or tyrosineosphatase 1B (PTP1B).
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and biological evaluation of caulibugulones A–E
TL;DR: The marine bryozoan metabolites caulibugulone A-E were prepared from a readily available isoquinoline dione and found to be potent and selective inhibitors of the dual specificity phosphatase Cdc25B.
