Journal ArticleDOI

DecoyFinder: an easy-to-use python GUI application for building target-specific decoy sets

TL;DR: To the best of the knowledge, DecoyFinder is the first application designed to build target-specific decoy sets, and it is provided as a validation on 10 DUD targets as Supplementary Table S1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ (PPARγ) and Ligand Choreography: Newcomers Take the Stage.

TL;DR: Facing the new mechanistic scenario proposed for these compounds is essential for resolving the paradoxes among their agonistic function, antidi diabetic activities, and side effects and should allow the rational development of better and safer PPARγ-mediated antidiabetic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic Regulation of Histone Acetyltransferases by Endogenous Acyl-CoA Cofactors

TL;DR: A novel chemoproteomic probe is used to define the metabolic regulation of lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) enzymes and identifies a previously unreported interaction between palmitoyl coenzyme A (palMIToyl-CoA) and KAT enzymes, which implicate fatty acyl-CoAs as endogenous regulators of histone acetylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insights for the design of new PPARgamma partial agonists with high binding affinity and low transactivation activity

TL;DR: The results suggest that effective partial agonists should have a hydrophobic moiety and an acceptor site with an appropriate conformation to interact with arm II and establish a hydrogen bond with Ser342 or an equivalent residue at arm III.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the Covalent Targets of a Small Molecule Inhibitor of the Lysine Acetyltransferase P300

TL;DR: Findings should enable a more precise interpretation of studies utilizing C646 as a chemical probe of KAT activity and suggest that an underappreciated liability of electrophile-containing inhibitors is a reduction in their cellular potency due to consumption by abundant protein and metabolite thiol sinks.
