Journal ArticleDOI
The structural basis for substrate and inhibitor selectivity of the anthrax lethal factor.
Benjamin E. Turk,Thiang Yian Wong,Robert Schwarzenbacher,Emily T Jarrell,Stephen H. Leppla,R. John Collier,Robert C. Liddington,Lewis C. Cantley +7 more
TL;DR: A mixture-based peptide library approach is applied to rapidly determine the optimal peptide substrate for the anthrax lethal factor (LF), a metalloproteinase with an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of small molecule inhibitors of anthrax lethal factor
Rekha G. Panchal,Ann R. Hermone,Tam Luong Nguyen,Thiang Yian Wong,Robert Schwarzenbacher,James J. Schmidt,Douglas Lane,Connor F. McGrath,Benjamin E. Turk,James C. Burnett,M. Javad Aman,Stephen F. Little,Edward A. Sausville,Daniel W. Zaharevitz,Lewis C. Cantley,Robert C. Liddington,Rick Gussio,Sina Bavari +17 more
TL;DR: Six inhibitors of LF are described on the basis of a pharmacophoric relationship determined using X-ray crystallographic data, molecular docking studies and three-dimensional (3D) database mining from the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) chemical repository.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient synthetic inhibitors of anthrax lethal factor
Martino Forino,Sherida L. Johnson,Thiang Yian Wong,Dmitri V. Rozanov,Alexei Y. Savinov,Wei Li,Roberto Fattorusso,Barbara Becattini,Andrew Orry,Dawoon Jung,Ruben Abagyan,Jeffrey W. Smith,Ken Alibek,Robert C. Liddington,Alex Y. Strongin,Maurizio Pellecchia +15 more
TL;DR: The data strongly indicate that the scaffold of inhibitors identified is the foundation for the development of novel, safe, and effective emergency therapy of postexposure inhalation anthrax.
