  • Assessing Mimicry of the Transition State
    View Article Online / Journal Homepage / Table of Contents for this issue PERSPECTIVE www.rsc.org/obc | Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry Glycosidase inhibition: assessing mimicry of the transition state Tracey M. Gloster*a,b and Gideon J. Davies*a Received 5th August 2009, Accepted 30th September 2009 First published as an Advance Article on the web 5th November 2009 DOI: 10.1039/b915870g Glycoside hydrolases, the enzymes responsible for hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond in di-, oligo- and polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates, are ubiquitous in Nature and fundamental to existence. The extreme stability of the glycosidic bond has meant these enzymes have evolved into highly proficient catalysts, with an estimated 1017 fold rate enhancement over the uncatalysed reaction. Such rate enhancements mean that enzymes bind the substrate at the transition state with extraordinary affinity; the dissociation constant for the transition state is predicted to be 10-22 M. Inhibition of glycoside hydrolases has widespread application in the treatment of viral infections, such as influenza and HIV, lysosomal storage disorders, cancer and diabetes. If inhibitors are designed to mimic the transition state, it should be possible to harness some of the transition state affinity, resulting in highly potent and specific drugs. Here we examine a number of glycosidase inhibitors which have been developed over the past half century, either by Nature or synthetically by man. A number of criteria have been proposed to ascertain which of these inhibitors are true transition state mimics, but these features have only be critically investigated in a very few cases. Introduction molecules, lipids or proteins), constitute between 1 and 3% of the genome of most organisms.1 The task facing these enzymes Glycosidases, the enzymes responsible for the breakdown of di-, with respect to maintaining efficient and highly specific catalysis oligo- and polysaccharides, and glyconjugates, are ubiquitous is no mean feat; it has been calculated that there are 1.05 ¥ 1012 through all kingdoms of life.

Thus, it has been reported that laforin and malin form a functional complex that acts as a key regulator of glycogen metabolism and that also plays a crucial role in protein homeostasis (proteostasis). In relationship with this last function, it has been shown that cells are more sensitive to ER-stress and show defects in proteasome and autophagy activities in the absence of a functional laforin-malin complex.

  • A Gene (Neu-1) on Chromosome 17 of the Mouse Affects Acid O-Glucosidase and Codes for Neuraminidase
    Genet. Res., Camb. (1918), 38, pp. 47-55 47 With 1 plate and 1 text-figure Printed in Great Britain A gene (Neu-1) on chromosome 17 of the mouse affects acid o-glucosidase and codes for neuraminidase BY JOSEPHINE PETERS,1 DALLAS M. SWALLOW,2 SANDRA J. ANDREWS,1 AND LORRAINE EVANS2 1 MRC Radiobiology Unit, Harwell, Didcot, Oxon, 0X11 ORD, U.K. 2 MRC Human Biochemical Genetics Unit, Galton Laboratory University College London, Wolf son House, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, U.K, (Received 13 November 1980 and in revised form 19 December 1980) SUMMARY An electrophoretically detectable variant of acid a-glucosidase has been found in SM/J mice. This variant is attributable to excess sialylation of the enzyme and is determined by a gene, alpha-glucosidase processing, Aglp, on chromosome 17. In addition, as also reported by Potier, Lu Shun Yan & Womack (1979), SM/J mice are relatively deficient in neuraminidase and it appears that the low level of this enzyme in SM/J is determined by an autosomal codominant gene, neuraminidase-1, Neu-1. Preliminary data indicate that Neu-1 is also on chromosome 17. It seems probable that the several processing genes Apl, Aglp and Map-2 which are all closely linked on chromosome 17 are one and the same, a gene Neu-1 coding for neuraminidase. 1. INTRODUCTION A number of genes have been identified in the mouse, Mus musculus, which determine differences in the degree of sialylation of enzymes which are glyco- proteins. These include alpha-mannosidase processing-1 (Map-1) and alpha- mannosidase processing-2 (Map-2) which influence the sialylation of a-manno- sidase (EC 3.2.1.24) (Dizik & Elliott, 1977, 1978) and acid phosphatase-liver (Apl) which affects acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) (Lalley & Shows, 1977).
