Steven Zheng1* and Ting-Fung Chan2 synthesis (Russell and Eggleston 2000) and new screening technologies such as small chemical compound (MacBeath 1Department of Pathology and Immunology and 2Molecular et al. 1999) and protein microarrays (MacBeath and and Cellular Biology Program, Campus Box 8069 Schreiber 2000; Zhu et al. 2000; Haab et al. 2001). In this Washington University School of Medicine article, we will provide a detailed analysis of the current 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63110 USA state of chemical genomics and its potential impact on biological and medical research, and pharmaceutical development. Abstract Chemical Biology or Genetics The knowledge of complete sequences of different organisms is dramatically changing the landscape of Since the seminal study of pea genetics by Mendal in 1865, biological research and pharmaceutical development. genetic analysis has been the benchmark for understanding We are experiencing a transition from a trial-and-error gene or protein functions. In classical genetics or forward approach in traditional biological research and natural genetics, the genomic DNA of a model organism or cell is product drug discovery to a systematic operation in randomly mutagenized to generate large numbers of genomics and target-specific drug design and mutants, which are screened for a desirable phenotype or selection. Small, cell-permeable and target-specific trait, such as alteration in growth, appearance or behavior. chemical ligands are particularly useful in systematic The phenotypes are then used to identify the responsible genomic approaches to study biological questions. -

www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evaluation of the role of STAP1 in Familial Hypercholesterolemia Magdalena Danyel1,2, Claus-Eric Ott 2, Thomas Grenkowitz1, Bastian Salewsky1, Andrew A. Hicks 3, Christian Fuchsberger3, Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen1, 1 1 1,4 Received: 17 January 2019 Thomas Bobbert , Ursula Kassner & Ilja Demuth Accepted: 2 August 2019 Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterised by elevated serum levels of low-density lipoprotein Published: xx xx xxxx cholesterol (LDL-C) and a substantial risk for cardiovascular disease. The autosomal-dominant FH is mostly caused by mutations in LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor), APOB (apolipoprotein B), and PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin). Recently, STAP1 has been suggested as a fourth causative gene. We analyzed STAP1 in 75 hypercholesterolemic patients from Berlin, Germany, who are negative for mutations in canonical FH genes. In 10 patients with negative family history, we additionally screened for disease causing variants in LDLRAP1 (low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1), associated with autosomal-recessive hypercholesterolemia. We identifed one STAP1 variant predicted to be disease causing. To evaluate association of serum lipid levels and STAP1 carrier status, we analyzed 20 individuals from a population based cohort, the Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol (CHRIS) study, carrying rare STAP1 variants. Out of the same cohort we randomly selected 100 non-carriers as control. In the Berlin FH cohort STAP1 variants were rare. In the CHRIS cohort, we obtained no statistically signifcant diferences between carriers and non-carriers of STAP1 variants with respect to lipid traits. Until such an association has been verifed in more individuals with genetic variants in STAP1, we cannot estimate whether STAP1 generally is a causative gene for FH. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

ABSTRACT Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains are presumed to bind phosphoinositides (PIPs), but specific interaction with and regulation by PIPs for most PH domain-containing proteins are unclear. Here we employed a single-molecule pulldown assay to study interactions of lipid vesicles with full-length proteins in mammalian whole cell lysates. -
Link Mining for Kernel-Based Compound-Protein Interaction Predictions Using a Chemogenomics Approach
Link Mining for Kernel-based Compound-Protein Interaction Predictions Using a Chemogenomics Approach Masahito Ohue1,2,3,4*, Takuro Yamazaki3, Tomohiro Ban4, and Yutaka Akiyama1,2,3,4* 1Department of Computer Science, School of Computing, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan 2Advanced Computational Drug Discovery Unit, Institute of Innovative Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan 3Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan 4Department of Computer Science, Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan *[email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Virtual screening (VS) is widely used during computational drug dis- covery to reduce costs. Chemogenomics-based virtual screening (CGBVS) can be used to predict new compound-protein interactions (CPIs) from known CPI network data using several methods, including machine learning and data min- ing. Although CGBVS facilitates highly efficient and accurate CPI prediction, it has poor performance for prediction of new compounds for which CPIs are un- known. The pairwise kernel method (PKM) is a state-of-the-art CGBVS method and shows high accuracy for prediction of new compounds. In this study, on the basis of link mining, we improved the PKM by combining link indicator kernel (LIK) and chemical similarity and evaluated the accuracy of these methods. The proposed method obtained an average area under the precision-recall curve (AUPR) value of 0.562, which was higher than that achieved by the conven- tional Gaussian interaction profile (GIP) method (0.425), and the calculation time was only increased by a few percent. Keywords: virtual screening; compound-protein interactions (CPIs); pairwise kernel; link mining; link indicator kernels (LIKs) 1 Introduction Virtual screening (VS), in which drug candidate compounds are selected by a computational method, is one of the main processes in the early stages of drug dis- covery. -

Chemogenomics: an Emerging Strategy for Rapid Target and Drug Discovery
REVIEWS CHEMOGENOMICS: AN EMERGING STRATEGY FOR RAPID TARGET AND DRUG DISCOVERY Markus Bredel*‡ and Edgar Jacoby§ Chemogenomics is an emerging discipline that combines the latest tools of genomics and chemistry and applies them to target and drug discovery. Its strength lies in eliminating the bottleneck that currently occurs in target identification by measuring the broad, conditional effects of chemical libraries on whole biological systems or by screening large chemical libraries quickly and efficiently against selected targets. The hope is that chemogenomics will concurrently identify and validate therapeutic targets and detect drug candidates to rapidly and effectively generate new treatments for many human diseases.

Tsakoumagkos and Sascha Hoogendoorn * Department of Organic Chemistry, University of Geneva, Quai Ernest-Ansermet 30, 1211 Genève, Switzerland; [email protected] (Q.T.L.P.); [email protected] (I.A.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +41-223796085 Academic Editor: Steven Verhelst Received: 9 November 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 3 December 2020 Abstract: Biologically active small molecules have a central role in drug development, and as chemical probes and tool compounds to perturb and elucidate biological processes. Small molecules can be rationally designed for a given target, or a library of molecules can be screened against a target or phenotype of interest. Especially in the case of phenotypic screening approaches, a major challenge is to translate the compound-induced phenotype into a well-defined cellular target and mode of action of the hit compound. There is no “one size fits all” approach, and recent years have seen an increase in available target deconvolution strategies, rooted in organic chemistry, proteomics, and genetics. This review provides an overview of advances in target identification and mechanism of action studies, describes the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, and illustrates the need for chemical biologists to integrate and expand the existing tools to increase the probability of evolving screen hits to robust chemical probes.
