Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are known to protect cells from heat, oxidative stress, and the cytotoxic effects of drugs, and thus can enhance cancer cell survival. As a result, HSPs are a newly emerging class of protein targets for chemotherapy. Among the various HSPs, the HSP70 family is the most highly conserved and prevalent. Herein we describe the development of a β-alanine rich linear polyamide that binds the GGA heat shock elements (HSEs) 3 and 4 in the HSP70 promoter in an unusual 1:1 mode and inhibits heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) binding in vitro.
热休克蛋白(HSPs)已知可保护细胞免受热、氧化应激和药物的细胞毒性作用,从而增强癌细胞的存活能力。因此,HSPs 是化疗的一个新兴的蛋白质靶标类别。在各种 HSPs 中,HSP70 家族是最保守和普遍的。本文描述了一种富含β-丙氨酸的线性聚酰胺的开发,该聚酰胺以不寻常的 1:1 模式结合 HSP70 启动子中的 GGA 热休克元件(HSEs)3 和 4,并抑制体外热休克转录因子 1(HSF1)结合。
