The role of ADAM-8 in cancer and inflammatory diseases such as allergy, arthritis and asthma makes it an attractive target for drug development. Therefore, the catalytic domain of human ADAM-8 was expressed, purified and crystallized in complex with a hydroxamic acid inhibitor, batimastat. The crystal structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was refined to 2.1 Å resolution. ADAM-8 has an overall fold similar to those of other ADAM members, including a central five-stranded β-sheet and a catalytic Zn(2+) ion. However, unique differences within the S1' binding loop of ADAM-8 are observed which might be exploited to confer specificity and selectivity to ADAM-8 competitive inhibitors for the treatment of diseases involving this enzyme.
ADAM-8在癌症以及诸如过敏、关节炎和哮喘等炎症性疾病中所起的作用,使其成为药物研发的一个有吸引力的靶点。因此,人ADAM-8的催化结构域得以表达、纯化,并与一种异羟肟酸抑制剂batimastat形成复合物后进行结晶。该酶-抑制剂复合物的晶体结构被精修至2.1 Å的分辨率。ADAM-8的整体折叠结构与其他ADAM家族成员相似,包括一个中心的五链β-折叠片层和一个催化性Zn(2+)离子。然而,在ADAM-8的S1'结合环内观察到了独特的差异,这些差异可能被用于赋予ADAM-8竞争性抑制剂特异性和选择性,以治疗涉及该酶的疾病。
