Dihydroxymethyl and monohydroxymethyl methylenecyclopropane nucleosides are effective inhibitors of both variants of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). We investigated involvement of HHV-6 U69 protein kinase in their mechanism of action. Phosphorylation of the dihydroxymethyl analogue cyclopropavir and monohydroxymethyl nucleosides with either a 6-ether moiety (MBX 2168) or a 6-thioether moiety (MBX 1616) with purified U69 was examined. All three compounds were substrates of this viral kinase and had similar Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters.
二羟甲基和单羟甲基亚甲基环丙烷核苷是两种人类疱疹病毒 6(HHV-6)变体的有效抑制剂。我们研究了 HHV-6 U69 蛋白激酶在其作用机制中的作用。用纯化的 U69 对二羟甲基类似物环丙氟尿苷和单羟甲基核苷进行磷酸化,其中一个具有 6-醚部分(MBX 2168),另一个具有 6-硫醚部分(MBX 1616)。这三种化合物都是这种病毒激酶的底物,具有相似的米氏动力学参数。
