Enzymatic transformation is a fundamental process to control ligand-receptor interactions among proteins for signal transduction in cells. Here we report the first example of enzymatic transformation regulated ligand-receptor interactions of small molecules, in which enzymatic reaction changes the stoichiometry of the ligand-receptor binding from 1 : 1 to 1 : 2. We also show that this unique integration of enzymatic transformation and ligand-receptor interactions of small molecules is able to affect the fate of cells.
酶促转化是控制细胞中蛋白质间配体 - 受体相互作用以进行信号转导的基本过程。在此,我们报道了小分子的酶促转化调节配体 - 受体相互作用的首个实例,其中酶促反应将配体 - 受体结合的化学计量比从1∶1改变为1∶2。我们还表明,这种酶促转化与小分子配体 - 受体相互作用的独特整合能够影响细胞命运。
